One network. Information that moves with the relationship.

The SDS Supplier Information Xchange™ connects companies through reusable SDS Portable Profiles™—so supplier information can be maintained at the source, securely shared across authorized relationships, and reused without starting over in every portal.
The network starts with a company.
Any participating company can create the next connection.

Supplier information should not have to be rebuilt for every buyer.

SDS creates a reusable information layer between companies, allowing supplier information to stay connected to the organization that maintains it while supporting multiple authorized business relationships.
Maintain at the Source
Companies maintain reusable information through their SDS Portable Profile instead of recreating disconnected copies.
Share Across Relationships
Suppliers can share their own Portable Profile with unlimited authorized customers and prospects.
Control Access
Portable does not mean public. Information access follows permissions and the applicable business relationship.
Work Across Systems
The Xchange is ERP agnostic and designed to complement existing procurement and enterprise technology.

Create. Share. Join. Connect. Repeat.

Network growth can begin with a buyer, a supplier, or a company that participates as both.

Create

A company creates its free SDS Portable Profile.

Share

It shares its profile with a customer or prospect.

Join

The recipient creates a free SDS company profile if needed.

Connect

The companies establish an SDS network relationship.

Repeat

The new participant can share and invite companies of its own.

Two different actions. One growing network.

SDS separates profile distribution from proactive network invitations so companies can share their own information freely while still having a clear invitation allowance.

Sharing is unlimited

Send your own SDS Portable Profile to as many customers, prospects, and partners as you choose.

Sharing does not use an invitation

Profile shares and network invitations are tracked separately.

Your first 25 invitations are free

Invite customers, suppliers, or other business partners to join and connect through SDS.

The network does not have to start with the buyer.

SDS supports network growth in either direction, which removes a major barrier to supplier participation and buyer adoption.

Supplier → Buyer

A supplier creates its Portable Profile, shares it with customers, and gives those companies a reason to join SDS.

Buyer → Supplier

A buyer invites suppliers into SDS and builds a structured, connected supplier information population.

Company ↔ Company

A company that both buys and sells can participate in both roles using one company identity and profile.

Your profile can travel farther than one customer relationship.

The SDS Portable Profile turns supplier information into a reusable business asset rather than another one-time portal submission.

For Buyers
Start experiencing the Xchange before committing to a larger supplier population.

Up to 25 unique supplier profiles
Access supplier profiles through your free buyer participation.

90-day free access period
Explore SDS workflows and connected supplier information.

Upgrade when the network grows
A paid buyer package is required after the free period or when accessing an 11th unique supplier profile.

Every activated company can create the next connection.

SDS is designed so participation creates opportunities for additional network growth rather than ending with a single buyer-supplier relationship.
