Interface with suppliers, internal teams and compliance stakeholders to maintain the highest standards of supplier performance throughout the full lifecycle.

For example,

  • Assign a credit request to the business stakeholder if a supplier hasn’t met their uptime SLA.

  • Request additional documentation to support a new ESG requirement a legacy supplier hadn’t previously completed.

  • Kick off a sourcing request if a supplier has failed to meet minimum requirements and you need to find a replacement.
