Suppliers Explained
Your suppliers are central to everything in ChemCloud — they provide the quotes, deliver the materials, and supply the documents your team relies on. The Suppliers module gives you a single place to manage all of this.What It Does
The Suppliers module brings together everything about your supplier relationships:- Supplier profiles — contact details, account managers, and relationship information
- Supplier products — the specific products each supplier offers, with codes, specifications, and pack sizes
- Contacts — the people you deal with at each supplier, and which notifications they receive
- Performance — delivery reliability, COA quality, and response times tracked via SIFOT Analytics
- Visibility controls — choose what information to share with your suppliers about your raw material needs
