Inviting and Creating Suppliers

Inviting suppliers to build profiles in your database streamlines sourcing, facilitates efficient communication, and help accelerate decision-making. This collaborative approach not only saves time when looking for supplier information, but seamlessly brings your database into the large network of suppliers Reposite provides to continue sourcing.

Inviting Suppliers

The “My Suppliers” tab enables you to send pre-formatted email invitations to suppliers that are not yet registered with Reposite to join and create a profile.

Creating Supplier Profiles

Creating profiles within Reposite will help to centralize and organize all your supplier contacts, ensuring easy accessibility and streamlined management for an efficient planning process.

Note: Supplier profiles that you create are not uploaded for all planners on Reposite to see. They will not appear in other planners' searches, and exist purely for the use of the planner account that created the profile.
