How to Reduce Workload & Shorten Onboarding Time for Procurement teams and Their Suppliers

by April Harrison

Buyers and Suppliers have a common goal: to transact. Often standing in their way is an intensive administrative workload to provide and maintain critical business information.

The traditional process of validation & qualification is slow and cumbersome for both purchasing teams and suppliers.

Suppliers must submit their information to each buyer in different formats. Buyers must review supplier information and ratings to meet compliance regulations. These highly manual and repetitive steps result in long lead times to their first transaction.

Trust Your Supplier frees both buyers and suppliers from redundant administrative work with a seamless exchange of information, increased visibility, and embedded third-party risk management. In this short video, hear how TYS works for Glaxo-Smith-Kline managing their supplier relationships.

One cumbersome aspect of the supply chain process is collecting and maintaining accurate and validated supplier information. Intensive administrative work is required from both suppliers and buyers to ensure accurate data to minimize risk.

The traditional qualification, validation. and onboarding processes require suppliers to submit their information to each buyer in different formats. For or buyers, compliance regulations demand reviews of supplier information and ratings.
