Vendor Onboarding Automation: From Form to ERP Supplier

Vendor onboarding automation collects supplier information, documents and agreements through a guided process and creates the supplier in your ERP once everything is approved. It shortens onboarding from weeks to days and reduces payment errors caused by incorrect vendor data.

The vendor onboarding process

  1. Procurement invites the vendor and sends a secure onboarding form.
  2. The vendor submits company details, banking information and tax documents.
  3. Documents are checked, and data can be extracted from uploaded files with AI.
  4. A supplier agreement is generated and signed.
  5. Finance and compliance approve the vendor.
  6. The supplier is created in NetSuite, SAP or Priority, and the requester is notified.

Controls to build in

  • Separate approval for banking details to reduce fraud risk.
  • Required documents depending on country and spend category.
  • Automatic reminders for missing information.
  • A complete audit trail of who approved the vendor.
