HOW IT WORKS
Maintain once. Respond with confidence.
The Portable Profile creates a consistent foundation while allowing each buyer relationship to retain its own requirements and permissions.
Create your profile
Add company details, contacts, and the information relevant to your business.
Keep it current
Update information and supporting documents as your organization changes.
Respond to buyers
Use maintained information to address authorized buyer requirements more efficiently.
Track what needs attention
See profile status, outstanding requirements, and information that may need updating.
MODULAR BY DESIGN
A profile that grows with your business.
Company and contact information provides the foundation. Add modules based on buyer requirements and the information your organization wants to maintain.
Certifications
Licenses, certifications, evidence, and renewal information.
Compliance
Policies, declarations, regulatory information, and supporting records.
Payment Information
Structured payment details needed to support buyer processes.
Pricing

Hierarchy

Portable does not mean public.
Your profile is designed for controlled reuse within applicable buyer-supplier relationships. Information is exchanged according to program requirements, platform permissions, and authorized sharing—not published as an unrestricted public directory.
Permission-based sharing
Licenses, certifications, evidence, and renewal information.
Clear status and history
Maintain visibility into profile status, updates, and areas requiring attention.
ERP-agnostic design
SDS complements buyer technology rather than requiring replacement of enterprise systems.
There are multiple ways to qualify for a free profile.
All SDS buyers receive a free supplier profile. Suppliers can also qualify when a referred client becomes an SDS buyer. Program-funded participation may vary by buyer relationship.
Questions suppliers and buyers ask first.
SDS applies privacy considerations across the platform experience, product decisions, operating processes, and relationships with customers, suppliers, and service providers.
Is the Portable Profile publicly searchable?
No. Portable refers to controlled reuse across applicable relationships. Information sharing follows buyer requirements and platform permissions.
Does SDS replace an ERP or procurement platform?
No. SDS is ERP agnostic and is designed to complement existing procurement and enterprise systems.
Who maintains the supplier information?
The supplier maintains its profile and supporting information, while buyers define the requirements applicable to their programs.
Does every buyer see the same information?
No. Each buyer program can have different requirements, and access depends on the applicable buyer-supplier relationship and permissions.
Must every supplier complete all eight modules?
No. Modules depend on buyer requirements, supplier participation, and the information relevant to the relationship.
Can a supplier also participate as a buyer?
Yes. A company can participate as both a supplier and a buyer and receives a free supplier profile when it enrolls as an SDS buyer.
Make every buyer relationship easier to manage.
Build a reusable supplier profile that stays current as your organization and customer requirements evolve.
