I started as a graduate at Foods Connected nearly ten years ago progressing to Senior Implementation Manager – and today I’m the Product Owner for Supplier Approval & Compliance. So, as you can imagine, during my time in the business I’ve spent a lot of time on the platform. My subject matter expertise has been invaluable while I’ve been working on the modernisation project. Talking to our customers I was able to pin point exactly what they needed from the beginning – and was genuinely excited about being part of the team bringing it to life. Now that the Beta is live, I wanted to share what the new experience actually looks like from the inside. ## Your new starting point: Connected Start The first thing you'll notice after logging in is a banner running across the top of your legacy homepage. Click Preview the new experience and it takes you straight through to [Connected Start](https://app.foodsconnected.com/start/) — our redesigned dashboard and the home base for everything you do on the platform. What I love about Connected Start is that it was built around how people actually work. Rather than a generic landing page, you land on a dashboard showing your most used applications, the latest platform updates, and your open tasks – all in one place. The Pin to Apps section is where it gets personal. You choose which applications appear on your dashboard and drag them into whatever order makes sense for your role. No two people's dashboards need to look the same. If you want to explore beyond your pinned apps, you can open the full apps directory, search by name, browse what's available, and pin anything you want from there. Tasks are front and centre too. The banner at the top of the page gives you a live count of your open tasks, with your top five visible at a glance. Click through and you'll see everything assigned to you across every application — filterable by creator, date or assignee. It's a simple thing, but having that single view of your workload, across all your apps, makes a real difference to your day. And if you ever need to step back to the classic app, you can do that at any time. Your data, workflows, and settings stay exactly as they are – nothing changes when you toggle between the two versions. ## Into the new Supplier Manager [Supplier Manager](https://app.foodsconnected.com/supplier-manager/) is our most widely used application, so it was the natural starting point for the modernisation project. The new experience has been rebuilt from the ground up with speed and usability at the forefront – and that came directly from listening to customers during our pilot phase. Speed was the number one piece of feedback we heard. The new Supplier Manager is noticeably faster, and users in our pilot consistently called it out as one of the most significant improvements. When you're working through supplier profiles, tasks, and compliance actions every day, that performance difference adds up. The interface itself is cleaner and more intuitive. Supplier information is easier to navigate, search is more responsive, and the actions you need to take are surfaced more clearly. Whether you're reviewing a supplier profile, working through compliance tasks, or checking in on actions across your supply base, the new experience is designed to get you where you need to go faster. ## The Knowledge Base Alongside the new Supplier Manager, we've also launched Knowledge Base – a built-in resource designed to support you as you find your feet in the new experience. You don't need to open a separate website or leave the platform to get help. The Knowledge Base is right there when you need it, with articles and guidance covering exactly what you're working on. It's the fastest way to find an answer and keep moving. ## What's next The new Supplier Manager is the first step in a wider modernisation project that will continue throughout 2026. More apps are being updated, and the same principles – speed, simplicity, and building around what users actually need – will carry through all of them. If you haven't tried the new experience yet, I'd encourage you to click that banner and take a look. And as always, if you have feedback, we want to hear it. This project has been shaped by our customers from the start, and that's not changing. --- Want to see the new Supplier Manager in action?
