Maintains vendor master data, tracks compliance and certifications, monitors contract terms and renewals, analyzes performance, and identifies consolidation opportunities—turning vendor chaos into strategic advantage. All on your infrastructure.
"We have 847 vendors in our system. I couldn't tell you what 80% of them do or whether their contracts are current. We found out we'd been paying a vendor for 18 months after we stopped using their service—nobody turned off the auto-pay. We have vendors we can't find contracts for at all. We have three different vendors who are actually the same company acquired twice. Our insurance certificates? I'm sure some are expired—we just don't know which ones. When our auditors ask questions, we spend days assembling answers that should take minutes. It's embarrassing. And expensive."
