My Praxie analytics software transformed our operations, enabling data-driven decisions and streamlining our manufacturing process.
The supplier was approved in principle in March. They still cannot ship.
Replace onboarding checklists and document chasing with AI that collects, validates and tracks everything a new supplier needs — so approval to first delivery stops taking a quarter.

Nothing is blocked. Everything is waiting.
Selecting the supplier was the easy part. Getting them qualified, documented and shipping is the job.
“I needed that second source two months ago.”
“We sent that certificate. Twice.”
A checklist, an inbox of PDFs, and no single view of what is outstanding.
You do not need a shorter checklist. You need onboarding to chase itself — and show exactly what is outstanding.
If you onboard suppliers
Is this your onboarding?
Most procurement and supplier quality teams recognise at least four of these. If you recognise six, the rest of this page is written for you.
- Documents are chased by email and sent more than once.
- Nobody has a single view of what is still outstanding.
- Certificates expire without anyone noticing.
- The same supplier is onboarded separately by two sites.
- Qualification steps run sequentially when they could run in parallel.
- Approval in principle and ability to ship are months apart.
- Risk assessment is a form completed once at the start.
- “What is holding that supplier up?” takes a day to answer.
None of this is a diligence problem. It is a coordination problem.
Is this you?
Worked example — multi-site procurement organisationOnboarding used to be a sequence of waits.
Months↓Weeksfrom approval to first delivery
Dozens of new suppliers a year, each needing documents, qualification and system setup, coordinated by email.
Because each step waited for a person to notice the previous one had finished, most of the elapsed time was not work — it was waiting, and nobody had a single view of what was outstanding.
With AI collecting and validating documents, running qualification steps in parallel and chasing what is missing, onboarding time collapses toward the work it actually contains and expiries stop going unnoticed.

Questions Procurement Leaders Ask Us First
The objections we hear in the first 20 minutes — answered plainly.
1
How does AI improve supplier onboarding — and can we still control the process?
Answer: The AI accelerates onboarding by guiding suppliers through required forms, certifications, documents, approvals, and compliance steps. Teams stay in control with clear workflows, human review points, and visibility into what is complete, missing, or at risk.
2
How much manual follow-up and administrative work can this reduce?
Answer: A lot. The system can automate reminders, document collection, status updates, approval routing, and supplier communications, reducing the time procurement and quality teams spend chasing information across email, spreadsheets, and shared folders.
3
Can AI help us identify supplier risk before it becomes a problem?
Answer: Yes. AI can monitor onboarding gaps, expired certifications, late responses, delivery trends, quality issues, audit findings, and performance changes to flag supplier risks earlier and recommend where teams should focus attention.
4
How does this improve ongoing supplier performance management?
Answer: AI-powered performance management brings supplier KPIs into one place, including on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness, cost, compliance, and corrective actions. The system highlights trends, explains performance changes, and helps teams prioritize improvement actions.
5
Is this better than supplier spreadsheets, portals, or ERP reports?
Answer: Yes. Traditional tools often capture information but do not actively interpret it. AI-powered supplier management keeps data live, connects onboarding with performance, surfaces risks automatically, and helps teams act faster across procurement, quality, and operations.
Bottom line: AI-powered supplier onboarding and performance management helps teams onboard suppliers faster, reduce administrative work, detect risk earlier, and continuously improve supplier performance without losing control.
