Vendor Management
Vendor management is the word used to characterize the procedures companies use in order to handle their vendors—that is, suppliers. Activities in vendor management include choosing suppliers, negotiating contracts, cost control, vendor-related risk reduction, and guarantees of service performance.
Depending on the type of business, the vendors a firm uses would differ greatly; they could range from businesses as varied as seafood suppliers, IT providers, cleaners, and marketing consultants. Size ranges for vendors can vary from individual traders to big companies.
Limitations of Conventional Vendor Management
Standard vendor management has many difficult tasks. Manual procedures depending on emails, spreadsheets, and phone conversations bring inefficiencies, mistakes, and limited views. Tracking difficult-to-monitor communication with suppliers could cause delays, misinterpretation, and missing deadlines. Furthermore lacking is a centralized system for monitoring vendor performance, spotting important indicators, and basing data-driven decisions. Finding and assessing new suppliers can take time and effort involving extensive searches, contract negotiations, and qualifying assessments. Due to delays, mistakes, and the necessity of extra resources, these inefficiencies and hand-made procedures finally help to drive higher cost.
