What We Do

At HICX, we believe a company’s suppliers are key to incremental value creation. That’s why we’ve developed the world’s first Supplier Experience Platform to help large enterprises remove the friction from their supplier relationships.

By adopting a single, consolidated experience covering all aspects of the supplier relationship, and building on a single version of supplier data truth, organizations with tens or even hundreds of thousands of suppliers can realize the full value of their investment in procurement suites and best of breed solutions across the supplier lifecycle. And, by becoming ‘customer of choice’ for all their suppliers, companies can have greater access to supplier innovation and to product during times of constraint. A great experience for suppliers and internal teams, also removes the inefficiencies that exist in the numerous different touch points with suppliers and supplier data.

For more than 15 years, we’ve been delivering supplier data and supplier information management solutions to the worlds largest organizations, in some of the most complex and highly regulated industries, including CPG, energy, manufacturing, aerospace and defence.

The HICX team is remote-first and spread across more than 15 countries but we also have offices in London, UK and Dallas, Texas.
