What advances do the indigenous businesses make when in mentorship of Supply Nation?
Supply Nation provides Australia’s largest national directory of verified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses.

Supply Nation is the largest, verified database of indigenous businesses in all of Australia with over two thousand one hundred listings and growing. The indigenous businesses have to register their details and the upload the aboriginal or Torres descent document and once verification is complete , typically within four days the indigenous businesses have their businesses listed on the database which gives them a great deal of visibility. There are host of other facilities and access to all kinds of software and technologies are made available to them. There are mentors who guide the indigenous business owners through the maze of growth and expansion while advancing their techniques and adopting the latest technology. There are lots of indigenous businesses that are in dire need of suppliers who would add to their resources and customers to buy their produce or the services. Supply Nation being the largest database has the visibility of the government officials who are looking to fulfil their quota of indigenous procurement. The visibility does not stop there, the corporate are looking to make their supplier base diverse as the studies conducted in the United States have shown that a diverse supplier base the does include the minority segments of the society is more innovative or rather adds to the innovation than a supplier base of just the companies operated and owned by the majority community.

Supply Nation is not only the place where indigenous businesses are able to find partners. The Supply Nation totally transforms the indigenous businesses. The power of the software is understated; the different software can make the businesses more efficient. These days with marketing automation even things like content creation is being done with the custom software. There are many more ways the software is helpful to the growth and efficiency of the businesses. If there is an indigenous business that deals with articles made by the indigenous people. Those products themselves can be part mechanised and automated. With the advent of 3D printers, the computer aided designers can print complex patterns in 3 D that are at times superior to the ones made by the humans who work with their hands and 3D printing can make the printing and hence the making of the products much faster. Let’s take the example of wood work that many indigenous people are into. Carving wood takes time with the design in the minds of the woodworker. When the design of a wood work is uploaded into the computer there are computer operated lathes that can machine the piece of the wood log into the desired shape and form at speeds that are way faster than what a wood carver works at. Even in cases of stone carving the Computer operated and programmed lathes can do wonders. Intricate designs can be carved on both the wood and the stones with the CNC lathes.

The above was an example of how production can be revolutionised with the combination of software and the hardware. Once the product or the batches of products are ready for sale the marketing automation can make the task of content creation for the different internet media an activity that takes seconds. The programmers have to do their part and the product will be marketed across all the digital channels. There is the pay per click advertisements through which the prospective customers would land on the landing page with the presumption that there is a website that lists the products and there are arrangements already in place to ship the product to the customers place. These may sound so easy but are intricate jobs.
The programmers who program the marketing automation software have to have the knowledge of things like natural language processing and deep learning. Supply Nation is taking the case each of the aboriginal business Australia based to the level of the some of the most technology savvy companies in the world by selecting the best software platform and templates for these businesses.
