Vendor Management

A directory and review workspace for the suppliers a business works with.

Supplier information needs maintenance as contacts, documents and terms change. Purchasing staff can use a vendor workspace to check the current approved details before starting work. It is particularly useful when several departments use the same suppliers but hold different versions of their information.

What it manages

Vendor records can hold contacts, supplied services, documents, commercial terms and review notes. Approval status distinguishes a proposed supplier from one cleared for use. The system supports purchasing decisions; it does not independently certify a supplier's financial or legal suitability.

03

How it works in a business

Staff add a proposed vendor and collect the required information. A reviewer checks the documents and approves the supplier for the relevant work. Later reviews record performance issues, expiring documents or changed contacts so purchasing uses current information.

04

What SFn can customise

SFn can define vendor fields, document requirements and review stages. Purchase requests or supplier portals can be connected. Access to sensitive commercial terms should be limited to the roles responsible for procurement and supplier review.
