Vendora

Purchasing processes can be digitised and decisions based on facts rather than assumptions, the company says, through Vendora, its online web-based vendor connectivity portal.

From forecast to payment

The vendor management software covers a chain of buying steps: forecast management, purchase orders, scheduling, advance shipment notifications (ASN), quality check updates, goods receipt notes (GRN) and invoice tracking. A buyer and a supplier can follow one order from planning through delivery and billing in the same portal.

Communication with vendors

A two-way messaging system with ticketing lets buyers and vendors raise and answer questions inside the portal. An auto mailer sends notifications.

Reviewing vendors

Vendor review and rating features, together with a dashboard and reports, let a company judge how its suppliers are performing, which is how Vendora supports its aim of decisions based on recorded facts.
