NORAMARK Concepts - Tier Access and Features

A Offline

General Overview

Tier 1 users enjoy full visibility and control. They can explore and grow their network, view affiliated users, manage relationships, and use NORAMARK to analyze and expand their supply chain—both manually and through auto-pairing recommendations.

Tier 2 users are discoverable and connected but with more limited visibility. They can research and follow Manufacturers, access forums and calendars, and receive pairing suggestions for mentees, but supply chain expansion is manual and constrained without full network access.

Tier 3 users play a quieter role. They are not visible in search but can be found through affiliations with Organizations. They can follow profiles, join community forums, and receive messages, but do not initiate direct connections or supply chain research beyond basic forum use.
