The Suppliers tab is where you manage your organization's supplier network. From here you can add new suppliers, edit contact information, organize vendors into groups, and track onboarding status.
Step-by-step guide: Managing and Editing Suppliers
Supplier groups let you organize vendors into custom categories for faster targeting during RFQ creation.
Create groups that reflect how you categorize your supply base. Examples:
When creating an RFQ, you can select one or more supplier groups to target. If you select multiple groups, Axya applies AND logic -- only suppliers that belong to all selected groups are included. This lets you narrow your targeting precisely (for example, selecting "Metal Fabricators" AND "Local Suppliers" returns only local metal fabricators).
Each supplier has a vendor code field that you can use for ERP mapping. Enter the vendor code that corresponds to this supplier in your ERP system so that exported data aligns with your internal records.
Axya provides a self-service onboarding flow for new suppliers. From the Suppliers tab you can send onboarding invitations, track onboarding progress, resend invitations, and manage the entire process directly in the platform without needing to coordinate outside of Axya.
