VENDOR MANAGEMENT

Vendor Management is a powerful supplier profiling and database tool that allows buying organisations to build sophisticated strategic sourcing databases. It also gives suppliers access to relevant category specific opportunities, quickly and efficiently.

The Vendor Management module allows complete integration with the Tender Management tool for supplier registration and profiling. The tool optimises all aspects of the relationship with current and potential suppliers, reducing the time and effort invested by buyers and suppliers through standardised, collaborative, and automated web based procedures.

Efficient Supplier Responses

RFIs / RFPs can be created with the help of Vendor Management questions. Once the questions and forms have been created, the buyer is able to choose from a list of questions to include in their RFI / RFP. These questions form part of the suppliers' registration form and profile. Suppliers benefit as they only have to answer these questions once in their registration data and their response will be pre-populated into the RFI / RFP.
