SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reduces manual, error-prone supplier intake by automating duplicate checks, certification validation, risk screening, approvals routing, and activation tracking so procurement teams can onboard suppliers reliably and quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Duplicate checking & deduplication: Query supplier_search and load_relationship to prevent duplicate profiles and determine active vs. inactive relationships.
  • Compliance & risk verification: Verify claimed certifications (MBE, WBE, DBE) and perform financial and sanctions risk screening before activation.
  • Approval, provisioning & activation tracking: Route for procurement/legal/finance approvals, execute contract and system provisioning, set performance baselines, log completion, and schedule 30/90-day follow-ups.
  • Use Case: A procurement specialist receives a supplier submission and runs the onboarding sequence to validate identity, obtain approvals, provision vendor master data, and schedule performance reviews.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate supplier onboarding and duplicate checking during procurement intake?

Supplier onboarding automation handles duplicate checking by querying existing profiles and relationship states to prevent redundant vendor entries. It validates active versus inactive relationships before proceeding with certification verification and risk screening.

What is the best way to verify supplier certifications and perform risk screening before activation?

Supplier certification verification validates claimed credentials like MBE, WBE, and DBE, while risk screening checks financial and sanctions risks before activation. This compliance process ensures only verified vendors proceed to procurement approvals and system provisioning.

How do I route vendor onboarding approvals and track provisioning status?

Vendor onboarding approval routing directs submissions to procurement, legal, and finance stakeholders for review. Activation tracking then executes contract and system provisioning, logs completion, and schedules 30 or 90-day performance follow-ups.

Can I use supplier onboarding workflows for RFP responses and new vendor submissions?

Supplier onboarding workflows apply to procurement intake, RFP responses, and new vendor submissions to validate profiles and provision systems. The process integrates supplier search and relationship loading to determine existing vendor status.

Do I need MCP tools to run the vendor onboarding process?

The vendor onboarding process integrates with Stimulus MCP tools including supplier_search, load_relationship, supplier_performance, and log_interaction. These tools perform supplier searches, load relationship state, set baselines, and record onboarding events.

Why does supplier onboarding require setting performance baselines and scheduling follow-ups?

Supplier onboarding sets performance baselines and schedules 30 or 90-day follow-ups to monitor new vendor relationships after activation. This tracking ensures procurement teams can evaluate supplier performance against initial benchmarks logged during onboarding.
