Bottom line
Graphite Connect is a supplier management platform built on a patented supplier network (US Patent 11562442). Each supplier keeps one validated, reusable profile covering onboarding, master data, relationship management, and third-party risk, with bank, tax, identity, and sanctions checks. Buyers report cutting onboarding from months to under 10 days. Open API and 50+ ERP connectors, with ERP configuration as short as two weeks. Pricing is custom-quoted.
Frequently asked questions
What does Graphite Connect do that a standard vendor master does not?
It runs supplier onboarding, supplier information management, supplier relationship management, and third-party risk management on one validated record. Suppliers enter and verify their own bank, tax and identity data once, and Graphite re-screens that profile for gaps, fraud indicators, and international sanctions exposure on an ongoing basis, so procurement, AP, finance and compliance share a single trusted source of truth.
How long does it take to get live and integrated?
The vendor says ERP configuration can take as little as two weeks depending on complexity, using its Open API or a custom-built ERP connector. Suppliers already on the network onboard in one to three days because their validated data is reused; customers quote onboarding a new partner moving from about three months to under ten days.
How is Graphite Connect priced?
The vendor does not publish list pricing. Its security page states pricing is 'refreshingly simple for every size company' but asks buyers to request a custom quote; the demo form qualifies on number of active suppliers, with bands starting under 1,000 and going above 10,000. Budget for implementation and integration support as part of the enterprise agreement.
What security certifications and controls does it claim?
Its security page states SOC 1 Type I and SOC 2 Type II certifications, AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, two-factor authentication, SSO with 30-minute session timeouts, and permissioned access to banking and tax data. The support FAQ additionally claims ISO 27001 and PCI, quarterly penetration testing, and 99.9% uptime. Buyers should request the current reports and scope directly.
Does Graphite integrate with our ERP and AP stack?
Yes. Graphite positions itself for multi-ERP and multi-AP environments, offering an Open API that powers 50+ ERP integrations plus a custom ERP connector, and it names SAP, Oracle, Workday and NetSuite. Integration engineers handle setup, and validated supplier data flows into the systems finance and procurement already use.
