Designed like the apps your suppliers use every day

Secure access for every supplier

Security controls that protect your data without making the portal harder to use.

SSO + multi-factor auth

Sign in with your existing identity provider and add multi-factor protection. Trusted devices are remembered, so day-to-day sign-in stays quick.

Safe document handling

Drag-and-drop documents with automatic virus scanning and inline preview, so suppliers can review tech packs, lab dips and POs without downloading the files.

Full audit trail

Every change is captured automatically: who edited what, when, and from where. Both sides get a clear record of each order's history.

Styles your suppliers are producing

Every order ties back to a real style, colourway and spec that both sides can see. Click a style to open the PO.
