The suppliers' section captures every supplier every company in your organisation is currently working with:
To add a new suppliers, admins are first encouraged to search through the extensive number of existing suppliers in the Vizibl network:
Matching results will be displayed for selection inside the modal. If you can not find the supplier you're looking for you can always add a new supplier from scratch:
In the final step, you just need to configure which segment and category fit best the supplier.
You can also choose to create at the same time a relationship between the current company you're administrating and the newly added supplier. This will allow you to create projects, track performance, assign relationship managers and much more.
Or you can choose to simply add the supplier without creating a relationship, making it available for selection for other companies in your organisation who wish to create a relationship with the supplier.
Your new supplier is now configured! Please keep in mind that suppliers are represented on an organisational level and capture all suppliers all companies in your organisation are working with. For this reason, it's worth being careful and double-checking that no other company in your organisation has a relationship with the supplier should you ever need to delete a supplier.
As a customer admin, you are able to manage the organisational structure of the supplier to represent how you are working with them. Please keep in mind that this is only your representation of the company. If the supplier happens to be a large company operating its own supplier network in Vizibl with its own administrators then their own organisational tree will be unaffected by these changes:
In the manage supplier view, you can also add any supplier user you wish to work with and invite them to join Vizibl. In addition, you can view all the relationships the supplier has with companies in your organisation as well as create new ones!
