Organizations prioritize efficient supplier management to ensure business continuity, consistency, and quality. Various stakeholders play vital roles in supplier life cycle activities such as onboarding, risk management, performance management, governance, and collaboration. Traditionally, organizations relied on manual processes and spreadsheets for supplier management.
