# Add your first supplier

Adding your first supplier is a simple task on Harpe, we also give lots of options so that you can manage them easy.

1. Go to your organisation's Harpe page.
2. Click on `Suppliers` on the left hand navigation bar. You will see a page as pictured below.

3. Click on the `New` button to add a new supplier.
4. The following form will pop up, allowing you to fill in your supplier details. There are three sections for each supplier - `General Information` (as pictured below), `Assurance`, and `Disaster Recovery`. For a comprehensive and compliant record, it is recommended to fill out all these fields. These can be filled out later if desired as supplier compliance is tracked on the main Suppliers page.
