The Supplier Portal is a centralized platform that enables suppliers to seamlessly collaborate with distributors for product onboarding and catalog management. Once a supplier is set up and enabled by a distributor, they receive access to the portal along with product category templates (e.g., chairs, tables, apparel) tailored to the distributor’s requirements.
Through the portal, suppliers can easily upload, manage, and syndicate their product data using flexible methods such as uploading Excel templates, manual data entry via an Excel-like interface, or submitting custom product files. The system validates product information, highlights errors for correction, and ensures data readiness before publishing to the distributor.
Beyond data upload, the Supplier Portal provides tools for monitoring syndications, attaching digital assets, tracking SKU statuses through their lifecycle (from raw data to onboarded in the distributor’s PIM system), and accessing quick links for help and support. With built-in automation, validation, and transparency, the portal accelerates product onboarding, reduces manual effort, and ensures high-quality product data flows into the distributor’s catalog.
Prerequisite: The supplier needs to be set up and enabled by the distributor for the supplier to login to the PCC’s Supplier Portal. Once the supplier is created by the distributor they get an email for the supplier portal link and the templates for which the supplier is enabled for example, Chairs, Tables, t-shirts etc.
