Supplier
Manager
Category One’s Supplier Manager Tool supports you in the
research, evaluation and selection of your suppliers.
There is more to a supplier than just hard facts such as turnover,
number of production sites, number of employees and storage
capacity. After all, you never know whether the information
you have stored is up to date. The important information is
background information. This information can be product specific,
or personal information about the supplier. In the absence
of centrally administered data, standardized information regarding
the supplier-customer relationship is unlikely to be available.
The Category One Supplier Tool enables you to ask the right questions.
All buyers have access to the Supplier Tool so everyone can
enter the required information and consequently, supplier
data is linked to purchasing data.
There are two ways to search for new suppliers. On the one
hand you have the option to ask your colleagues which suppliers
they know and can trust.
On the other hand there are databases such as Dun & Bradstreet
which offer information on suppliers in different markets.
The problem with both options is that they are very time-consuming.
As there is no central database where your colleagues can
store the information, you have to ask for individual input,
which may not necessarily be forthcoming. If you want to use
the databases, they are expensive and do not guarantee success.
The Supplier Manager Tool offers you a time saving method.
All you need to do is ask the supplier to fill in the questionnaire.
You get access to all the supplier data you need at your fingertips.
