Overview
HICX is a supplier management platform, marketed as a supplier experience management (SXM) platform, founded in 2004 and headquartered in London. It is aimed at large, complex enterprises that manage thousands of suppliers across multiple ERP and procurement systems. The platform's core is a Supplier Data Foundation, a single authoritative supplier master record kept synchronized across a customer's ERPs and other systems, supplemented by HICX Origin, which validates and enriches supplier data using more than 40 external data sources.
On top of that data layer, HICX offers a set of supplier lifecycle modules covering registration, onboarding, risk management, compliance, performance management, relationship management, transaction (PO/invoice) visibility, and a supplier helpdesk, plus a no-code process orchestration engine for configuring supplier workflows without IT involvement. A Business Portal gives internal procurement, accounts payable, risk and compliance teams a shared workspace, while a Supplier Portal, available in 11 languages, gives suppliers self-service access to their own data, documents, invoices and compliance certificates.
HICX has layered generative and agentic AI onto the platform: agents for validation and compliance, risk monitoring, relationship management and data governance that automate document checks, sanctions screening, ESG monitoring and duplicate-record cleanup. Customers referenced on HICX's site include Mondelez International, AutoNation, EDF Energy, BAE Systems and Baker Hughes; the company cites a client connecting 20 ERP instances within 12 months and an 86% reduction in average supplier onboarding time.
