In FY25/26, Supply Chain Management (SCM) will launch Graphite Connect, a new online registration tool designed to automate and streamline supplier onboarding for campus. Developed in partnership with Graphite, the platform will deliver an enhanced experience through portal-driven data collection, validation, and ongoing supplier information management. Scope and Key BenefitsThe initial rollout of Graphite Connect will focus on onboarding new Goods and Services (PO-based) suppliers. Payment-only suppliers, such as those used on the BearBuy Payment Request Form, will continue to be managed using the existing form-based process. By joining the Graphite Connect network, suppliers will be able to manage and maintain their own profile information, ensuring data accuracy and reducing manual intervention. The system includes built-in identity verification, tax and banking information validation, and robust security features, helping UCSF reduce the risk of fraud and improve overall data integrity. How It WorksA campus department user initiates an invitation in Graphite for a new Goods and Services supplier. The supplier receives the invitation via email and completes the registration in Graphite. This new method is designed to make supplier setup more efficient and secure. Further details about Graphite Connect and how you can support this important process improvement will be shared in future communications. Updated August 13, 2025
