Open Supply chain > Providers & suppliers. The list covers your entire company account, not just the active workspace, which is what the 'Managed at organisation level' banner is telling you: an edit here is visible everywhere.
By default, your company appears as one entry with the type 'Brand owner'. You can modify this to match your actual business model, such as manufacturer, brand owner, or ingredient supplier. A single supplier entry can represent multiple provider types simultaneously.
Available Actions
The following operations are available in this section:
- Create a new provider by clicking the 'New provider' button.
- Search for specific providers by name (requires at least one existing provider).
- Filter by provider type using the chips above the list.
- Sort by different table fields.
- Edit provider details.
- Navigate to the other Supply chain sections.
What the figures above the list tell you
Four figures summarise where your impact comes from before you read a single row. They are covered in Supplier and company analytics, and the one worth knowing here is Attributed to suppliers: the share of your impact that belongs to a supplier at all. The rest is packaging, production and transport, which belong to no supplier, so the remainder is not missing data.
Creating a New Provider
When establishing a new provider entry, you must provide:
- Provider name.
- Provider ID (optional field).
- Type of provider: select one or more categories (manufacturer, brand owner, ingredient supplier).
- Controlled by you toggle: indicates whether this provider operates under your company's control, which affects reporting.
