Supplier Information Management (Profiles)

The more you know about your suppliers the better.

Collect, store, and maintain business-critical information about suppliers with profiles. By creating custom profiles with fields and supporting documents to meet your unique business needs, you can collect data about potential suppliers and store it in a centralized location. Increasing your organization's knowledge of your supply base offers the following benefits:

Broaden visibility into supplier capabilities so you can make smarter sourcing decisions and minimize supply risk.
Minimize time, labor and inaccuracies by allowing supplier companies to enter and submit their own data. The review feature allows you to verify or reject individual pieces of information in the profile.
Minimize supplier risk issues by weeding out unqualified suppliers early in the sourcing project.
Keep profile information up-to-date by assigning expiration dates to supporting documents and triggering automatic email notifications to internal and external users.
Increase competition by allowing suppliers to find your company and introduce themselves via a self-registration link on your website.
Self-registration: Get suppliers on board quickly and easily while also reducing the time your team takes to manage supplier profiles. With the self-registration option, you post a link to a Supplier Management URL on your public (or private) website so that suppliers can register themselves by submitting profile information.
