Onboarding, compliance, documents, product data, corrective actions. Every structured process between you and your suppliers, running on workflows instead of email chains and spreadsheets.
Illustration: the same onboarding campaign seen from both sides. Your team sees a campaign page with completion counts and a table of suppliers and their status. Each supplier sees a guided, step-by-step task; when a supplier submits a step, their row in your table updates to complete.

Today
Every week we talk to procurement, compliance, and supply chain teams who describe the same problems: different industry, same story. Manual processes that worked at 20 suppliers don’t work at 200.
We spent two weeks onboarding a single supplier. Something was always missing, a document here, a signature there, and nobody was sure who owned the next step. By the time they were set up, the project we’d hired them for was already behind.
In Clover
Almost everything you do with suppliers is a mix of three: a workflow, the tasks it sends out, and the conversation around them. Combine them and the process runs itself, with full visibility and a complete record.
Illustration: one campaign built from the three blocks. A workflow (upload a certificate of insurance, a Clover AI check, an approval) is sent to 254 suppliers; each supplier gets a task, and a supplier's question is answered on the task itself, including a reply that came in from Outlook. The campaign stays live: 197 of the 254 complete and 57 in progress.
Start from a prebuilt workflow or build your own by dragging steps onto the canvas: forms, document collection, approvals, e-signatures, AI validation, branching.
Pick the workflow, pick who gets it, and send. Clover spawns a task for every supplier and tracks them as a group.
Most supplier back-and-forth happens over email, disconnected from the task it's about and impossible to find six months later. In Clover, questions get asked and answered right on the task they belong to.
Tasks go out, suppliers respond, AI checks the work, and anything that needs a decision goes to the right person.
Each vertical uses the same platform with industry-specific terminology, workflows, and compliance requirements. Not a generic tool with your industry name on it.
Clover is a supplier operations platform. It takes the recurring processes that run between you and your suppliers, like onboarding, document collection, compliance campaigns, price changes, and product data, and turns them into structured work that gets completed, validated, and recorded. Instead of living in email threads and spreadsheets, each process runs as a workflow that drives itself to done, with a complete decision trail behind every step.
Clover is built for teams managing large supplier bases through manual work: onboarding, compliance, and document chasing that still runs on email and spreadsheets. You've outgrown the inbox, but you don't need a $750K enterprise implementation and a team of consultants to fix it. If you're managing supplier relationships through inbox triage and shared drives, Clover is built for how you actually work.
Clover includes a supplier portal, and then goes well beyond one. Your suppliers get a clean, guided place to complete tasks, upload documents, and communicate with your team, with nothing to learn. The difference is what sits behind it: a configurable workflow engine, AI that validates work at the point of entry, campaign management across your whole supplier base, and a complete audit trail of every decision. Most portals collect information and stop there. Clover runs the whole process and keeps the record. The portal is the front door. The platform is the building.
Pricing depends on your supplier count and which processes you automate, and it's a fraction of what enterprise procurement suites charge, and of what you're spending in labor on the manual processes Clover replaces. Tell us about your most painful supplier processes, the size of your supplier base, and the systems your supplier data needs to reach, and we'll suggest a configuration that fits your use case and your budget.

Most organizations are live in weeks, not months. Clover is cloud-based with no on-premise infrastructure and no heavy integration required. You configure your workflows, invite your suppliers, and they start completing tasks through a guided interface that's super simple for suppliers. Ongoing configuration is done through the platform, not through an IT backlog.
Most tools store the current state of your supplier data and wait for someone to act on it. Clover is a system of action: a gap, an expiring document, or an exception becomes structured work that gets completed, validated, and decided. And because the work runs through Clover, every record carries its full history. Who approved an exception, what the justification was, whether the pattern has happened before, all captured in an immutable, hash-linked audit trail. That's what makes Clover's data ready for audits, AI, and real decisions.
No. ERPs manage internal operations: inventory, purchasing, accounting. Procurement suites handle sourcing and spend. Clover operates in the space between your organization and your suppliers: the collaboration layer where onboarding, compliance, document collection, and ongoing process management actually happen. Clover integrates with your existing systems through APIs and webhooks, handling the processes that live in email today.
No. Responding to your requests and interacting with your team is always free for suppliers. They complete clear, task-based requests through a guided wizard, with no clunky system to learn. Suppliers working with multiple buying organizations on Clover manage all of it from one place. Some suppliers also choose optional, paid services, like data validation, product readiness support, or direct integration with their own systems of record, but those are entirely their call. Everything you ask a supplier to do, they can do for free. And the easier it is for them to respond, the faster your processes complete.
Let's start with your problems, not our product. We'll talk through the supplier processes slowing your team down, then show you exactly how Clover would solve them, tailored to how you actually work.
