# Supplier Management

Manage your supplier directory and run vendors through accreditation before you work with them.

Supplier Management is your vendor directory plus the accreditation workflow that vets who joins it. Here you add suppliers and their contacts, record blacklist periods against non-compliant vendors, and put suppliers through a custom accreditation questionnaire before you rely on them. These tasks are handled by buyers and admins.

Start by adding a supplier and its contacts so the vendor can be invited to RFQs, purchase orders, and accreditation cycles. When you need to vet a supplier, build an accreditation template, invite the supplier to complete it through a magic link, then have the assigned approver review the submission and record a decision.
