Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike static Request For documents (RFx), a supplier profile is a living digital record of your business that can be continuously updated. It gathers data to help potential customers understand your approach, differentiators, and details of the products or services that you offer. Your supplier profile covers important information to help companies choose the best fit for their specific needs. In Graphite Connect, your profile can be regularly updated and lives in a central database that prospects can access for future procurement projects that are related to your offerings. 

Supplier profiles empower procurement experts to be even more efficient and strategic. Not only does a profile improve your visibility to potential customers, it allows you to manage and update your own information so it’s always accurate, saving you hours of manual paperwork. When you create a profile in Graphite, you have the potential to be discovered by thousands of businesses searching for exactly your products or services.
