ONBOARD PARTNERS FASTER
Set up onboarding portals to automate integrations and activate data flows, without your IT team doing any manual back-and-forth. Even for low-tech suppliers and customers.
20+ years of experience supporting 2,000+ companies in retail, manufacturing, and logistics
Build a standard onboarding flow that automates connection setup and validation, even for complex data or low-tech organisations.
Trading Partner Manager helps you fully automate partner onboarding, from sending out invites to going live. Across as many partners as you need.
GUIDED ONBOARDING
Let partners connect to your systems without involving your IT team. Create a branded email template, define what information and certificates you need, and invite partners individually or in bulk.
ONBOARDING MANAGEMENT
Never hunt down updates across emails or add manual status changes into tracking spreadsheets. Instead, see up-to-date onboarding progress and completion status for new partners in a single dashboard.
GUIDED INTEGRATION VALIDATION
Let partners run tests without your IT team. As a part of the onboarding, they’ll get both a list of errors and instructions on how to fix them, so they can continue working on the issues until they are fully resolved.
Build templated online portals to automate data exchange with partners that send in PDFs or spreadsheets.
Have your team members check inputs, not type them in. Set up custom partner web portals with business logic to flag data errors and import data based on your requirements.
