What is the TradeAware Commercial Network?

The commercial network is a free way for buyers to request plot data from their suppliers.

It allows for companies to connect with each other for ongoing data sharing to simplify the process of ongoing due diligence and to prevent re-entry of plot information for each new buyer request.

It allows suppliers to request and anonymously share data from their sub-suppliers so that don’t have to worry about sharing commercially sensitive data.

Adding Suppliers as a Buyer

To open the suppliers view, press the Suppliers icon on the left panel. If you don’t have suppliers, the table will be empty.

Once you added an email, you can click “Invite” to send the invitation.

If the Supplier declines the request, it will no longer show in the notifications centre.

If the Supplier accepts the request, they will become visible in the Suppliers table where you can see the name of the supplier, the contact email and the number of plots.

By expanding the table you can see more details for the supplier.

Selecting a Supplier will show their details and any plots they or their sub-suppliers have added as well as their risk statuses.

You will also see the Supplier on any plots in the Plots table.

Assessing Supplier Risk

To learn more about how to assign risk statuses to suppliers, see Risk Assessment
