How managedsuppliers Drives Continuous Supplier Improvement
Nowadays, effective supplier management requires more than just signing contracts once – it demands continuous improvement. However, tracking vendor performance through spreadsheets and re-negotiating terms through time-consuming mails is just not the right way to make supplier relationships stronger, optimize for performance, reduce costs or improve the service delivery.
In this blog, we’ll explore how the Improvement feature in managedsuppliers streamlines supplier performance management, making it easy for enterprises to track, manage, and enhance supplier relationships across all engagements.
The Challenge: Ensuring Continuous Supplier Improvement
Supplier relationships are dynamic. Throughout a contract’s lifecycle, issues in service delivery, compliance, or cost efficiency can arise, requiring proactive management. Yet, traditional tracking methods (emails, spreadsheets) lead to missed opportunities and slow progress. Without a centralized, structured approach, improvement plans may stagnate, impacting overall supplier performance.
