Systems and Methods for Managing Supplier Information Between an Electronic Procurement System and Buyers' Supplier Management Systems

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• at an electronic procurement system:
• receiving a request for access from a supplier user;
• granting access to the electronic procurement system;
• receiving supplier data;
• storing the received supplier data to one or more databases;
• receiving a designation of a subset of the supplier data as protected supplier data;
• receiving a supplier user's selection of one or more buyer organization's supplier management systems to receive the supplier data;
• mapping the supplier data to one or more data schema of the one or more buyer organization's supplier management system;
• and
• transmitting the supplier data to the one or more supplier management systems.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• at a supplier management system:
• requesting access to an electronic procurement system;
• accessing the electronic procurement system;
• requesting a subset of the supplier profile data from one or more databases of the electronic procurement system;
• receiving the subset of the supplier profile data mapped to one or more data schema of the supplier management system;
• and
• storing the mapped subset of the supplier profile data in one or more databases of the supplier management system.

A system, comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• one or more memory connected to the one or more computer processors, wherein the one or more memory is configured with instructions to cause the one or more computer processors to:
• at a supplier user system:
• request access to an electronic procurement system;
• access the electronic procurement system;
• provide supplier data through a graphical user interface (GUI), the supplier data being provided for storage in one or more databases of the electronic procurement system;
• designate a subset of the supplier data as protected supplier data;
• and
• select one or more buyer organization's supplier management systems to receive the provided supplier data.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer, the one or more programs when executed cause the computer to perform the following steps:

• at a supplier user system:
• request access to a electronic procurement system;
• access the electronic procurement system;
• provide supplier data through a graphical user interface (GUI), the supplier data being provided for storage in one or more databases of the electronic procurement system;
• designate a subset of the supplier data as protected supplier data;
