How to Collect Missing Documents From Suppliers

To collect missing documents from suppliers, you send an update link tied to their existing record. They submit what is missing, and the record they already have is updated in place.

Why supplier onboarding stalls

Onboarding almost never fails at the first submission. It fails in the rounds of follow-up afterwards.

A document missing, requested by email, then lost in a thread
Information submitted again from scratch, creating a duplicate
No record of what was requested or when
Approval delayed because nobody can tell what is still outstanding

What a good follow-up loop looks like

A specific request, naming exactly what is missing
A link that updates, rather than a form that creates
A form the supplier can complete without an account
Fields scoped to only what is being asked for
The record updated in place, so the process can continue

How to configure it in Jestor

Register the supplier in Jestor through the initial onboarding form.
Move them through the homologation phases on a Kanban.
When something is missing, add the update link field to generate the link.
Choose the form it should open — one scoped to just the missing fields.
Send the link; their submission updates the existing record directly.

Why choose Jestor for supplier processes?

Jestor lets the update form carry conditionals and branding, so what a supplier sees is a focused request rather than a full re-registration.

Because the record updates in place, the approval workflow, the history, and any connected documents stay attached — nothing has to be merged afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the supplier need an account?

No, the link works without login. See jestor.com.

Can I ask for only specific fields?

Yes, by pointing the link at a form scoped to those fields.

Will it create a duplicate record?

No, it updates the existing one.
