Managing supplier and buyer relationships is a core responsibility for procurement and commercial teams across the metals and mining industry. Over time, organisations build extensive networks of counterparties across different products, regions, and trading relationships.
Despite their importance, these relationships are often managed through fragmented tools and informal knowledge. Supplier lists may exist in spreadsheets, compliance information may sit in separate systems, and internal teams may rely on individual experience to understand which counterparties are approved for specific products.
This lack of structure creates operational inefficiencies and governance risks. Teams may struggle to maintain a consistent view of counterparties, ensure compliance documentation is up to date, or prepare sourcing events with the right suppliers.
In this MetalshubTalks webinar, we introduce Relationships, Metalshub’s latest platform feature designed to provide a structured workspace for managing counterparties across procurement and sales activities.
The discussion will explore:
The session will demonstrate how structured relationship data supports more efficient workflows, stronger compliance processes, and better preparation for analytics and reporting.
MetalshubTalks host Samir Jaber will be joined by Gaurav Pathak, Senior Product Manager at Metalshub. Gaurav will walk us through a live demonstration of the Relationships feature, showing how procurement and commercial teams can organise counterparties, manage product-level relationships, and prepare sourcing workflows within a single structured workspace.
Join the conversation to learn how digital platforms can help commercial teams organise their networks and manage counterparties with greater clarity and control.
