IQX Business Solutions, a leading provider of CapEx Management solutions for SAP, is proud to announce the launch of its latest software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, Supplier Online. Two of the most important decisions an organization makes are what to invest in and whom to invest with. A great capital investment is only as strong as the supplier delivering it—choosing the right partner ensures value, reliability, and long-term success.

Supplier Online is designed to address the challenges faced by procurement teams to onboarding critical suppliers efficiently with due diligence without duplicating data and retaining SAP as the central source of truth for supplier data.

“Business teams struggle with inefficiencies and speed of the vendor onboarding process. Very often we still get documents via email to complete” – Richard Frykberg, CEO of IQX Business Solutions.

A survey of IQX’s clients revealed that while SAP provides a strong foundation for vendor management, its standard onboarding functionality falls short of modern procurement demands. This forces teams to rely on manual processes that lead to errors, bottlenecks, and increased compliance risk.

Supplier Online solves this by streamlining the onboarding process to include supplier self-entry of data, risk assessments and mandated certificates. Evaluation and verification are executed within the buyers branded online portal while Vendor Master Data creation and change are elegantly handled within SAP by the IQX Fiori Integration Suite providing a true end to end ready to run solution.

Whether used as a stand-alone solution or integrated with SAP, Supplier Online provides organizations with a powerful, simple to use supplier management solution that transforms supplier onboarding and ongoing management, reducing risk and workload.
