Supplier Onboarding

What you can do with Rapid Supplier Onboarding

Every day a supplier isn’t live is lost revenue and extra overhead for your team.

Rapid Supplier Onboarding streamlines the entire path from invite to first order with self-serve workflows, flexible connection options (Shopify, EDI, API, Portal), clear, test-first go-live criteria, and always-on support via AI—the result: faster assortment expansion, fewer manual follow-ups, and lower risk at launch.

Invite-based onboarding initiation​

Kickstart onboarding in a click. Your merchant user enters a supplier’s basic info (name, email), triggering a branded email invite. The supplier creates their account and lands in a guided, automated, task-based workflow that walks them through each requirement—no custom hand-holding required.

Configurable onboarding workflows

Every program has unique steps. Model yours with tailored workflows that capture merchant-specific details (policies, SLAs, shipping methods), required documents (tax, W‑9, agreements), and connection choices (Portal, EDI, API, Shopify).

Onboarding tracking & visibility

See progress at a glance in the merchant dashboard. Track which suppliers are invited, in progress, testing, or go‑live ready. Drill into blockers and let the platform handle status notifications.

Automated supplier reminders

Keep momentum without chasing. Automated email notifications remind suppliers to complete tasks, submit documents, or finish tests, so your team spends less time following up and more time launching.

Supplier Shopify onboarding workflow

Make Shopify suppliers feel right at home. A purpose-built workflow guides them to install the Logicbroker app, import and sync products, activate webhooks, and configure channel-specific settings, so products and inventory flow correctly from day one.

Self-serve EDI onboarding

For suppliers connecting via EDI, give them a self-serve testing framework to launch and validate transactions without waiting on tickets. Suppliers can stand up connections, run test cases (PO/ACK/ASN/Invoice), and promote to production once everything passes – support is available if they need it, but not required.

AI Portal Helper (24/7, knowledge‑base powered)

Give suppliers instant answers to onboarding and portal‑usage questions—anytime. The AI Portal Helper draws from Logicbroker’s detailed knowledge base and help center to resolve common issues without waiting for business hours, reducing support volume and keeping onboarding unblocked.
