title: "How to automate supplier onboarding with AI"
description: "Turn your onboarding checklist into a single request form and a list of required documents, such as tax forms, insurance certificates and bank details. AI reads what the supplier sends, checks that each item is present, readable and in date, and asks the supplier for anything missing. Bank details are always confirmed by a person through a known contact, and procurement or finance approves the supplier before it can be used."

# How can a business use AI to onboard new suppliers faster without skipping checks?
Turn your onboarding checklist into a single request form and a list of required documents, such as tax forms, insurance certificates and bank details. AI reads what the supplier sends, checks that each item is present, readable and in date, and asks the supplier for anything missing. Bank details are always confirmed by a person through a known contact, and procurement or finance approves the supplier before it can be used.
## What this means in practice
- Turn the onboarding checklist into one form and a document list.
- Check each document is present, readable and in date.
- Ask the supplier directly for anything missing.
- Confirm bank details through a known contact, never by email alone.
- Require a person to approve every new supplier.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
## See it as a workflow
- [Supplier onboarding and document collection](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/supplier-onboarding/): Collect the forms, certificates and bank details a new supplier must provide, check each item against your requirements, and chase what is missing, so purchasing can start sooner without skipping checks.
