Graphite Connect provides a single, streamlined process for requesting and onboarding suppliers across the University of Rochester and its affiliates.
Graphite Connect simplifies and improves the supplier request experience by:
- Providing one solution to request and onboard suppliers. There will be no need to determine whether it’s a PO or non-PO supplier.
- Eliminating the need to choose between different request methods (Supplier Add Request Form vs. Create Supplier Request).
- Offering real-time visibility into the status of a request, including where it is in the approval process and whether the supplier has submitted their registration.
- Simplifying the process for suppliers by allowing those already in the Graphite network to submit only the UR-specific information required.
