Software for supplier management

    Cooperation with suppliers does not always run as smoothly as desired. Therefore, the entire procurement process and communication with suppliers should be systematically controlled. Precise, seamless and strategic supplier management is essential for companies in all industries. REMIRA software helps you to operationally optimize and digitize the interaction between companies and suppliers and thus increase the quality of cooperation.

    Strategic supplier management for corporate success

    Nowadays, no company can do without the strategic management of relationships with its suppliers, because a high level of trust in delivery reliability is the basis for a functioning supply chain. Supplier delivery reliability and delivery accuracy are two fundamentally important prerequisites for a company's success. Precise, seamless supplier management is therefore indispensable in industry and trade. If, for example, agreed delivery and production times are not met, the entire scheduling process falls behind. In such situations, rapid response times are required. Automatic escalation/warning messages ensure that critical situations are quickly identified and systematically dealt with using the management by exception method. Supplier management takes care of the selection of suppliers, monitors the development of the supplier's performance level and decides at which level the supplier should be included in the value chain.

    Specialized software for supplier management

    Supplier management software helps to digitize purchasing. For example, the development of a reliable supplier base can be driven forward. Supplier management therefore shapes and directs the general relationship between suppliers and customers. This includes supplier evaluation, supplier development, supplier integration and supplier controlling.

    Strategic supplier management at a glance

    Supplier management, or supplier relationship management software (SRM), encompasses all activities within the procurement process that serve to supply the company with materials, labor, operating resources and services. Supplier management includes supplier identification, narrowing down, analysis, supplier evaluation and supplier selection as well as supplier controlling.

    The prerequisite: a high level of transparency and standardized processes with suppliers. Only in this way can declining performance or failures be recognized at an early stage and countermeasures taken. Automated checks result in evaluations and reports that the purchasing team can use to answer strategic and operational questions.

    Particularly in risk management, software with appropriate functions enables companies to receive information and react at an early stage. A supplier management system also helps to select and qualify the right suppliers so that the company's requirements can be met in the best possible way.

    You can achieve greater benefits in the supply chain with efficient supplier management. By integrating suppliers with intuitive and digital workflows, you simplify processes and uncover new opportunities and potential.

    Advantages of a system for strategic supplier management

    Those responsible for purchasing and procurement often face major challenges. The purchasing department is an important interface and must not only organize suppliers, but also place orders, check order confirmations and communicate with (intra) logistics. Many departments are still working with outdated technology - a no-go in times of digitalization.

    Software helps to digitize purchasing and visualize the right key figures. Traditional ERP systems quickly reach their limits here. For example, the development of a reliable supplier base can be driven forward. Successful operational supplier management reduces procurement costs and optimizes the procurement process. At the same time, adherence to delivery dates is improved and the performance of individual suppliers is made transparent. In this way, the performance of individual suppliers is made transparent and delivery quality is continuously improved. Today, good supplier management is the key to success.
