Supply Chain Management
We are pleased to announce the launch of Supply Chain Management (SCM), a redesigned and enhanced experience for managing supplier relationships within Compliance Chain.
The new SCM solution replaces the existing Suppliers area and introduces four key sections: My Dashboard, Search Suppliers, My Supply Chain, and My Groups. Together, these provide clearer insights, improved navigation, and more powerful tools to support effective supply chain management.
My Dashboard
The new My Dashboard provides a complete overview of your supply chain in a single view. It offers improved visibility across key metrics and supports better decision-making through visual insights.
Key features include:
- Overview of total suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, verified, expiring, and expired suppliers.
- An interactive map showing supplier locations across your supply chain.
- A visual breakdown of verified versus invited suppliers.
- A “Top Performing Suppliers” list to help identify key partners quickly.
This redesigned dashboard gives users instant access to the data that matters most, helping maintain compliance and build stronger supplier networks.
Search Suppliers
The Search Suppliers section has been fully rebuilt to make supplier discovery faster, more flexible, and more informative.
Key enhancements include:
- Three viewing modes: list, card, and map, allowing users to browse suppliers in the format they prefer.
- New filters for region, company category, membership level, compliance status, and turnover range, enabling more targeted searches.
- The ability to add suppliers directly to your supply chain with a single click.
- Clear visibility of each supplier’s membership level and compliance status, including Gold Members assessed against the Common Assessment Standard.
- A modernised interface with improved performance and responsiveness.
Suppliers previously approved under the former system automatically appear in your new My Supply Chain tab, ensuring continuity and a smooth transition.
My Supply Chain
The My Supply Chain section has been redesigned to provide clearer data, greater flexibility, and more intuitive management tools.
Key enhancements include:
- New list, card, and map views for tailored supplier management.
- The ability to mark and filter Preferred Suppliers, giving quicker access to trusted partners.
- Visibility of Invited Suppliers, showing those who have been invited to join the platform.
- Retention of existing functionality such as supplier ratings, project activity, and performance details, now presented in a refreshed, streamlined layout.
This update combines familiar insights with new features designed to make supplier management more efficient and effective.
My Groups
My Groups is an entirely new section within SCM, allowing users to organise and manage their supply chain in a structured way.
Key features include:
- Create and manage custom supplier groups based on discipline, region, or any other criteria.
- Quick Add functionality to instantly add suppliers from your existing supply chain.
- Quick View sidebar for instant visibility into group details without leaving the page.
- Display of creation and edit dates to provide a clear audit trail for transparency and traceability.
With My Groups, users can categorise suppliers to suit their workflows, improving organisation and oversight across large or complex supply chains.
New Company Categories
We have introduced a completely new Company Categories structure to make supplier discovery and filtering more accurate and relevant.
What’s new:
- Buyers can now filter suppliers by specific, updated business categories within Search Suppliers and My Supply Chain.
- The new structure provides a more consistent, industry-aligned approach to categorisation, improving search precision and reporting.
- When suppliers register, they will be prompted to select the categories that best describe their business.
- Existing suppliers will be guided to review and update their categories the next time they access the platform.
These updates ensure that supplier information is more relevant, detailed, and aligned with buyer requirements.
What Changes for Users
For Buyers:
Buyers now have access to the new Supply Chain Management module, which includes all four sections: My Dashboard, Search Suppliers, My Supply Chain, and My Groups.
For Suppliers:
Suppliers will now see a new Supply Chain Management tab in their left-hand menu, providing access only to Search Suppliers.
Projects Portal
We’ve introduced a series of enhancements to the Projects Portal, giving suppliers greater flexibility, improved filtering options, and a smoother browsing experience when exploring available projects.
These updates are designed to make it easier for users to find and manage projects that best match their business needs.
Enhanced Viewing Options
The Projects Portal now offers multiple ways to view projects, allowing users to choose the layout that best suits their preferences.
Key features include:
- List, card, and map views, providing more flexibility in how projects are displayed.
- The new map view offers a visual overview of project locations, making it easier to identify opportunities by area.
These updates create a more dynamic and user-friendly way to explore active projects.
Smart Filtering
We have introduced smart filtering to make navigation more seamless. Users can now open and close project details without losing their selected filters.
This improvement responds directly to user feedback and ensures a more consistent and efficient experience when browsing multiple projects.
Advanced Filter Controls
New filter options have been added to give users a more tailored and precise search experience.
Enhancements include:
- Minimum and maximum project value filters, allowing users to define a specific project value range.
- A Distance in miles filter, which enables users to search for projects within a chosen radius from a specified postcode.
