Key Features

Unified Application

The model-driven application manages pre-approval flows, master data, vendor on-boarding requests, and initial vendor registration, while offering users the option to configure approval levels and validation rules.

Vendor Registration Portal

A Power Pages-based portal, accessible on any web browser, allows vendors to submit their information and documents, and lets approvers review and update approval statuses.

Automated Workflows

The system automates approval processes, routes them efficiently, and sends notifications for pending approvals and status changes.

Seamless Data Integration

The application integrates smoothly with ERP systems and provides API access for consistent data management and connectivity with other applications.

What benefits will this application unlock?

Scalable Solution

The application can be scaled up easily to handle increasing vendor volumes.

Enhanced Transparency

Users are provided real-time tracking and visibility into the onboarding process for better communication and accountability.

How does it work?

Stage 1 - Vendor Pre-approval

The onboarding process starts with pre-approval. An initiator sends a request to the admin to register a vendor on the portal, along with their contact details. These details are vetted by admin-level users to ensure vendor eligibility.

Stage 2 - Vendor Onboarding

Once approved, the vendor receives an email to complete registration. Once the vendor registers, the Vendor Onboarding Application automates the approval flow, routing requests to the relevant approvers and notifying stakeholders of updates. Once the vendor registration process is completed, the vendor details will be integrated with the ERP system and other applications via API to maintain data consistency.

FAQs

The PowerApps Vendor Onboarding Application is a prebuilt solution from LevelShift that automates vendor registration, approval workflows, and ERP data synchronization using Power Apps, Power Pages, and Power Automate. It replaces manual, paper-based vendor intake with a governed digital process built for mid-sized and large enterprises.

Organizations managing a high volume of vendors benefit most, particularly in healthcare, financial services, retail, and manufacturing, where compliance and audit trails matter. Any procurement team dealing with inconsistent vendor data or slow, manual approval chains is a good fit.

A prebuilt accelerator like this one can typically go live in about four weeks, compared to months for a fully custom build. Timelines can extend depending on the complexity of ERP integrations and how many approval levels or validation rules need to be configured.

Power Apps and Power Automate offer prebuilt connectors for common ERP systems, including Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce, plus support for older systems that expose SOAP-based web services. For ERPs without a ready-made connector, LevelShift can build a custom connector to keep vendor data synchronized.

No. The vendor-facing portal runs on Power Pages, and the organization licenses external user access as a whole rather than per vendor. Vendors sign in through external identity providers like Microsoft, Google, or a local account created on the portal itself, so they don't need a Power Apps or Microsoft 365 license of their own.

Vendor onboarding is the process of collecting, verifying, and approving a new supplier's information, documents, and compliance details before they can transact with an organization. Done manually, it's slow and error-prone; done well, it reduces onboarding time, strengthens compliance, and gives procurement teams a reliable, audit-ready vendor record from day one.

Automated workflows remove manual data entry and repetitive follow-ups, the biggest sources of errors and delays in vendor onboarding. Routing approvals automatically and syncing vendor data directly with the ERP cuts down on rework, duplicate records, and the staff time spent chasing approvals.

LevelShift provides implementation, configuration, and training as part of the rollout, followed by post-go-live support to handle issues, adjust approval rules, and keep the application aligned with evolving vendor management needs.
