HOW IT WORKS
Connect once. Access thousands. Transact seamlessly.
SourceSage works in three simple steps: connect your systems, activate your supplier network, and start transacting with better procurement outcomes.
Connect your systems
Buyers connect their ERP or procurement platform (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Oracle, etc.) to SourceSage. Suppliers connect their catalog and order management systems. Both use pre-built connectors and APIs—no custom development required.
- ✓Pre-built connectors for major procurement platforms
- ✓RESTful APIs for custom integrations
- ✓Punchout support for catalog browsing
- ✓Secure, encrypted data transmission
Typical timeline: 1-2 weeks for standard integrations
Activate your network
Once connected, buyers can discover and onboard suppliers from the SourceSage network. Suppliers make their catalogs available to approved buyers. Both sides maintain control over pricing, terms, and approval workflows.
- ✓Browse pre-qualified supplier network
- ✓Invite your existing suppliers to join
- ✓Set approval workflows and spending limits
- ✓Configure catalog visibility and pricing rules
Typical timeline: Ongoing—activate suppliers as needed
Start transacting
Buyers browse catalogs, create purchase requisitions, and send orders through their existing procurement system. Orders flow through SourceSage to suppliers, who fulfill and invoice. All data syncs back to buyer ERP for reconciliation.
- ✓Catalog browsing within your procurement system
- ✓Automated purchase order creation
- ✓Real-time order status tracking
- ✓Invoice matching and reconciliation
Typical timeline: Immediate once suppliers are activated

Technical architecture
SourceSage is built as a cloud-native platform with enterprise-grade security. We use RESTful APIs for real-time data exchange, webhook notifications for event-driven updates, and encrypted connections for all data transmission.
