Our take
Seamless supply chains are essential to the success of just about any business, but finding reliable suppliers and managing them can be tough. Supplier onboarding platforms can offer data-driven approaches to solve this problem, but these are often restricted to a specific scale, with alternatives requiring bespoke software development.
HICX is changing this through offering businesses a single source of truth for supplier data consolidation, management, and supplier experience. The platform can be integrated directly with major supply chain applications and leverages a low-code configuration system to help businesses of any scale tailor the software to their needs.
HICX serves the most complex tech landscapes in Fortune-1000 accounts, and has amassed an impressive list of clients, including Unilever, Lenovo and BAE Systems. The company remained bootstrapped until 2018, and has since raised significant funding which will be invested into optimizing the supplier experience.
