Suppliers and subcontractors can interact seamlessly through the Smart Materials Portal. Any company can register remotely into the system. Answering questions compiled specifically for the type of business offered enables an organization to more efficiently select business partners. Smart Materials Portal covers everything required for the registration and approval of companies, including RFQ, bid and document submittals, awarding, and day-to-day subcontract administration. The Portal also covers change management for subcontracts, from a change order request to the actual change order.
