Solutions · Diversity program
Supplier diversity management goals you can prove.
Gainfront Diversity is an AI/ML platform that connects to your ERP and other systems. It cuts procurement costs and helps your team set and track Tier 1 and Tier 2 diversity spend goals.
The fracture
Goals on a slide. Not in the master.
A program with no shared supplier record cannot prove Tier 1 or Tier 2 goals, no matter how well the policy reads.
- 01
No leadership plan
A program with no policy backed by leadership never reaches the procurement process it needs to sit inside.
- 02
Tier 2 blind spots
Primes rarely report Tier 2 spend right without a concierge process that tracks each reporting period.
- 03
Diverse suppliers missed
Buyers cannot find diverse suppliers without a database of net-new candidates to search.
Definition
What is supplier diversity management?
Supplier diversity management sets goals for spend with diverse-owned suppliers and tracks progress against them. An inclusive procurement strategy widens the supplier pool and increases competition, which can improve quality and lower cost. A 2015 study by The Hackett Group found that supplier diversity can add an average of $3.6 million to the bottom line for every $1 million in procurement costs.
Diversity program
Seven goals for a program that holds up.
Gainfront ties each program goal to the same supplier record used for sourcing, risk, and spend.
Corporate development plan
A policy backed by leadership, tied to the overall procurement process. Customers have seen over a 60% increase in diversity spend and a 26% increase in overall savings.
Tier 1 goals
Set and track goals by diversity classification. Direct and indirect spend reporting uses automated allocation-factor calculation.
Tier 2 goals
A concierge service monitors prime spend and reporting periods, with reporting to government and non-government agencies. Customers have seen Tier 2 spend reporting rise over 87%.
Diverse supplier opportunities
The Gainfront database (QLeads) surfaces net-new diverse suppliers for strategic sourcing and supply chain management.
Minority supplier development
A development process that integrates sustainability, compliance, and performance goals.
Economic impact reporting
An Economic Impact Analysis report shows direct, indirect, and induced economic impact.
Benchmark reporting
An annual Tier 1 and Tier 2 benchmark report by industry.
Two ways in
Replace it, or connect it.
Both end inone record.
Rip-and-replace is not the only way to modernise, and orchestration alone doesn't give you the modules to actually run procurement. Gainfront does both, so the entry point matches how your company already operates.
Replace the stack
SLM Suite
One supplier record underneath sourcing, contracts, risk, spend, purchasing, and diversity, instead of stitching point tools forever.
Choose this if
- Need a documented Tier 1/2 program
- Replace spreadsheet-based tracking
What you get
- Single supplier master
- Modules that share the same record
- Reporting without spreadsheet reconciliation
Orchestrate what you own
AgentFlow
Keep Coupa, Ariba, or your ERP. AgentFlow coordinates intake, approvals, and supplier work across the tools you already run.
Choose this if
- Keep S2P; add a diversity layer
What you get
- No rip-and-replace mandate
- Cross-system supplier context
- Faster intake without another silo
