How Graphite Connect is Revolutionising Supplier Management

The traditional methods of supplier information management can plague organisations with inefficiencies, fraud risks and wasted resources. Conrad Smith, Founder and CEO of Graphite Connect, says his company's network architecture  can fundamentally transform how procurement teams manage suppliers & their data.

Graphite Connect has grown to approximately 100 employees, split between the United States and international operations across Europe, the Americas and Asia. The company was built with a strong engineering foundation to ensure scalability while maintaining real-time capabilities.

"When we built the business, we wanted to have the best of the best close by so that we could rapidly grow the technology and be prepared for the future and winning the network," Conrad explains. "Having just exceptional engineering and architecture, so we didn't have to backtrack a bunch of stuff was really important."

What distinguishes Graphite from other procurement technology providers is its team composition. "We are a strong engineering team, but that's balanced also with procurement people. We're built by procurement, for procurement," Conrad emphasises – ensuring current customers see Graphite as more than just a supplier management platform, but a partner in solving their procurement transformation.
