REGISTRATION PROCESS

To complete the registration process, the supplier must fill out various forms required to outline the company profile.

Registration is initiated through an invitation sent via email. To proceed with registration, you will need to go to the Login page and click on the "Create an Account" button (A) (Figure 1).

Next, a window will appear where you must enter the pre-activation code (token) received via email and click on the "Proceed" button (see Figure 2). This will take you to the registration form.

Within the registration forms, fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory fields; however, we recommend that you fill in all fields in order to provide the Company with as much data as possible from the supplier company.

To submit and save each form, click on Save and Continue at the bottom right; if you wish to suspend registration, click on Exit. Once registration has been suspended, you can resume it at any time by re-entering the token code.

Please note that the token code is temporary and is valid for 30 days.

The registration form consists of 2 forms and a final section in which the Legal Clauses, which the supplier must read, are defined:

Module no. 1: Company details

Module no. 2: Product Categories

In the following paragraphs, the information to be entered in the individual modules will be described.

• Module n°1: Company Information  

In the first module, Company Information (see Figure 3), you can:

-Enter the required data to complete the company profile.

-Accept the Privacy Policy by checking the corresponding box.

After filling in all the fields, to proceed with the registration, click on Save and Continue (located at the bottom right – see Figure 3).

• Module n°2: Product Categories

Within the second form ‘Merchandise Categories’, the supplier shall mandatorily select one or more merchandise categories to which its products and/or services belong or shall confirm the merchandise categories already selected by the Company during the invitation phase.

The questionnaires proposed in the subsequent Qualification phase will depend on the product categories entered in this form (ref. Figure 4).
