Vendor onboarding software
Fast and compliant
vendor onboarding software.
Onboarding new suppliers over email and spreadsheets takes weeks. Risks can slip through, and checks might miss one altogether.
Gatekeeper screens, approves, and documents every vendor in one place, so you're covered for speed and compliance.
Trusted by companies you know and love
Bring every new vendor on board in one place.
Capture every vendor once in Gatekeeper and use it everywhere, from screening and approvals
to your contracts and dashboards.
Screen every vendor before they sign.
Slow risk checks hold up onboarding, and duplicate suppliers slip in under different names across business units.
Gatekeeper runs identity verification, sanctions screening, and duplicate detection the moment a vendor enters the queue, minimising the risk of fraud or repeat relationships before the first order, not after the invoice arrives.
Move at the speed the business expects.
When onboarding drags, the business goes around you, and a purchase order bypasses the approval route.
Adaptive workflows send each vendor to the right team by category and risk, with SLAs, reminders, and escalations that keep things moving. You set the guardrails and keep oversight, without becoming the bottleneck.
Third parties do the paperwork.
Chasing certificates and policy documents eats up hours the team would rather spend on sourcing. A self-service portal lets third parties submit their own insurance, certifications, and policies, and Gatekeeper tracks every expiry date.
AI agents collect, review, and chase what is missing, so the team handles the exceptions, not the cluttered inbox.
Onboard once, use it everywhere.
Vendor details usually get re-keyed into multiple systems, and the versions drift apart. In Gatekeeper, you capture each detail once on a single vendor record, then it flows into contracts, dashboards, and scorecards without re-entry.
It syncs natively with other critical systems such as your ERP or NetSuite, so the vendor you onboard is the vendor finance already has, and nothing is entered twice.
See where onboarding stalls.
You cannot fix a cycle time you cannot see. Dashboards show how many vendors are moving, where they sit, and which stage holds them up.
Compliance status by category tells you at a glance which parts of the supplier base are covered and which need attention.
Complete supplier intelligence.
Validated vendor data syncs to ERP/AP/CRM, creating unified records for contract obligations, spend tracking, and performance scorecards.
RAG (Red, Amber, Green) risk assessments, compliance status, and renewal dates stay current across all systems, ensuring clean handoffs and complete supplier visibility.

FAQS
Frequently asked questions about vendor onboarding.
How does Gatekeeper speed up vendor onboarding?
Gatekeeper runs risk checks up front and automatically routes each vendor to the right approver, with SLAs, reminders, and escalations.
Third parties submit their own documents through a self-service portal, and agents follow up on what's missing, making onboarding up to 90% faster.
How does Gatekeeper stop duplicate or fraudulent vendors?
Gatekeeper checks every new vendor against your existing base for duplicates, even under a different name, and screens them with identity verification and sanctions checks.
Gatekeeper flags suspicious or duplicate relationships before approval, so you don't discover the problem after the first payment has already gone out.
Which teams approve vendors in Gatekeeper?
Workflows route each vendor to the teams that need to approve it, based on category and risk.
That usually means procurement, finance, legal, and information security, each seeing only the vendors and steps relevant to them. Procurement oversees the whole process without doing every step.
Does Gatekeeper integrate with our ERP or NetSuite?
Yes. Gatekeeper syncs vendor data with your ERP, including NetSuite, so a vendor onboarded once appears in the systems your finance and procurement teams already use, with no rekeying.
How does Gatekeeper keep vendor data secure?
Gatekeeper holds vendor and third-party data under recognised security controls, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001, with defined data residency.
Access is role-based, and every check and approval is logged for audit. You can review Gatekeeper's security posture at trust.gatekeeperhq.com.
Does Gatekeeper use our data to train AI models?
No. Gatekeeper AI and agents work on your data to screen vendors and surface risk, but your contracts and vendor information are not used to train shared or third-party models. Your data stays yours.
What is vendor onboarding software?
Vendor onboarding software is the system a business uses to intake, vet, and document new third parties before they start work.
Gatekeeper does this on one record: it verifies identity, screens for risk, collects compliance documents and routes approvals, so every vendor is checked and logged before the first order.
