How the matching engine works

What suppliers are picked, in what order and why.

1 min readReviewed by the IC team

The matching engine scores every verified supplier against your brief on six dimensions:

  • Capability match
  • Capacity
  • Material / sector experience
  • Location (distance + region preferences)
  • Certifications matching brief requirements
  • Trust Score

Suppliers are ranked, top-N are notified by email and dashboard alert, and the rest can discover the brief through their match list.
