Supplier Rollout

SupplyOn's Rollout Cockpit (ROC) is designed to support you in your supplier connection project and is part of the ‘SupplyOn Lifecycle Management’ (SLM).

What is the Rollout Cockpit (ROC) from SupplyOn?

The ROC is a tool with which you can connect your suppliers to your company or, as we say, "roll them out" for a specific SupplyOn Service.

"Rollout" summarizes the entire process from uploading your supplier data into SupplyOn System, invitation to registration to supplier activation.

The following user roles are required to start a supplier rollout: SLMROCAll
