Tig Vendor Connect

TIG VendorConnect combines Power Pages, Model-driven Apps, and Power Automate to digitize and automate the vendor onboarding lifecycle. Vendors use a secure self-service portal to submit required information and documentation, which is reviewed and approved internally using a centralized model-driven app. Upon approval, vendor records are automatically created and updated in Business Central, minimizing manual entry, reducing errors, and accelerating time-to-engagement.

The solution is provided as a managed package, with a one-time onboarding fee and an ongoing monthly subscription that includes Power Apps licensing, support, updates, and regular maintenance.
