Create a New Supplier

A guide for manually creating a new Supplier in the 1Breadcrumb Supplier Directory.

Adding your sub-contractor as a supplier in 1Breadcrumb allows you to onboard them onto particular sites/projects, which is required if you want a particular sub-contractor to check in, complete inductions, upload licenses etc. This guide will show you how to do that.

Please note: This guide is designed for non-Procore users. If you use Procore, suppliers must be created in Procore and it will sync across into 1Breadcrumb automatically.
