B2B portals for working with suppliers

Automate your work with suppliers through a single window. The introduction of a B2B portal for suppliers makes it possible to increase the speed of connecting new partners by 3 times or more, adding a new product range, as well as improving the quality of data on goods that come from suppliers.

You've lost your income at least several times because

The supplier did not send enough information to place items on online or offline shelves. Due to approvals, the product update was delayed for a week or more.

You sold the item at a loss.
The supplier's email went into spam, and the manager was unable to update the purchase prices in time.

You did not post photos of the new packaging on the site and received negative feedback from customers “They sent me the wrong product”.

To part with a supplier, you need to spend several working days on internal approvals of documents.

Working with suppliers should be like this

It takes a few minutes to add a new vendor and turn off the one you've broken up with.

There are no endless correspondence and clarifications: all requirements are collected in one place and are obvious to your managers and the supplier. There is no need to tell or ask for anything separately.

Information about new prices and products is not lost.

Working with each specific supplier does not depend on which managers are currently in the workplace.

The supplier portal is a single window for working with all your contractors

A supplier portal is a type of B2B portal where purchasing company managers (mainly from retail, but maybe any other area) work with an assortment of 10, 20 or more suppliers.

Through the supplier portal, the company sets requirements for information about goods that come from suppliers. What data, files, and additional information are needed to organize logistics, online and offline sales, marketing campaigns, etc.

All information is collected in one source, and your managers are interchangeable.

The supplier immediately understands whether the information provided is sufficient

All work processes are transparent with the B2B supplier portal | KT.team

The system has requirements for product information. If there is not enough data on one or more items, the system immediately highlights this. You don't have to wait several hours (or days) for your manager to get around to sorting out the supplier's offer.

Information is neither spammed nor lost

The supplier sees whether their offer or update about cooks has been downloaded. Your manager sees all the changes in his personal account: what products have been added and what parameters have changed for the current product range.
