There are two ways of adding new suppliers to the supplier list. 

• Manually - Covered below
• Import - Read more in this article.

Adding suppliers manually from the Supplier Overview is recommended for a small number of suppliers. For larger numbers, importing is faster.

Adding suppliers manually

Go to the Suppliers page and click “+ Add Supplier”.

+ Add Supplier on the Suppliers page

This opens the Add supplier modal. Use the search to browse company information in the Supplier Catalogue from Position Green’s data provider. The provider has 345 million global companies available in their database.

In case of no result from the database, manually add the supplier details.

Search in the Add supplier modal

Next, enter the respondent details. The respondent is the primary contact person at the supplier and is responsible for responding to the survey sent from Position Green.

Respondent details

If needed, create a fictitious respondent as a temporary placeholder, e.g. First name: "Temporary", Last name: "Account", Email: nn@company-domain.com
