For suppliers
If you're a supplier of a company that uses Sourced, this section is for you: how to sign up, quote requests and tenders, and manage orders, shipments and invoices from your portal. We designed the portal so you can operate it autonomously, without technical knowledge.
How to access your portal
Each company that uses Sourced has its own supplier portal, with its branding and its own web address (something like …/supplier-portal/your-company). You reach it in two ways:
Through the public link your customer shares with you, or
Through the invitation email to a tender.
The first time you create your account with your email and complete the registration (see Sign up as a supplier). After that you always sign in with that same email. The portal is in Spanish, English and Portuguese, and works from your computer or your phone.
The first thing you see
When you enter you arrive at the main screen, a summary of what needs your attention: active tenders, pending proposals and upcoming due dates. If your customer has the operational part enabled, you also see orders to confirm, pending invoices and shipments. A menu on the left takes you to each section.
The sections of your portal
Depending on what your customer has enabled, you'll see:
My tenders: invitations, bases, questions and your proposals.
Purchase orders: the POs they issue to you, to confirm.
Shipping notices: report your shipments with carrier and tracking.
Invoices: upload your invoices as PDF; the AI extracts the data automatically.
Statements: send your statements to reconcile balances.
Conversations: the threads with your customer, grouped by document.
Consignment: your consigned stock settlements, if you operate under that scheme.
My profile: your data, contacts and categories, always editable.
Also without a portal
Spot requests for quotation reach you by email and you can answer them by email: the system reads your response and loads it automatically into the platform. The portal adds traceability and self-service, but email keeps working.
