Integrations

Supplier ID

We’re excited to announce that external supplier IDs can now be seamlessly transferred through our APIs during both intake and export processes. This enhancement allows for the integration of custom supplier IDs, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the entire sourcing lifecycle.

With this enhancement, you’ll receive instant updates whenever new data becomes available, streamlining your workflow and ensuring timely information delivery
