Al Ali explained that the Tawreed platform will enhance suppliers' experience thanks to its updated interfaces that are easy to use and responsive, with designs that match global-best standards, noting that the platform aims to "Simplify the supplier journey by innovatively facilitating the processes of registration, renewal, and follow-up, as well as the interaction of suppliers with the platform in terms of uploading documents and the automatic filling of information, thereby creating an easy and smooth customer journey."
