The execution layer
between you and
your suppliers.
Configurable workflows that execute, validate, and record every structured process between companies. The system that runs the work, alongside the systems that record it.
Stop buying a new tool for every problem
Need documents signed? There's a tool for that. Need certifications collected for CTPAT or CPSIA? Another one. Need product data managed? A PIM suite. Every problem gets its own tool, each a whole product to do one thing, each another login and another contract. Underneath, they all do the same job: run a process, collect information, share it back. Clover does that job once, for every process between you and your suppliers, on a platform that grows with you from 10 suppliers to 50,000.
One process each
A CTPAT tool here, an onboarding app there, a certification collector for CPSIA. Each handles its one process well, and adds one more login your suppliers have to learn. The other dozen processes stay in email and spreadsheets.
Heavy and sourcing-first
Source-to-pay procurement platforms. Powerful and complete, but built around sourcing and spend, six-figure to license, and measured in quarters to stand up. Overkill for the work between transactions.
One layer for all of it
One configurable system for every process between you and your suppliers, built to adapt to the problems you have today and the ones you'll have tomorrow. Mid-market. No portal to learn. Live in weeks, not quarters.
Three building blocks. Every supplier process.
Almost everything you run with suppliers is a mix of three: a workflow (you just saw the builder), the tasks it sends out, and the conversation around them. Here's each one a level deeper, and the record they leave behind.
Whatever moves between you and your partners, Clover can manage it
Companies and products come ready to go. You can start onboarding suppliers and managing your catalog on day one. When you're ready, add anything else that passes back and forth: invoices, chargebacks, purchase orders, certifications, compliance records, contracts, trade promotions. Each one gets the same treatment: clear workflows, structured responses, and a full history of who did what and when. Supplier contacts are first-class too: a living directory the suppliers themselves keep current, not a static field you maintain in a spreadsheet.
- Companies and products built in: start onboarding and managing your catalog on day one
- Supplier contacts as a living directory: suppliers update their own people, your team manages by exception
- Add what your industry needs: documents, compliance records, trade terms, regulatory filings
- Everything gets tracked the same way: workflows, tasks, conversations, and a complete history
Send it to one supplier or ten thousand: each gets a guided task
Pick the workflow, pick who gets it, and send. Clover spawns a task for every supplier and tracks them as a group. On the supplier's side it's a guided wizard, not a portal to learn. They step through, upload what's needed, and AI checks the work at the point of entry. The result is higher response rates and far fewer follow-ups, with no training on either side.
- Send to one supplier or your whole base in a single click
- A guided task, not a portal: suppliers need no training
- AI validates at submission, before it ever reaches your queue
The conversation lives inside the work, not in a separate inbox
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. Your team replies in real time, the whole exchange is captured with the work, and connecting Gmail or Outlook pulls supplier email into the same place.
- Task-scoped conversations: every question tied to the exact work, not a side-channel thread
- Real-time and team-aware: the right group answers; nothing trapped in one person's inbox
- Email pulled into context: connect Gmail or Outlook so supplier email lives with the relationship
Combine them and the process runs itself, with a complete record
Because the workflow runs the tasks and captures every conversation, the record builds itself. You get full visibility into where every supplier stands, and a complete, time-stamped history of who decided what and why, without anyone assembling it after the fact.
Most systems store the what. Clover stores the why.
When your supplier updates an allergen declaration and your QA lead approves it, every other system stores the new value. Clover stores the new value and everything around it: who reviewed it, when, how it changed from the prior version, what conditions were attached, and the supplier's note explaining why.
Six months later when an auditor asks why that field changed, you don't reconstruct the answer from email. You click the field and read the decision.
- Built into every workflow, every approval, every exception
- Hash-linked and immutable: tamper-evident by design
- Full visibility: see exactly where every supplier and task stands, in real time
Because it's all captured, AI can actually reason over it
Most supplier data gives AI a name, a date, and a status. Clover's gives it the full decision history, so the AI doesn't just build lists, it reasons about risk. It works in two places: across everything, answering questions that used to take your team a day; and at the door, validating every document the moment it's uploaded.
Questions that took your team a day now take seconds
The Clover AI agent is a conversational interface for querying your suppliers, workflows, tasks, and all of the underlying data. Because every piece of data in Clover carries its full lineage (who changed it, who approved it, what conditions were attached), the agent doesn't just look things up. It reasons about patterns, risk, and history in ways that flat-data AI can't.
"Which suppliers that sell FTL products haven't confirmed FSMA 204 readiness?" · "What's the aggregate traceability readiness for my romaine lettuce suppliers?" · "Which suppliers have kosher certificates expiring in the next 90 days?"
- Cross-domain reasoning: connect supplier data to compliance data to workflow history in one answer
- Full decision lineage in every query: not just current state, but what changed and why
- Actionable results: create campaigns, export lists, or send reminders directly from answers
Extracted, validated, and cleared before it ever reaches your team
When a supplier uploads a document, Clover's AI reads it in real time. It pulls the key fields (legal name on a W-9, products covered on a kosher certificate, coverage dates on a COI) and checks each one against your rules. If something fails, the supplier sees it immediately and can't move forward until it's fixed. Your team only reviews what already passed.
- Configurable review templates: you define what to extract and what rules apply
- Real-time feedback at upload: suppliers fix errors before submitting
- Confidence scores and reasoning on every extraction: your team makes the call when it matters
- Blocking validations prevent bad submissions from reaching your queue
Complementary, not a rip and replace
A customer-facing API and pre-built integrations for ERPs, PLMs, MDMs, PIMs, and platforms like Slack, Teams, and email. Cloud-based, no on-premise deployment. Implementation measured in weeks, not quarters.
Built for the evaluators who actually read this section
Your team manages supplier records, compliance documents, and business-critical workflows in Clover. Here’s the security posture behind that.
SSO & identity
SAML 2.0 single sign-on integrated with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and other major identity providers. Your team authenticates through your existing IdP. No separate passwords, no credential sprawl.
Encryption end-to-end
AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.2+ in transit. Every API call, every file upload, every field of supplier data: encrypted on the wire and in the database.
Immutable audit trail
Every action (every workflow step, approval, document upload, field change, conversation) recorded in a hash-linked audit log with timestamps and user attribution. When the auditor asks, the answer is a click.
SOC 2 (in progress)
Clover is built to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria across security, availability, and confidentiality. Formal Type II certification is on the near-term roadmap. Our security questionnaire responses (SIG Lite, CAIQ) are available on request.
Frequently asked questions
Clover is a configurable platform for managing collaborative business processes between companies. It replaces the email, spreadsheets, and shared drives that most organizations use to run processes like onboarding, compliance, document collection, and price changes with their suppliers and partners.
ERPs manage internal operations: purchasing, inventory, accounting. SRMs like Ariba focus on procurement and sourcing. Clover operates in the space between companies: the collaboration and execution layer where processes actually run. It handles the workflows, documents, conversations, and decisions that happen between a buyer and their suppliers.
Most deployments are up and running in weeks, not months. Clover is configured to match your processes. You don't need custom development or a lengthy integration project. Your team defines the workflows, and suppliers start receiving structured tasks immediately.
No. Suppliers interact through guided tasks with a step-by-step response wizard. There's no portal to learn, no training manual to read. They see a task, complete it, and they're done. This is one reason Clover gets significantly higher supplier response rates than traditional portals.
Yes. Clover's workflow engine is fully configurable. You build processes visually with steps that include forms, document collection, approvals, e-signatures, AI validation, and conditional branching. If you can describe your process, Clover can model it. Adding a new workflow is a configuration exercise, not a development project.
Most tools apply AI to flat, current-state data: a supplier record with today's fields. Clover's AI operates on structured decision history: every workflow step, every approval, every conversation, every document version. That context is what allows it to reason about risk, patterns, and trends, not just look up records. It also validates documents at the point of upload and answers natural-language questions across your supplier data and decision history.
No. Clover's AI handles validation and data extraction so your team can manage by exception (reviewing flagged issues and making decisions) instead of manually checking every submission. Every AI action includes reasoning and confidence scores. Your team still makes every approval and judgment call.
No. Your supplier data is never used to train models or shared with other customers. Clover's AI processes your data in isolated, secure environments with the same enterprise-grade protections that apply to all platform data. You retain full ownership and control.
Yes. Clover runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and is built to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria across security, availability, and confidentiality, with formal SOC 2 Type II certification on the near-term roadmap. It uses end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and team-scoped data isolation, and our security questionnaire responses (SIG Lite, CAIQ) are available on request. Your supplier data stays private and access is controlled at the company, team, and user level.
