When your supplier network creates compliance obligations, nothing should slip through the cracks. We built the tool that makes sure it doesn't.
SupplierKit wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born at 5,416 meters.
Our founders were hiking the Thorong La Pass in Nepal's Annapurna region when a severe storm and altitude sickness turned a trek into a crisis. As hundreds of climbers were evacuated, our team was saved by the heroism of local guides, selfless drivers, and an ace helicopter crew.
The rescue was a miracle, but the aftermath was a mess.
It kicked off months of frustrating scrambling between our team, the local operator, and the tour company to resolve insurance claims and legal documentation. We realized then that the industry's compliance structure was incredibly fragile. In a sector defined by moving parts and high risks, the safety net was held together by loose emails and unverified PDFs.
We realized that no operator should have to burn months of time, drain their checkbook, or risk their reputation just to resolve a safety incident.
The insight
We started by thinking about supplier networks and verification marketplaces. Then we talked to operators. At ITB Berlin and in dozens of conversations with tour operators of all sizes, three truths emerged:
Integration complexity is real. Operators use legacy ERP systems that are mission-critical. You can’t become a system of record overnight.
Supplier networks already exist. Operators don’t need another supplier directory. They need to manage the suppliers they already work with.
The real problem is execution. Coordinators aren’t lacking supplier access. They’re lacking time and system accuracy. The compliance work gets done, but manually, inefficiently, and at legal risk.
The problem was always real. We just learned where to solve it. Not in a supplier directory, but in the daily compliance workflows your supplier network creates.
Supplier records contain sensitive operational information. We take data security seriously.
Errors and omissions insurance protects both you and us.
Full compliance with European data protection regulations.
All data hosted in European Union data centres.
Compliance templates configurable by jurisdiction and supplier category.
At its core, SupplierKit is a Chase Engine paired with a Compliance Vault. The Chase Engine is the wedge: automated outreach that does not stop until the work is done. The Compliance Vault is the structured record that makes every supplier a living operational artifact, not a static row in a spreadsheet.
Over time, as coordinators work through compliance workflows, SupplierKit accumulates a knowledge base about how your organization manages each supplier. How you handle edge cases, what supplier response times look like, which requirements cause friction.
This means new coordinators onboard faster, cross-supplier patterns become visible, and institutional knowledge never walks out the door.
We are building for travel operators first. The complexity of supplier relationships in this industry demands it, and we believe travel teams deserve purpose-built tools, not adapted enterprise software. The architecture underneath is designed to be universal, but our focus right now is making it excellent for travel.
