Vendor Collaboration

Stop running your supply chain over email.

A portal where vendors confirm POs and submit invoices — and an inbox that ties every message to the record it belongs to.

30 minutes, tailored to your operation. No commitment.

Skuwell — Vendor Collaboration
YOUR PO PO #418 · Acme Supply Walnut Board · 240 Ceramic Mug · 500 VENDOR PORTAL Confirmed ✓ Ship date: Apr 22 Invoice attached
What you get

The essentials.

  • Confirmed POs with ship dates
  • Invoices matched to receipts
  • Less time hunting through threads
How it runs

A PO's conversation, without the reply-all

1

Send to the portal

The vendor gets a portal link, not a PDF attachment destined for a lost-email graveyard.

2

Confirm & schedule

They confirm line items, set ship dates, and flag substitutions — structured, not prose.

3

Invoice against truth

Their invoice submits against the PO and reconciles against what you actually received.

Capabilities

What's in the box.

Vendor portal

Vendors see their POs, confirm quantities and dates, and communicate in one place.

PO confirmations

Line-level confirms with ship dates — so 'did they get the PO?' stops being a question.

Invoice submission

Vendors submit invoices with photos and documents attached, against the actual PO.

Vendor inbox

Email threads link to the records they're about — POs, invoices, products, claims.

Invoice import

Invoices arriving as email attachments get captured and matched automatically.

Vendor catalogs

Supplier price sheets live as browsable, purchasable catalogs inside Skuwell.

Vendor users & permissions

Each vendor sees exactly their own data — nothing else.

Why Skuwell

Your vendors don't need another login they'll ignore. They need one that pays them faster.

The portal is built around the vendor's incentive: confirmed POs and clean invoices get processed faster. And for vendors who insist on email, the linked inbox means their messages still land on the right record — your team stops forwarding threads to find context.

FAQ

Vendor Collaboration, answered.

What can vendors do in the portal?

Vendors confirm POs at the line level, set and update ship dates, submit invoices with photos and documents, flag issues, and message your team — all scoped to only their own data.

What if a vendor won't use a portal?

Their email still works. Skuwell's vendor inbox links email threads and attachments to the right PO, invoice, or product, and invoices arriving as attachments can be captured and matched automatically.

Is vendor data kept separate?

Yes. Vendor users have their own logins and see only their own POs, invoices, and conversations. Permissions are per-vendor.

Can vendors submit invoices through Skuwell?

Yes. Invoices submit against the original PO with attachments, then reconcile against receipts — so discrepancies surface before payment, not after.
