Application workflow
Onboarding starts with account signup and continues inside the dashboard. Marketplace access does not begin at signup — the application enters review first, then activation, then dashboard enablement.
- Create an account through the supplier signup path.
- Submit the supplier application from inside the dashboard.
- Complete onboarding review with admin reviewers.
- Confirm activation and dashboard access before marketplace participation.
Company information
Reviewers look for a complete, consistent company profile. Anything that supports operational legitimacy — operating history, authorized contact, and business registration signals — strengthens the application.
- Company name, address, and operating history.
- Authorized point of contact and decision-maker identification.
- Business registration signals appropriate to the operating region.
- Public-facing materials that align with the application content.
Catalog and product information
Catalog and product information should match the COA and documentation that will appear in the supplier record. Inconsistent naming or missing fields slow review and confuse buyer comparison later.
- SKU naming aligned with COA references.
- Category and use-case framing kept B2B-oriented.
- Operational context — MOQ ranges, lead time guidance, fulfillment regions.
- No retail-style marketing language or consumer-targeted claims.
COA, SDS, and supporting documentation
Documentation readiness is a core part of supplier review. Submitting organized COA, SDS, and supporting documentation up front shortens onboarding and improves buyer trust during bid comparison.
- COA per SKU with traceable batch identifiers.
- SDS or technical documentation aligned with the catalog.
- Invoice and packing-list templates that match operational practice.
- Documentation labeled consistently for buyer review.
Onboarding review and activation
Admin reviewers evaluate documentation completeness, profile clarity, and operational signals. Activation follows successful review. Marketplace bidding becomes available after dashboard activation — not at account creation.
- Documentation review for completeness and consistency.
- Profile review for operational signals and authorized contacts.
- Activation payment confirmation before marketplace enablement.
- Dashboard activation grants access to open buyer sourcing requests.
Accessing buyer demand after approval
After dashboard activation, suppliers can review open buyer sourcing requests, submit bids with documentation context, and update production, shipment, and payment milestones on awarded orders.
- Review open sourcing requests that match access level.
- Submit bids with price, lead time, and documentation context.
- Coordinate orders and update production / shipment milestones.
- Maintain documentation and profile so buyer review stays current.
