Supplier Problems Create Unhappy Customers and Lost Revenue

From interrupted supply chains to incorrect orders to poor quality components—it only takes one supplier issue to stop a product from going to market and damaging your brand reputation.
Poor Supplier Performance
Supplier quality problems can kill hard fought cost savings and damage brand reputation for years.
Component Shortages
A single delayed component can have a huge impact, causing lost sales and reducing market share.
Collaboration Barriers
Email and spreadsheets are slow, prone to costly data entry errors, and increase the risk of IP theft.

Secure and Efficient Supplier Management

Integrated Collaboration

Share information and communicate with suppliers using a secure solution that’s accessible anywhere in the world. Control exactly which product information is available to individual suppliers while maintaining audit trails for regulatory agencies and sustainability goals.

Component Insights

Mitigate supply chain risk by making informed decisions about components before a problem arises. Intelligence focused on cost, quality, compliance, and availability provides the breadth and depth of information needed to adjust sourcing strategies and keep product lines running.

Supplier Quality

Improve product quality before a product is even built by closely tracking supplier quality and resolving issues faster. Understanding exactly where a component is used across your entire product line—including its full quality history—combined with component insights allows you to choose suppliers with the best quality and help existing suppliers address quality issues quickly.
