OVERVIEW

Advanced Supplier Management: Anticipate. Plan. Achieve.

Advanced Supplier Management helps organisations to thrive in an increasingly unpredictable environment.

Our supplier management solution puts you in the driver’s seat for contract negotiations, by providing clear visibility of all your contracts and suppliers in one centralised location.

Visibility of suppliers is one of the main priorities for procurement teams. Whether your organisation is within the NHS, higher education, local government, or the private sector, we have a solution that enables your team to build effective supplier relationships (while improving supplier performance too).

“We highly recommend Advanced Supplier Management as a contract and supplier lifecycle management platform, as it gives organisations complete control and visibility of any task, process, or performance-related aspect of managing contracts/suppliers.”

Bruce McClintock, Partner at Chapman Tripp
