How a client–supplier connection works
Pending invites
Go to Network.
- Pending invites: clients who have invited you to their portal.
- Part of portal: clients you are already connected with.
- View Invite: open an invitation (see below).
- Invite company: invite a client that isn’t on the platform yet, or ask one that is to connect with you.
Accept an invitation
- Read this first: if you join a client’s portal, that client can see all your data on Supplier Connect.
- NDA: the invitation may include an NDA, either the Supplier Connect standard NDA or the client’s own. Click the file to read it.
- Decline invitation: refuse the invitation. This can’t be undone.
- Review & Sign NDA: read the NDA, optionally Download NDA, then click Sign & Accept.
Signing uses your organization’s Legal Representative name. If it is missing, you are asked to add it under Organization first.
