Supplier operations
Custom vendor portal software on governed supplier data
Give suppliers approved views of orders, delivery status, and scorecards while internal teams work from the same records. Permute reconciles purchasing, operating, and finance data behind a custom vendor portal.

Each vendor sees only its approved orders and measures.
The working view
Make supplier conversations specific
Buyers and vendors share a view of open orders, receipts, exceptions, and agreed performance measures. Each status and scorecard figure links to its source record (and the rule used to calculate it) for review.

What makes it work
Supplier identity across systems
Permute resolves duplicate supplier names and IDs across purchasing, delivery, and payment records.
Shared scorecard definitions
On-time delivery and fill rate use shared periods, denominators, and exception rules.
Access for the right vendor
Permute handles sign-in and portal access. The portal enforces each vendor’s approved data permissions.
How it works
From supplier records to a shared portal
- 01
Connect supplier records
Bring purchase orders, receipts, invoices, and supplier identities into one governed model.
- 02
Resolve discrepancies
Mismatched quantities, dates, and supplier identities appear in an internal exception queue.
- 03
Share the approved view
Publish status and scorecards through a permissioned portal or dashboard.
Why build on Permute
Build on a foundation each new tool can reuse.
Permute connects systems, reconciles records, and keeps business definitions and source evidence in one place. Each application reuses that foundation (including its data access rules) instead of rebuilding the same integrations and logic.
Build with your own team through Permute Factory's API and SDK, or work with our engineers to build and maintain the application. Permute-hosted apps use Permute sign-in and app access checks. Each app checks which business data a person may see before returning it.
Built for this workflow
A shared view of supplier performance
Give each supplier a clear view of its orders, delivery status, and agreed measures. Buyers work from the same reconciled records and can resolve disputed quantities or dates with source evidence.
Questions teams ask
Can vendors see only their own orders?
Yes. Permute controls who can enter the portal. The portal enforces which vendor’s orders each person can see.
Can the portal use our procurement data?
Yes. Permute connects purchase orders, receipts, and finance records so vendors and buyers see a consistent status.
How can we start with vendor reporting?
Start with an internal scorecard or exception view, then share approved performance data with vendors.
