Challenges Faced with Vendor Management Process

Manual data entry

Time-consuming and error-prone data entry led to inaccurate vendor information.

Limited collaboration

Disparate systems hampered communication and collaboration between procurement teams and vendors.

Reactive risk management

The lack of real-time data on vendor performance and risk profiles made it difficult to proactively mitigate risks.

Increased costs

Inaccuracies in vendor data led to missed negotiation opportunities and potential overpayments.

Delays

Finding information about past vendor performance or contract details can be time-consuming and prone to delays, impacting decision-making.

Compliance issues

The lack of visibility into vendor risk profiles increased the risk of non-compliance with regulations.

Lack of Centralized Information

In manual systems, vendor information is often stored in various spreadsheets, emails, or documents. This lack of a centralized database made it challenging to access updated vendor performance data, contracts, or order history in one place.

Difficulty in Managing Large Vendor Networks

As businesses grow, managing relationships with many vendors manually becomes increasingly difficult. Tracking performance, contract terms, and communications for hundreds of vendors can overwhelm manual processes.
