Questionnaires and Data Feeds

Be in the know.

Your employees know which suppliers are on time, provide the best pricing and have the best product quality. But this knowledge is scattered across multiple employees, departments and systems. Prebuilt questionnaires help you gather the knowledge about your suppliers into one place to give you visibility and information to take action. All questionnaires are based on industry best practices and are configurable to your unique requirements. Integration with internal and production systems that capture other key supplier metrics offers an even more complete picture of supplier performance, all in one dashboard.
