Supplier Hub
Supplier Hub
Beginning in April 2018, all vendors and suppliers are required to use Kroger’s centralized vendor management system. The Supplier Hub ensures we know who our suppliers are, that they are assessed for compliance and that every supplier we work with is worthy of our customers’ trust.
If you are a vendor already using the Supplier Hub or you have received an invitation with user id and password, click here to access:

Look for an email invitation from Kroger
When a new vendor is awarded business, your Kroger representative will send you an invitation to update your vendor profile directly in the Supplier Hub.
Existing Kroger Vendors and Suppliers will be invited to update their vendor profile directly in the Supplier Hub. These invites will be sent in phases beginning in April 2018.
Make sure your company is ready by reviewing the list of required information:
