Supplier Data Audit (SDA) Solution

The challenge: Maintaining operational efficiencies and maximising sourcing opportunities based on accurate & comprehensive supplier information.

It is widely acknowledged that supplier information such as key company & support information, supplier capabilities, legal and compliance data, transactional
information for ERP systems & service/product or pricing details is currently held either statically or, if maintained, disparately throughout the back-office systems of
large organisations.

The solution: based on the disparate nature of current supplier information & the typically scant nature of the internally held "vendor data" , the SDA delivers a categorised "Supplier Information Management" solution containing a comprehensive level of supplier information for any number of suppliers addressing detailed data for each supplier such as:

  • Company Info
  • Categorisation & capabilities
  • Customer Support
  • Account Support
  • Legal & Compliance (e.g.ISO, SOX, HACCP compliance, C2 Certificates, Tax Clearance Certs...)
  • Service/ Product management
  • Finanical data ( for ERP data cleansing & validation if required) and
  • Other information specifically required by the organisation

The Web-based "Supplier Data Health Check" audit process delivers this information in a single source  benefiting staff across functions such as
Procurement, Supply Chain, IT , Finance, Operations & Legal.

According to the Experts:
  • Accurate data "enables orgainisations to make faster, more confident business decisions" - Information Age April 2007;
  • Only 7% of 1,100 IT decision-makers said data was "highly centralised" with the majority indicating that data was "highly dispersed" or "moderately dispersed" - Information Age April 2007;
  • "At the heart of relationship management is the need for facts, data & objective guiding principles" - CPO Agenda December 2007;
