Supplier Data Cloud

Supplier Data Cloud reduces supplier onboarding and supplier qualification from weeks to days. It uses a consistent, repeatable process for evaluating, approving and adding new suppliers, complete with automated workflows and standardized processes for merging supplier records.

The cloud solution guides your suppliers through the data requirements for onboarding product catalogs with data enrichment services and the ability to supplement data from data pools. It also simplifies supplier collaboration through task-based workflows that automatically notify suppliers and internal teams when action is needed, building stronger business relationships and supporting strategic sourcing initiatives.

Supplier Data Cloud centrally manages large collections of media assets, automatically locating and formatting assets for any channel using embedded digital asset management.

Get a complete 360° view of relationships between suppliers, parent companies, sub-suppliers and subsidiaries for better decision-making on pricing and payment term negotiation.

Supplier Data Cloud uses automation, matching and business rules to enforce data integrity standards for completeness and format. It validates supplier information and enriches data using third-party data sources such as D&B and GBG Loqate. It also identifies and removes duplicate, dormant or poorly performing accounts.

The solution enables you to build different supplier hierarchies based on commercial, geographical, territorial and financial needs. It also helps you organize supplier items in multiple hierarchies for different markets using classification rules and flexible search capabilities. This gives your ERP and other core systems a reliable, accurate foundation to build from.

Use built-in data governance capabilities to consolidate, cleanse, deduplicate and synchronize supplier data and item information across your data management system, resulting in more data security, fewer data silos and better data integrity at every step.

Supplier Data Cloud enforces data policy management rules with automated processes to ensure your data meets quality requirements and parameters for completeness, timeliness, validity, accuracy and consistency.

Supplier Data Cloud centrally manages supplier contracts, certifications, accreditations and performance metrics. This centralized system automatically purges end-of-life data, including the removal of inactive suppliers and their associated products, to reduce disruptions and mitigate supply chain risks.

You can track compliance using workflow-based tools that support self-assessment questionnaires and supplier audits, and you can even centrally flag and block suppliers partially or wholly when out of compliance. Our configurable, role-based dashboards provide real-time visibility into supplier performance and scorecards to support your ESG and sustainability goals.
