Supplier information collection in sourcing
Collect structured supplier data during RFx so the master stays complete for risk, diversity, and P2P.
What this video covers
- Supplier information is collected inside the RFx itself, so the data arrives structured at the moment the supplier is most motivated to provide it.
- Certifications, diversity classifications and risk attributes captured during an event populate the supplier master directly, with no re-keying step.
- A complete master is what lets risk, diversity reporting and procure-to-pay run afterwards without a fresh data pull.
- Because collection is standardized across events, the same supplier is not re-interviewed by every business unit that sources from them.
- One structured intake serves several downstream obligations at once, because the same submission feeds diversity classification, risk scoring and purchasing.
