A transparent, adjustable model.

The calculator estimates current annual labor hours, applies the selected reduction in manual effort, converts saved hours to labor value, adds other avoidable costs, and subtracts the estimated annual platform investment.

For a formal business case, SDS can refine assumptions using actual process volumes, role-level labor costs, response rates, error rates, and workflow data.

Core Capabilities

One structured process for supplier information

SupplierSync by SDS improves how information is requested, submitted, reviewed, and maintained throughout the supplier relationship.

Supplier Self-Service

Give suppliers a clear, intuitive place to review requests, submit updates, and maintain their business information.

Structured Data Collection

Standardize the information and supporting documents collected across suppliers, categories, regions, or programs.

AI-Assisted Validation

Identify missing fields, inconsistent responses, and potential data-quality issues before review is complete.

Automated Outreach

Coordinate invitations, reminders, and follow-up communications through a consistent campaign process.

Renewals and Expirations

Track time-sensitive information and request updated documents before important records become outdated.

Visibility and Reporting

Monitor participation, completion, exceptions, and outstanding actions across the supplier population.

How It Works

From request to verified supplier record

A repeatable workflow makes supplier data easier to manage for both buyers and suppliers.

1

Configure

Define the information, documents, and supplier groups included in the request.

2

Engage

Invite suppliers through a branded, guided experience with clear requirements.

3

Validate

Use rules and AI assistance to identify incomplete, inconsistent, or questionable submissions.

4

Manage

Review status, resolve exceptions, export approved information, and schedule future updates.

How It Works

From profile to opportunity.

A simple network flow designed to create relevant, direct buyer-supplier engagement.

1

Create a profile

Suppliers create and maintain a Supplyr PortableProfile by SDS with structured company, capability, and coverage information.

2

Search or publish
Buyers search the network or publish an opportunity describing the products, services, locations, and requirements needed.

3

Identify matches
Structured profile data helps surface suppliers whose capabilities align with buyer requirements.

4

Connect directly
Buyers and suppliers establish direct contact and continue the sourcing process using the buyer’s preferred workflow.

ERP Agnostic by Design

SDS operates independently of the ERP or procurement products your organization uses.

  • Preserve system choice
  • Avoid vendor lock-in
  • Support mixed technology environments
  • Maintain flexibility during system changes

Supplier-First Experience

Workflows are designed to make participation clearer and easier for suppliers.

  • Consistent supplier interaction
  • Clear request status
  • Reduced duplicate communication
  • Improved response and completion rates
AI

AI-Assisted Data Quality

Practical AI helps identify issues at the point of collection rather than after problems move downstream.

  • Completeness checks
  • Inconsistency detection
  • Document classification
  • Submission guidance

Operational Efficiency

Centralized workflows reduce administrative effort and improve visibility across supplier programs.

  • Automated reminders
  • Standardized requests
  • Central status tracking
  • Documented activity history

Technology Should Fit the Business

Organizations should not have to redesign their entire technology environment to improve supplier engagement.

Suppliers Are Users Too

Better supplier experiences lead to better participation, stronger relationships, and more reliable information.

Simple Creates Scale

Clear workflows and repeatable processes make it easier to manage hundreds or hundreds of thousands of suppliers.

Data Quality Starts at Collection

The best time to identify incomplete or inconsistent information is before it enters downstream business processes.

Start building with SDS.

Tell us what you are building, which SDS capabilities you need, and how your application will use supplier information or workflow events.

Approved requests can receive sandbox credentials, example data, technical documentation, and implementation support.

This draft form uses the visitor’s default email application. Replace the mailto action with your production developer-access workflow before launch.

Pricing that scales with supplier participation and information needs.

Buyers pay an implementation fee, an annual program fee based on supplier volume, and annual fees for the information modules they enable. Suppliers pay only for the modules they choose to maintain, with Supplier Contacts always included at no charge.

Different users. Consistent protection principles.

SDS is designed to protect information submitted by both buyers and suppliers while maintaining appropriate ownership, access, and sharing controls.

Controlled program and user access.

Buyer organizations should be able to manage who can administer programs, review supplier information, access reports, and configure modules.

Controlled program and user access.

Suppliers should understand what information they maintain, who can access it, and how it is used across participating buyer relationships.

Company announcements and product developments.

Draft announcement cards are included below and should be replaced with approved press releases, publication dates, and final links before launch.

Structured access to supplier workflows.

The SDS API model is intended to support supplier profiles, information requests, submissions, documents, sourcing opportunities, and workflow statuses.

SDS remains ERP agnostic. Developers can use APIs to exchange information with their own systems, but SDS does not require or assume a direct ERP implementation.
