Inviting a Supplier to Register

There are multiple ways to invite or direct suppliers to register in SupplierGateway, depending on whether they are new prospects or existing suppliers already in your portal.

1. Directing Prospective Suppliers to register

For new or prospective suppliers who have not yet been added to your system, direct them to your SupplierGateway portal URL (for example: COMPANYNAME.suppliergateway.com).

From the portal login page, suppliers can begin the registration process directly. This method ensures the supplier is properly captured in the Potential Supplier Report within the Supplier Management menu, allowing visibility into their provided company information and support supplier discovery.

2. Invite Individual Existing Suppliers (Single Outreach)

For suppliers who have already been uploaded into your portal via Data Enrichment or another method, you can send a direct registration request individually.

To do this:

• Navigate to Supplier Management > Supplier Status
• Search for the supplier by Company Name or Supplier Number
• Select the envelope icon associated with the supplier record

An email will be sent to the primary contact associated with the company directing them to complete a registration. This method is best for targeted outreach to a single supplier or small number of suppliers.

3. Invite Multiple Current Suppliers (Bulk Outreach)

For sending registration requests to multiple suppliers at once, use the Campaign Console to trigger an email to be sent to each current supplier with an email present as the primary contact. 

This tool allows you to:

• Target current suppliers who are registered in the SG network to request an update OR to current suppliers who are not registered. 
• Send a standardized registration invitation in bulk
• Efficiently manage outreach campaigns across multiple supplier records

Summary

• Prospective suppliers: Direct them to your portal URL to register independently
• Single existing suppliers: Use Supplier Management > Supplier Status and the envelope icon to send individual invitations
• Multiple existing suppliers: Use the Campaign Console for bulk outreach

Each method ensures suppliers are correctly guided through registration based on their status in your system.

Current suppliers must register using the email invitation they receive to be recognized as existing suppliers. If they register directly through your company portal URL instead, they will be treated as potential suppliers, and their profiles will need to be merged afterward.
