Supplier Information Management System
The obvious things are easy. Contact information, financials and registration numbers are a given. But what about risk factors? Social media profiles? Corporate, environmental and legal responsibilities. How about insurance and regulatory certifications? Not to mention labor relations and employment practices. All these and more can change over time. And chances are your accounts payable and ERP systems can handle only a tiny fraction of all that information. What’s more, as you adopt new practices yourselves, it is likely that you would expect the same from your suppliers, and that means even more data to manage.
