SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT
Narrow your suppliers down to the best partnerships via the proven insight of a supply chain expert.
TRUCKS
IN A ROW
One partner to haul, another to process, a third to submit reports and a fourth to track progress. The fifth? We forgot.​
A diverse and active supply chain can end up with many different suppliers providing small, but critical services...
... or so it can seem. When reducing costs with an eye toward efficiency, it can be difficult to know what - and who - you really need without years of supply chain management experience.
​
That's where we come in.
​
Reducing vendor bloat and improving communication with your suppliers is just part of the overhaul we'll give your roster - finding better ways to use the connections you have is one of the innovative approaches that makes us unique, and makes you successful.
HOW IT WORKS:
Managing vendor relationships is key to a company's ongoing success and it is critical to growth strategies. The global supply chain becomes more complex all the time with compliance, tariff, and regulatory rules almost constantly changing.
We have over 40 years of experience with global vendor and partner management, and we'll start putting it to work for you by helping rationalize your current vendor and partner strategy and optimize your holistic supply chain. Once the holistic supply chain is optimized, we will guide your team in creating a partner dashboard that will track the overall performance of the supply chain. Examples of dashboard elements include:
TECHNOLOGY
Does your vendor have a technology roadmap so that you have access to the latest technologies through them?
QUALITY
You can't outsource quality. Use a vendor tracking system to ensure your overall quality is to your standards.
AND MORE
Other elements include Delivery, Responsiveness, Cost, Risk, and Corporate Social Responsibility.
