What SupplHi does

SupplHi is a SaaS B2B vendor management platform purpose-built for the industrial equipment and services sector. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Milan, Italy, the platform operates as a two-sided digital ecosystem connecting industrial buyer organizations (EPC contractors, OEMs, end-users) with a network of approximately 60,000 vendors across 110 geographies, organized through the proprietary SupplHi Standard Categorization spanning 2,600 categories, 250 families, and 45 groups. Core platform modules include Vendor Register, Qualification, Performance Evaluation, Vendor Master Data, Compliance Checks (OFAC SDN, UN, EU, World Bank, PEP, adverse media), and Vendor Scouting, supplemented by add-on modules for ESG Sustainability Assessment, Carbon Tracker (validated against ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol), Market Compass, Vendor Passport, and Category Analytics. The platform is hosted on AWS European servers, built on Java/Spring Boot (back-end), Angular/HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript (front-end) with MongoDB, and exposes RESTful APIs for integration with SAP, Oracle, Procure-to-Pay, GRC, Document Management, and Azure AD (SAML 2.0 / SCIM 2.0).

The business model is hybrid. Vendor registration, questionnaires, and qualification are free, creating a freemium supply-side funnel that drives network density. Buyer organizations pay subscription-based fees for SaaS access (contract-based, pricing not publicly disclosed, entered via demo-request flow), with additional recurring revenue from vendor-side premium modules (Vendor Passport, Market Compass) and professional services for tailor-made scouting and categorization work. The company sells primarily through a sales-led motion to enterprise buyers while leveraging a structured Partners Program (Solution Partners such as Lloyd's Register and Hexagon PPM, Project Partners, Industry Associations, and Institutional Partners such as SACE). Named enterprise customers include Maire Tecnimont, Saipem, Petrofac, Adriatic LNG, Bonatti, and Innovo. Certifications include ISO/IEC 27001:2013, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO/IEC 27018:2019 (all via Bureau Veritas), SOC 1 Type II, and GDPR compliance. The company is structured as an S.r.l. Società Unipersonale with a UK subsidiary (SupplHi LTD) and an engineering/R&D center in Udine.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (Buyers): Buyer organizations pay for access to the Vendor Management SaaS platform. Pricing is subscription-based, likely tiered by modules, users, or company size. The T&C states that buyer-specific terms are part of individual contracts, implying enterprise/contract-based pricing.
2. Free Vendor Registration (Freemium): Vendor registration, vendor questionnaire, and qualification processes are free for vendor companies. Vendors receive a commercial digital channel and visibility to buyer organizations at no cost. Revenue from vendors is indirect — vendors are the supply-side network effect driving buyer value.
3. Premium Add-ons (Vendor Passport, Market Compass): Additional solutions such as the Vendor Passport and Market Compass can be subscribed separately by vendors at standard cost, generating incremental revenue from the vendor side.
4. Professional Services / Custom Scouting: Tailor-made vendor scouting and personalized market analysis services are offered on a custom basis, including digitization of project vendor lists and bespoke categorization work.
