Vendor Hub

Suppliers keep their own
records up to date

You send an invitation. They fill in the form, upload what you asked for, and the system watches the expiry dates from then on. Your team reviews rather than chases.

This is the real screen. Onboarding forms, EP Scores and compliance validity, from the product.

How it feels to use

The chase list is the thing that disappears

Ask a procurement coordinator what takes up their week and supplier paperwork is usually near the top. Not because it is hard, but because it never ends.

An insurance certificate expires. A tax form is out of date. A supplier changed their bank details and told one person by email. Somebody has to notice each of these, and the noticing is the job.

eProcureAI moves that work to the supplier and the calendar. You send an invitation, they complete the onboarding form themselves, and every document they upload carries an expiry date the system watches from then on.

Different forms for different suppliers

Not every supplier needs the same paperwork. A standard onboarding form covers most, while something like the FAR supplier compliance form asks for a great deal more from suppliers working on government contracts. You choose which form goes out with the invitation.

A score, so reviews are quick

Once a supplier has completed onboarding they carry an EP Score. It is a single number that tells your team where a supplier sits without opening five documents, and it is what makes an annual compliance review something you work through rather than dread.

Suppliers update their own insurance and banking now. Our team went from a weekly chase list to reviewing exceptions once a month.Alvin M., Sr. Director Strategic Sourcing, healthcare
How onboarding runs

From invitation to first purchase order

Step 1

Send the invitation

You enter a name, an email and which onboarding form applies. The supplier receives a portal link listing exactly what is needed.

Your effortThree fields

Step 2

They complete the form

Company details, tax forms, insurance and banking, entered by the people who actually hold them rather than transcribed by yours.

Typed by youNone

Step 3

Verification

Banking details are checked before any payment can be released, and uploaded documents are validated against what the form required.

BankingVerified before payment

Step 4

Review and score

Your team reviews once. The supplier is categorised, given an EP Score and assigned a compliance validity period.

Step 5

Watched from then on

Expiry dates are tracked and the supplier is chased before anything lapses. Your team only sees the exceptions.

What sits on a vendor record

Everything you would otherwise go looking for

The profile and its validity

Category, contact details, location and a compliance validity period. When a supplier is approved for 2026, that is on the record rather than in somebody's memory of a conversation.

  • Core profile with category and contact details
  • Compliance validity with an end date
  • Approval state visible at a glance
  • Annual review scheduled rather than remembered

Their own form responses

What the supplier actually submitted, kept against the record. When somebody asks six months later what a supplier declared, the answer is a click rather than an email search.

  • Form responses stored as submitted
  • Which form was used is recorded
  • Invited and submitted dates both kept
  • Re-requests can target a single missing document

Documents with expiry dates

This is the part that saves the most time. Every certificate carries a date, and the date is what triggers the chase rather than a person noticing.

  • Expiry tracked on every document type
  • Supplier chased before it lapses, not after
  • Escalation if there is no response
  • New orders can be blocked when critical cover expires

Where a supplier sits and what happens next

Taken from the vendor directory and the onboarding list in the product.

StateWhat it meansCan you buy from themWho acts next
Invitation sentThe form has gone out and nothing has come back yetNoThe supplier, with a reminder from us

ExpiringApproved, but a required document lapses soonYes, for nowThe supplier, chased automatically
LapsedA required document has expiredNew orders blockedThe supplier, escalated

Existing commitments are left alone when a document lapses. Only new orders are stopped, which avoids punishing a delivery that is already in transit.

Staying compliant

What the system watches so nobody has to

Expiry

Dates on every document

Insurance, certifications and tax forms all carry an expiry. The supplier is reminded before it lapses and escalated if they stay quiet.

ReminderBefore expiry
EscalationIf ignored
Annual review

Compliance validity by year

Suppliers are approved for a period rather than forever, so an annual review is a list you work through rather than a project you launch.

ValidityPer year
ReviewScheduled
Banking

Verified before payment

Bank detail changes are checked before any money can move, which closes the most common way companies are defrauded through accounts payable.

CheckedBefore payment
ChangesNever silent
EP Score

One number per supplier

A score makes a directory scannable. It tells your team where to look without opening every document on every record.

Re-request

Ask for one document

When something is missing you can request that single document rather than restarting the whole onboarding form.

Everything searchable

Category, status, score and validity in one list, so finding every supplier due review this quarter is a filter rather than an exercise.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What is an EP Score?
A single number carried by every onboarded supplier that summarises where they stand. It exists so your team can scan a directory and know where to look, rather than opening every document on every record.
Do suppliers pay to use the portal?
No. Access is free, which is exactly why supplier maintained data stays current. Nobody keeps a record up to date that they are charged to reach.
Can we use different onboarding forms for different suppliers?
Yes. A standard form covers most, and heavier forms such as the FAR supplier compliance onboarding are used where the obligations demand more. You choose which form goes out with the invitation.
What happens when a certificate expires?
The supplier is reminded before it lapses and escalated if they do not respond. If it does lapse, new orders can be blocked while existing commitments continue untouched.
How are bank detail changes handled?
They are verified before any payment can be released. Bank detail fraud is one of the most common attacks on accounts payable and it is worth a deliberate check every time.
Can we ask for just one missing document?
Yes. A document can be requested on its own rather than restarting the entire onboarding form, which suppliers appreciate more than you would expect.
How does the annual review work?
Suppliers carry a compliance validity period rather than being approved indefinitely, so the review becomes a filtered list to work through instead of an audit you have to organise.
How is this different from VendorHub?
Vendor Hub inside eProcureAI is the supplier record your buying runs against. VendorHub is the separate product for companies onboarding suppliers at high volume or across many languages, and approved suppliers from it flow into this directory.
