Digitize your Collaboration with your preferred Suppliers

A software that enables you to manage the lifecycle of your preferred suppliers. It allows you to have a complete overview of your supplier delivery and an easy way to add additional services to their scope.

The problem

Customers have 10+ preferred suppliers with significant volume of work across the globe

Every preferred supplier has 10 – 50 ongoing engagements across various domains

Unstructured data in Office documents:
– Frame contract(s)
– Many SOWs
– Weekly / monthly presentations with KPIs
– Improvement lists
– CRs

This unstructured data makes it difficult to manage a preferred supplier across services / domains / regions
