No structured way to screen suppliers
Buyers spend hours checking if suppliers meet the technical, compliance, and commercial requirements of each tender — instead of evaluating the best options.
Proposals in inconsistent formats
Supplier quotes arrive by email with missing or unclear information, making it hard to compare price, lead times, MOQs, and technical specs objectively.
No defensible decision record
Sourcing decisions are made in email threads and spreadsheets. When compliance or audits require documentation, there is nothing to show.
How PolyHub works for procurement teams
Define your material requirements
Create a structured product brief: polymer family, processing method, compliance needs, delivery region, volumes, and PCR requirements. Suppliers get a clear, unambiguous brief to respond to.
Get matched with qualified suppliers
PolyHub automatically evaluates every supplier profile against your brief. Only suppliers that meet your exact requirements are invited to respond — no manual screening.
Compare structured proposals
Suppliers submit in a standardized format. Review price, lead time, MOQ, incoterms, and technical details side by side in a normalized comparison view.
Award with a full audit trail
Freeze a comparison snapshot, enter your decision rationale, and award. Every version, every proposal, and every decision is permanently recorded.
Built for the way polymer procurement actually works
Deterministic supplier matching
Rule-based eligibility checks polymer family, processing method, region, MOQ, compliance, and PCR capability.
Four offer types
Existing grade, modified grade, custom formulation, and inventory lot — mapping to how suppliers actually go to market.
Proposal versioning
Suppliers can revise before the deadline. Every version is preserved. You always see the latest submission with full history.
Comparison snapshot
Before awarding, freeze an immutable record of all proposal data. The award is permanently linked to this snapshot.
Certificate management
Supplier compliance certificates are tracked with validity dates, recorded at decision time.
Admin governance
Publishing tenders and awarding require company admin authorization. Every action is logged.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the procurement solution for?expand_more
It is built for procurement teams at manufacturers who source polymer raw materials — packaging, automotive, consumer goods, and industrial applications.
How does supplier matching work?expand_more
PolyHub runs a deterministic eligibility check against every supplier profile. It checks polymer family, processing method, delivery region, MOQ compatibility, compliance capability, and PCR content. Suppliers either match or not — with explicit reasons stored for both outcomes.
What polymer materials are supported?expand_more
PolyHub supports all major polymer families including PP, PE, PET, ABS, PA, PVC, and more. Suppliers specify which families they supply during onboarding.
Can I manage compliance requirements in the tender?expand_more
Yes. Each product brief includes compliance fields — EU food contact, REACH, FDA, and recycled content (PCR) requirements. Only suppliers who meet these requirements are matched.
What happens if no suppliers match my requirements?expand_more
You will see exactly which requirements could not be met and why. This helps you adjust the brief or identify gaps in the supplier network.
How is the comparison structured?expand_more
Suppliers submit structured proposals across standardized fields. The comparison view normalizes price, lead time, MOQ, incoterms, and technical specs across all submitted offers — regardless of offer type.
Is there an audit trail for sourcing decisions?expand_more
Yes. Before awarding, you freeze a comparison snapshot — an immutable record of all proposal data at the time of decision. The award is permanently linked to this snapshot with a written rationale.
How is PolyHub different from generic procurement tools?expand_more
Generic tools like SAP Ariba or Coupa are built for indirect procurement and do not understand polymer-specific requirements — material grades, processing methods, compliance certifications, or offer types. PolyHub is purpose-built for polymer raw material sourcing.
