Departments will no longer have to manage the supplier invite process. Instead, users will use one form to request domestic entity, individual, foreign, and students through the BuyWays Supplier Request Form.
UPST will then handle the process of inviting, proxying, and updating supplier records.
- Improve campus/supplier experience
- Reduce end-to-end supplier request processing cycle time
- Streamline supplier process by putting UPST immediately after submission to drive end-to-end process
- One intake form for supplier requests irrespective of supplier type (domestic entity, individual, foreign suppliers, employees, and students)
- Reduce errors, duplicates and invitation volume
- Increase visibility on supplier onboarding and usage - supplier dashboard
