Onboard Suppliers

Automate the Process with the Ketera Network

Most customers and analysts agree that inability to bring a majority of suppliers online is the #1 roadblock to the success of eProcurement initiatives. AMR, the leading supply chain analyst firm, said it best "Do not underestimate work needed to get suppliers on board. Whether you′re a buyer or an exchange trying to get your supplier online, a great deal of work is necessary." To see some of your specific challenges and how you can address them, please select your company size:

You have deployed your eProcurement system. Now your biggest challenge is on boarding your suppliers (especially small and medium suppliers), so you can get the benefits you expected from the system. You have to assist these suppliers with catalog creation, translation, content augmentation, approval, and final posting, so their catalog can be accessed through your system. In addition, you need to ensure you can keep supplier catalogs current on an ongoing basis - product and price changes, new content, translations, content augmentation, streamlined approval workflow etc. How do you achieve all this with your limited budget?
