LabCollector Launches New Vendor/Supplier Verification Portal to Strengthen the Full Procurement Cycle

The new portal brings structured request, review, and approval of suppliers into LabCollector's Purchase Order Management, enhancing compliance and traceability across the entire procurement workflow.

Paris, France – July 2026 – LabCollector, the leading laboratory information management platform, today announced the launch of its new Vendor/Supplier Verification Portal, a dedicated system for verifying, updating, and approving suppliers directly within LabCollector. The portal extends the capabilities of the Purchase Order Management (POM) module, reinforcing the full procurement cycle from request to stock.

As laboratories scale and sourcing becomes more complex, ensuring that every supplier is properly verified before orders are placed is essential for compliance, safety, and budget control. The new portal gives lab and procurement teams a single place to request, review, and approve suppliers, so that only validated vendors can be used across purchasing activities.

LabCollector Supplier Verification Portal — Smarter Procurement, Stronger Compliance, All in One Platform. Introducing the Supplier Verification Portal, E-Catalog, and Punch-Out e-Ordering with a request, review, and approve workflow cycle.

A Dedicated Supplier Verification Workflow

The new portal introduces a clear, three-step cycle for managing suppliers — Verify, Update, Approve with Confidence. Each supplier follows a structured verification path:

  1. 1

    Request

    Lab teams request the creation or update of a supplier directly from LabCollector, attaching documents and context to the verification request.

  2. 2

    Review

    Authorized reviewers validate the supplier information, compliance documents, and risk data before approval.

  3. 3

    Approve

    Once reviewed, the supplier is approved and becomes available across purchasing workflows, with full traceability of who requested and approved it.

The external supplier verification portal displays each request with its ID, seller, status, and requester, giving reviewers a clear overview of what needs attention and what has already been approved.

Enhancing the Full Procurement Cycle

The verification portal is built directly into LabCollector's Purchase Order Management module, connecting supplier validation to the complete purchasing journey — from request to stock, every purchasing step inside LabCollector:

1

Request
