Kelqio Connect
Connect suppliers without rebuilding your procurement stack.
Connect supplier systems on one side and your procurement and ERP environment on the other. Then add the next supplier without reopening the integration.
Integrate once — extend supplier by supplier
The cost of supplier connectivity is not the first supplier. It is the hundredth.
Point-to-point integration has a comfortable first project. One supplier, one interface, one specification everybody agrees on. The problem arrives later: the tenth interface has to be maintained alongside the first nine, and each one fails in its own way.
Connect inverts the shape. The enterprise side is integrated once. Each additional supplier is an onboarding, not a project — and the enterprise side does not change when a supplier changes.
02How it works
Many methods on one side, one integration on the other.
Connect is deliberately asymmetric. Supplier connections vary because suppliers vary; the enterprise connection is built once and then left alone.
- 01Supplier side
A method is chosen per supplier
Based on what the supplier can operate today, not on what would be architecturally elegant.
Supplier side
A supplier with no IT capacity is not disqualified — it is connected differently.
Enterprise side
Your integration does not change when a supplier is added on a different method.
- 02◇ DecisionKelqio
Data is ingested and validated
Incoming catalog, pricing and availability data is checked before it is allowed downstream.
Supplier side
Rejected lines come back to the supplier with a reason, not a silent failure.
Enterprise side
Bad data stops at the layer instead of arriving in your ERP and being fixed by hand.
↳ Rejected · Supplier side
The supplier is told what to fix
Field by field, on the batch that failed — not a generic error to interpret three days later.
- 03Kelqio
Everything is mapped to one structure
Identifiers, units, packaging and price conditions are expressed the same way regardless of origin.
Supplier side
Each supplier keeps its own references; the mapping is held on the connection.
Enterprise side
One contract to code against, so the tenth supplier costs a fraction of the first.
- 04Enterprise side
The standardized flow is delivered
Catalogs, carts and orders are exchanged with your ERP and procurement platform.
Supplier side
Orders reach the supplier through the same channel it publishes on.
Enterprise side
Your systems keep their process, their users and their authority over master data.
- 05Kelqio
The connection stays observable
Method, scope and last successful exchange are visible per supplier, continuously.
Supplier side
A supplier that stops publishing is identified as such, by name and by date.
Enterprise side
The first question of any incident is answered before a ticket is opened.
03What Connect does
One integration point, two very different sides.
Supplier-side connections
Suppliers are connected through whichever method they can actually support, from a product API to a catalog file to the Kelqio Supplier workspace.
ERP connectors
Standardized delivery of supplier, catalog and order data into your ERP, in the shape your ERP expects.
Procurement platform integrations
Catalog sessions and structured carts delivered into the procurement platform your buyers already use.
API access
Programmatic access for the parts of your landscape that need to read or write directly.
Mapping and normalization
References, units, currencies and category structures are mapped once and applied consistently downstream.
Observable state
Connection method, scope, last exchange and failures are visible per supplier rather than buried in logs.
04Operations
Connectivity you can actually operate.
A connection that nobody can see the state of is a connection nobody trusts. The operational view is part of the product, not an afterthought.

Downstream systems
Where the standardized flow is delivered
- ERPPurchase orders, supplier master data
- Procurement platformCatalogs, carts
- Kelqio ApproveRequisitions, approvals
Connection methods shown are illustrative. Supported protocols are published only once verified.
- 01
Per-supplier connection method
It is normal for suppliers to be connected differently. It is not normal for nobody to know which is which.
- 02
Scope per connection
Catalog, pricing, availability and orders can each be enabled independently as a supplier matures.
- 03
Last exchange, per supplier
A supplier that stopped sending data two weeks ago should be visible before the buyer notices.
- 04
Onboarding pipeline
Suppliers still being connected appear in the same view, so onboarding progress is measurable.
05Integration claims
What we will and will not claim about integration.
Procurement integration is a field where specific protocol names carry weight, and where a vague claim costs a customer months. We publish support for a specific protocol, standard or software product only once it is verified and we can demonstrate it.
What we will say generally: Kelqio is designed to connect through APIs, ERP connectors and procurement platform integrations, and to accept supplier catalog data through several methods so that suppliers without an IT team can still participate.
What we will not say until confirmed: named support for any specific standard, protocol or vendor product. Where you see a placeholder marked to be confirmed on this site, it means exactly that — not a soft yes.
