Supplier Collaboration Platform.
Supplier collaboration is the shared workflow between your company and its suppliers: requests for quotation, purchase order confirmations, shipment notices and invoices. Sourced puts all of it in one platform, your team on one side and every supplier self-served on the other, instead of scattered email threads.

Supplier onboarding & scoring
The problem
Buyer-supplier communication lives in inboxes: RFQs sent by email, quotes in attachments, PO confirmations that never arrive, 'where is my delivery?' phone calls, invoices lost in AP. Neither side has visibility, and every handoff is a chance to drop the ball.
The solution
A collaboration layer both sides actually use. Your team publishes RFQs and POs; suppliers quote, confirm, announce shipments (ASN) and upload invoices through their portal. The AI buyer chases whatever doesn't move. Everything is tracked, timestamped and synced to your ERP.
No more chasing: the AI buyer follows up quotes, confirmations and deliveries automatically
Every exchange documented in one auditable timeline per purchase
Suppliers onboard themselves in minutes and operate at no cost
What buyer-supplier collaboration includes.
RFQs suppliers can answer anywhere
Suppliers receive requests by email or portal, ask questions and quote in a structured format that makes offers comparable.
PO confirmation & changes
Suppliers confirm each purchase order, or propose date and quantity changes, with full traceability.
Advance shipment notices (ASN)
Before shipping, suppliers announce full or partial deliveries, so your warehouse knows what is coming and when.
Invoices against POs
Suppliers upload invoices tied to purchase orders; 3-way matching validates them automatically.
Supplier self-service portal
Onboarding, documents, certificates and payment status, without a single email to your team.
Two-way ERP sync
Everything lands in SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics, TOTVS or Tango: the collaboration layer, not a parallel system.

Supplier collaboration: frequently asked questions.
What is supplier collaboration in supply chain?
The structured exchange of information between a buying company and its suppliers across the purchasing cycle: requests for quotation, purchase order confirmations, shipment notices, goods receipts and invoices. Collaboration software replaces the email threads where this normally happens.
How is this different from a supplier portal?
The portal is the supplier-facing door; collaboration is the full two-way workflow it enables. Sourced includes both: your team works from the platform connected to your ERP, suppliers work from the portal: same data, two views.
Do suppliers have to pay or install anything?
No. Suppliers use the portal from any browser at no cost, or simply reply by email; the AI buyer structures their responses either way. Adoption doesn't depend on forcing anyone.
What does the AI buyer do in the collaboration?
It handles the operational chasing: sending RFQs, answering routine supplier questions, following up quotes and confirmations, and flagging deliveries at risk, so your team only steps in to decide.
