Simplify supplier onboarding with self-service registration.

Manual onboarding processes can be slow, inconsistent, and difficult to track. The Prospective Suppliers module streamlines early-stage onboarding by allowing suppliers to register and submit required information through a self-service portal. Smart questionnaires, document capture, and a clear audit trail help you evaluate suppliers efficiently and transition approved ones into active management.

Centralise and automate your contract management

While most CLM tools focus on the commercial aspects of a contract, Supplierbase takes a broader approach in the context of SRM. It not only manages governance, compliance and performance for contractual relationships, but also provides the basis for advanced relationship management aspects such as innovation and initiative management. Managing supplier contracts across systems and folders can result in missed milestones and limited visibility. The Contracts module centralises everything, providing automated alerts, structured workflows and a full audit trail to reduce risk and save time.

Track and improve supplier performance in real time

Inconsistent KPIs and scattered reporting make it difficult to compare supplier performance and drive improvements. The Performance module automates scoring, normalises scores to enable benchmarking of suppliers against each other, and provides performance alerts and corrective actions, as well as real-time insights for continuous improvement.

Proactively manage supplier risk and compliance

Go beyond a risk registry and risk data graphs by capturing live contractual risks and issues as they arise, applying mitigation actions and monitoring progress to reduce the risks. Focus on the key risk trends impacting your business and suppliers, and encourage your team to direct their efforts towards the areas that matter most.

Build stronger supplier relationships with joint planning and feedback

A lack of structure and visibility can hinder collaboration and delay progress with key suppliers. The Relationship module enables you to manage joint plans, meetings and actions all in one place. You can standardise engagement based on supplier importance and use 360° feedback to strengthen relationships, drive accountability and support continuous improvement. Visualise all aspects of the supplier relationship in customisable templates that show real-time data.

Turn supplier ideas into real business value.

Unstructured innovation efforts often result in missed opportunities and a lack of follow-through. Foster innovation with a true extended enterprise approach and elevate your suppliers' expertise, powered by your organisational leadership. The Innovation module provides a clear, collaborative process for capturing, reviewing and implementing supplier ideas. You can set targeted challenges or invite open submissions, then evaluate and progress approved innovations into projects — all within a transparent, trackable workflow.

Create a central hub for real-time supplier insights that support your ESG targets

Scattered supplier data makes it difficult to identify risks and opportunities. The Intelligence/ESG module centralises key supplier information from SupplierBase and external systems, providing accurate, real-time visibility. Suppliers can maintain their own profiles and company information, while automated workflows and data checks help to maintain quality, enabling you to make smarter decisions in all areas of supplier management, including your ESG goals.

Turn supplier data into actionable insight.

Limited visibility and disconnected reporting make it hard to track performance or drive improvement. The Reporting module brings together data from across SupplierBase into clear, customisable dashboards and reports. Monitor key metrics in real time, create executive-level summaries, and support faster decision-making across the business.
