    Supplier Management Process

    A better, faster way to Manage Suppliers

    Streamline Registration

    Suppliers quickly register with the system using a step-by-step wizard format. Once registered, they can easily maintain their profile, search for events, and view their past activity.

    Increase Engagement

    Choose from a variety of methods to notify key suppliers, including commodity categories, custom classifications, geography, and more!

    Improve Communication

    Easily respond to supplier questions submitted through the system. You have full control over who can see the questions and answers.

    Centralize Information

    Our supplier management software is configurable to gather the supplier data that is important to you. The system makes it easy to search, categorize and export vendor data.

    Simplify Supplier Registration

    It takes the average supplier a few minutes to create and register their account in your supplier portal. Our streamlined registration process saves time and ensures accuracy as they get set up in your system.

    Intelligent safeguards are in place to ensure your supplier information is accurate and reliable. Our supplier relationship management solution checks the information of current suppliers against information from registering suppliers to prevent duplicates.

    Self-Service Supplier Tools

    Displayed immediately when suppliers log in, our dashboard quickly informs users of their relevant bid information. From here they will be able to see the status and respond to their bids. Multiple vendor user accounts can collaborate simultaneously on solicitations.

    GROUP & ORGANIZE SUPPLIERS

    Organize your supplier database by a variety of logical grouping associations. Organizing your suppliers into custom groups allows you to target a more specific group of suppliers based on your specific needs and/or organizational goals. Organized supplier groups can be saved to a list for continuous reuse. Commodity and Diversity based lists are actively managed and updated in real-time.

    Air-tight auditing of the whole process

    Gain full visibility into supplier activity with our robust system auditing. Automatic auditing provides you with the details you need when defending a bid protest. Field level auditing across supplier profiles tracks changes made by the users.

Leveraging accurate data at the right time helps ensure that you are making the best sourcing decision possible and allows you to have confidence in the choices you make. The vendor profile, participation, and performance information is readily compiled into easy-to-read reports that can quickly be exported and distributed to key stakeholders.

    Track Key Vendor KPI's

    Easily track important metrics like suppliers by commodity code, email engagement rates, suppliers by diversity code, and more.

    Promote & Report on Diversity

    Target, track, and report across any/all minority & diversity codes. Built-in reports display real-time calculations of dollars awarded by classifications & diversity codes.

    Eliminate Bottlenecks

    Quickly identify solicitations where vendor outreach may be limited, vendor participation is low, or when vendors get stuck in certain stages of the bid process.

    Competition Commitment

    Unlike other vendor management systems, we refuse to charge vendors needless fees. Since day one we have understood the negative impact of charging vendors unnecessary fees to participate in solicitations. Doing so can significantly limit competition by introducing unnecessary barriers to suppliers. That is why we are proud of and committed to offering these services without charging vendors.
