Shipwell’s Supplier Collaboration Portal (aka Supplier Portal) provides a platform for Shipwell customers to collaborate with their suppliers on inbound freight. The Supplier Portal helps customers and their suppliers save time and increase effectiveness of their inbound freight.

Important aspects of the Supplier Portal include:

  • Creating and managing suppliers and their supplier contacts for the Supplier Portal

  • Creating purchase orders within Shipwell

  • Identifying when all or partial orders are ready to be shipped and ensuring necessary transportation information and documentation (e.g., packing slip) are provided

  • Provide customers and suppliers key order-related emails and notifications

  • Providing customers and suppliers visibility into orders as they are being shipped

  • Providing suppliers the ability to identify mixed handling units

  • Providing suppliers the ability to create shipments

Supplier Portal is a place for flexible engagement and collaboration between customers and suppliers, and Shipwell will continue to iterate Supplier Portal to drive to this vision.

The Supplier Collaboration Portal is a separate but integrated offering within Shipwell. If interested in learning more about the Supplier Collaboration Portal, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
