SupplierGATEWAY

SupplierGATEWAY enables E&I members to manage supplier onboarding, compliance, and ongoing supplier relationships within a single, centralised platform. With access to the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) Console and Aria, an embedded AI assistant, teams can monitor supplier status, surface risk indicators, and reduce manual tracking across the supplier lifecycle.

SupplierGATEWAY provides a SaaS platform that supports supplier onboarding, risk and compliance management, and supplier data visibility for institutions of all sizes. The platform centralises supplier engagement across the supplier lifecycle, from sourcing and onboarding through monitoring and offboarding, while supporting operational, financial, and sustainability objectives. With the addition of the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) Console, E&I members have access to a consolidated view of supplier relationships, including engagement activity, risk indicators, and compliance status. Combined with Aria, an embedded AI assistant, the platform helps reduce manual tracking and supports more efficient day?to?day supplier management.

Contract Differentiators
  • NEW – Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) Console – Zero Cost to E&I Members A dedicated SRM capability now available to all E&I members at absolutely no cost. Provides a live, centralised view of supplier engagement, compliance status, and risk across your entire vendor base. Replaces manual tracking and fragmented processes with a single, real-time dashboard – accessible immediately as part of your membership, with no budget approval or implementation project required.
  • Aria – AI Assistant Built directly into the platform, Aria provides real-time guidance, answers procurement team questions, and helps users navigate both the SRM and the wider SupplierGATEWAY platform reducing reliance on support teams and accelerating time to value.
  • All-in-One Annual Subscription Includes implementation, API integrations (SAP, Oracle, Workday, and more), training, onboarding, and ongoing support with no hidden costs or additional procurement required.
  •  Streamlined Onboarding Workflows Automate supplier intake with customisable workflows, centralised data management, and a supplier self-service portal that enables suppliers to manage and update their own information. Consent-driven document sharing ensures secure, efficient access to sensitive data – no chasing PDFs or email threads.
  •  Accelerated Supplier Onboarding Filter for “Onboarding Ready” suppliers – pre-vetted for identity, credentials, insurance, and risk indicators – to reduce delays and eliminate manual intake bottlenecks.
  •  Comprehensive Risk & Compliance Monitoring Real-time checks for financial risk, sanctions, litigation, and regulatory compliance, powered by Experian and global watchlists including OIG, SAM, EPLS, OFAC, and PEP.
  •  Economic Impact & Spend Analytics Upload spend files to generate reports showing Tier 1 spend by category, geography, and division and quantify job creation and local economic contributions across your supply chain.
  •  Smart Supplier Discovery Use advanced filters to identify suppliers by location, certification, industry, and business size – locally or globally – to support smarter, more strategic sourcing decisions.
