Vendor Management
Vendor management tracks and controls spending with external suppliers, ensuring compliance and cost efficiency. The platform categorizes vendors, enforces approved lists, and flags duplicates or suspicious activity. Spend reports by vendor or department support negotiations and budgeting. Integration with ERP systems streamlines onboarding and payments. This reduces off-contract purchases, enhances policy adherence, and provides visibility into spending patterns, enabling finance teams to optimize vendor relationships and drive strategic cost savings.
