Supplier Index (SI) is a unified promotional product search platform that brings together products from multiple suppliers into a single, searchable interface—enhanced with AI-powered ideation to help you discover better product options faster. 

Traditional sourcing requires jumping between supplier websites, checking inventory, pricing, and decoration separately.

SI consolidates all of this into one place—removing bias, reducing time, and improving visibility across all suppliers. 

SI is the only promo product search engine with AI ideation built directly into the search experience—helping you not just find products, but discover new ideas aligned with your client’s needs. 

AI ideation helps refine and expand your searches conversationally.
For example:

• Start with: “t-shirts”
• Refine to: “t-shirts for workouts”
• AI suggests: “lightweight moisture-wicking performance tees for summer fitness campaigns”

It builds on your intent to guide better product discovery.

This approach allows SI to deliver consistent results, accurate comparisons, and a higher-quality search experience.

Supplier onboarding is the process of integrating supplier product data into SI.
This includes bringing in product catalogs, pricing structures, inventory feeds, and decoration information so they can be searched and displayed in a standardized way.

You can also onboard your preferred suppliers directly by selecting them and entering your account details—such as your account number, EQP status, and PromoStandards API credentials—to ensure your pricing and access levels are accurately reflected.

If you’re unsure how to obtain your PromoStandards credentials from a supplier, SI includes a built-in option to send a request email directly to the supplier, helping you complete the setup quickly.

The goal is to ensure consistent, accurate, and personalized data across all suppliers—so you can compare and evaluate products efficiently.

Yes, SI can be used as a standalone application for product search and ideation.
