Supplier Onboarding Process

To setup new Warehouses/Suppliers, begin by providing the list to Logicbroker. A list of onboarding partners will be provided in our project management solution.

 The following information will be required:

  • Partner (Company Name)
  • Contact Name
  • Email (Contact's Email)

Additionally, any account numbers (Vendor Duns) or telephone numbers will be helpful.

Onboarding for each partner will be managed as their own task and as the accounts are connected the Project Phase will be updated. These statuses include:

Status Description

 Note:

This is just a starting template and a custom program to managing your supplier outreach can be altered to fit your business requirements.

Logicbroker must maintain and manage the connectivity of all suppliers. This is to ensure that if they have an existing integration with Logicbroker they are easily and quickly connected.

Supplier Outreach

When contacting suppliers, all contacts are entered in a communication workflow system and tracked with status updates under their task. These are tracked by tags which are automatically updated based on the status.

Tag Description

SendEmail

FollowUpComplete

Logicbroker has an automated follow-up system, that will automatically remind users to finish their implementation process. This can be scheduled at any time after a user is initially contacted.

LandingPageClicked

Based on your process, the communication workflow can be customized for full automation or include a more hands on approach. All emails, landing page, knowledge base and survey content can be customized as well and will be reviewed before the onboarding plan is put into place. Samples of the standard communications and overview are shown below.
