Avanade Vendor Management

Advanced Vendor Management goes beyond the Microsoft Dynamics quality management standard by supporting any useful assessment parameters. Set, combine, and weight evaluation criteria for vendors, including, for example, timeliness of deliveries, partial deliveries, consistency of items within your specifications, or invoicing accuracy. The resulting numeric vendor rating lets you rank and manage vendors individually, and classify them in supplier categories. Analyze changes in vendor performance over time, and use data evidence in vendor negotiations. Timely quotation, order confirmation, and delivery reminders configured to your business rules help avoid delayed quotes, missed orders, past-due deliveries, shortages, and losses in sales and customer goodwill
