What teams see
- Work waits between invite supplier and collect vendor data.
- Owners reconstruct status from Web forms and Cloud storage.
Procurement
Supplier onboarding
Vendor information, documents, risk reviews and system registration are collected through repeated email with unclear completeness.
Business problem
Vendor information, documents, risk reviews and system registration are collected through repeated email with unclear completeness.
Why it happens
- No shared state spans Web forms, Cloud storage, ERP platform.
- Decision and exception rules are applied inconsistently.
Why it becomes expensive
- Capacity is consumed by coordination and rework.
- Late exceptions weaken visibility and service quality.
Business outcomes
- Shorter schedule renewals cycle
- Fewer handoff and missing-information exceptions
- Clear ownership from invite supplier to schedule renewals
- Inspectable decisions and recovery
Measurable KPIs
- Turnaround time: Elapsed time from invite supplier to schedule renewals.
- Manual intervention rate: Share of items needing a person outside defined review conditions.
- Exception age: Time unresolved exceptions remain without a completed action.
- Successful completion rate: Share of valid workflow items completing without terminal failure.
How the workflow works
- Invite supplier — Accept and identify the supplier onboarding trigger. Web forms
- Collect vendor data — Execute collect vendor data with validated sample data and an auditable result. Web forms
- Validate required fields — Execute validate required fields with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
- Collect documents — Execute collect documents with validated sample data and an auditable result. ERP platform
- Run internal reviews — Execute run internal reviews with validated sample data and an auditable result. SEIDO Review Queue
- Resolve exceptions — Execute resolve exceptions with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
- Register supplier — Execute register supplier with validated sample data and an auditable result. ERP platform
- Schedule renewals — Execute schedule renewals with validated sample data and an auditable result. Web forms
- Audit and KPI update — Persist the execution outcome, audit facts and workflow measurement events. SEIDO execution store
Integrations and ownership
- Web forms: Provide workflow input
- Cloud storage: Lookup and update context
- ERP platform: Receive controlled outcome
Human responsibility: Procurement manager
Failure and recovery
Web forms is temporarily unavailable.
Retry with capped exponential backoff; preserve the run and move it to the inspectable failure queue after the limit.
Required data for collect vendor data is malformed or missing.
Stop downstream actions and show the missing fields, source evidence and correction action to the named reviewer.
The trigger or provider event is delivered more than once.
Return the existing execution identified by the idempotency key and do not repeat downstream business actions.
The human decision expires before completion.
Escalate to the configured substitute, retain the original request and record both expiry and reassignment.
When not to build this
- Monthly volume is too low to justify integrating Web forms, Cloud storage, ERP platform.
- An existing configured platform already handles supplier onboarding with adequate ownership and reporting.
- Reliable source data or supported API access is unavailable.
- No business owner has authority to define the decision and exception rules.
