From first contact to trusted supplier.

One profile for each supplier, with their documents, quotes, deliveries, bills, and payments in one place.

A portal your suppliers actually use.

Suppliers sign in with the invite you send them. Quotes, orders, delivery plans, and invoices arrive on the record, so your team stops chasing them on the phone.

Hear about every new order

Suppliers are told by email when a purchase order or quote request is sent to them, with a link to the portal.

Pay the right supplier, every time.

Most supplier fraud starts with a changed bank account or a supplier nobody checked. Bizflow checks before the money moves.

PaymentsPaused until finance confirms

Finance calls the number already on file, not the one in the request, then approves the change.

  • New suppliers are approved

    A supplier can only receive orders once procurement and finance have approved them.

  • Duplicates are caught

    A second supplier with the same KRA PIN, phone, or bank account is flagged before it is saved.

  • Expired documents pause payments

    If a tax compliance certificate lapses, new orders and payments wait for the renewal.

  • Blocked suppliers stay blocked

    Suppliers you stop working with cannot be picked on a requisition, a quote, or a PO.

  • Bank changes need a second check

    New bank accounts and paybills are confirmed by finance before anyone is paid.

  • Everything is on record

    Who added, approved, changed, or blocked a supplier, and when, is kept with the supplier.

Suppliers, by industry.

The suppliers different businesses rely on, and how Bizflow keeps them in check.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to add a supplier?

Their name, KRA PIN, category, contacts, payment terms, and bank or M-PESA details. You can also ask for documents such as the PIN certificate, CR12, and tax compliance certificate.

Do suppliers need to pay for the portal?

No. Suppliers join through the invite you send them, at no cost to them.

Which documents can Bizflow track?

Any document you choose, with an expiry date if it has one. Most businesses track the PIN certificate, certificate of incorporation, CR12, tax compliance certificate, licences, and insurance.

What happens when a document expires?

Reminders go out before the expiry date. Once it lapses, new orders and payments to that supplier wait until the renewal is attached.

How is a supplier's score worked out?

From on-time deliveries and rejected items on goods received notes, price differences found in three-way matching, and how quickly the supplier replies on the portal.

How do you stop payments to a fake bank account?

A change of bank account or paybill is held until finance confirms it with the supplier, using the contact already on file. Payments to that supplier pause until then.

Can I import my existing suppliers?

Yes. Import a spreadsheet of suppliers, attach their documents, and invite them to the portal.

Work with suppliers you can trust.

Onboard them properly, compare their prices, score their deliveries, and pay them on time.
