Access to qualified buyers
Direct visibility to organizations actively purchasing — not lead lists.
§ 01 —For Manufacturers
Qualified buyers,
without the bureaucracy.
Direct visibility to organizations actively buying in your category — with onboarding measured in weeks, not quarters, and a single contract instead of a stack of them.
§ 02 —Partnership Benefits
What suppliers gain
from Meridian alignment.
Faster onboarding
Weeks, not quarters. Streamlined relative to legacy GPO contracting cycles.
Transparent category fit
You see exactly which buyer categories you serve and where you sit in the alliance.
Live product data feed
API, webhook, CSV, XML, or Google Sheet — your existing format, ingested cleanly.
Performance dashboard
Demand by category, top SKUs, fill-rate, missing data — no manual reporting.
Compliance documentation
Upload insurance, licensure, and certifications once; expirations are tracked for you.
Less administrative friction
One contract, one onboarding, one dashboard. Not a quarterly stack of paperwork.
Reliable demand signal
Aggregated buyer interest helps you plan inventory before orders arrive.
§ 03 —Feed Integration
Bring your existing format.
Meridian's supplier feed engine accepts five integration shapes plus manual upload. Use whichever your catalog system already produces.
HTTPS JSON API
Standard REST or GraphQL endpoint. Polled on schedule with auth tokens.
Webhook
Push updates when your catalog changes. Meridian acknowledges and processes.
CSV
Hosted CSV file fetched on schedule. Simple, dependable, no integration work.
XML
Standard product XML feed. Supports both flat and nested schemas.
Google Sheet
Published Google Sheet (CSV publish link). Easy for small teams to maintain.
Manual upload
For low-frequency catalogs. Upload via supplier portal whenever updates are needed.
§ 04 —Vetting & Compliance
Vetted once.
Monitored continuously.
Initial review covers insurance, licensure, manufacturer affiliations, and product authenticity. From then on, expirations are tracked automatically and you're notified 60, 30, and 15 days ahead of any lapse.
Apply as a manufacturer.
Supplier review takes five to ten business days. Feed integration usually completes within two to four weeks of approval.
