Continuous supplier evaluation

Real-time scoring

Supplier evaluation usually relies on an annual review that bears little relation to the past twelve months of operations. Early warning signs, repeated delays, slipping quality, financial strain, show up in the data well before the review, and the incident happens in between.

Sourcing new suppliers

Finding new suppliers to diversify a panel or replace a failing provider takes exploratory work that schedules rarely allow. The search then stays within the address book, which brings back the same players and overlooks candidates better placed on price or CSR criteria.

Supplier contract deadline tracking

Research by World Commerce & Contracting with Deloitte, covering more than 1,200 organisations, estimates that 8.6% of contract value erodes after signature for lack of follow-up on commitments and deadlines. A missed automatic renewal costs 10 to 15% more than terms renegotiated in time, and the information sits in spreadsheets and shared calendars.

Supplier bid comparison and scoring

Comparing commercial proposals that differ in format and scope first means making them comparable. Buyers spend hours copying data into a common spreadsheet, and the real weighting of criteria shifts from one file to the next depending on who handles it.
