Vendor Case Management Software

OnBase formalizes the vendor request and sourcing process to improve onboarding and ensure the right data and documents are collected up front. Employees complete self-service request forms that the solution automatically routes for approval, eliminating inefficient email and phone call requests. Throughout sourcing and selection, OnBase identifies missing critical vendor details and documents such as missing proof of insurance. The system can automatically notify vendors to provide required documentation, allowing personnel to collect all needed content. A complete record helps mitigate risk of financial and civil penalties or potential reputational damage.

With OnBase, authorized personnel interact with all vendor information throughout the entire relationship – including key data, conversations and supporting documents like bank verifications and risk assessments. This secure, central access to information and supporting content eliminates information silos and time wasted switching between applications.

OnBase even integrates with your accounting system or ERP, displaying vendor service or product data alongside the content in OnBase. Staff easily locate vendor information by searching for key terms, such as vendor name, location or notes added to the file – enabling them to make smarter buying decisions. OnBase also streamlines vendor contract management, providing easy access to contracts and enabling personnel to track key terms and proactively manage milestones. Staff can upload draft contracts directly into OnBase from an email attachment in Outlook, automatically associating them with correct vendor records. The solution automatically tracks contract expirations and auto-renewals and instantly notifies appropriate personnel. This minimizes missed expirations and equips staff to review relationships to ensure they continue to provide value.

Without software, your team has to manually make sure vendors complete documentation and then organize and store that documentation. Information that comes in from vendors through email or paper can often be difficult to decipher or illegible — creating bottlenecks in your processes. Vendor master management software controls the submission and storage of information in the platform and automates the vetting process for vendor submissions. With all communication in a centralized platform, you can keep track of change requests, onboarding status, and payment status.
