Description

Simplain Vendor Portal is used by some of the leading retailers in the world to streamline their supplier collaboration. By implementing the solution, retailers and wholesalers can realize immediate gains in productivity, speed to market and establish a solid foundation for other digital transformation initiatives. The platform helps facilitate workflow driven collaboration / negotiation with suppliers for key business processes such as Vendor Onboarding, Item Management, Cost management, Deals & Promotions management, Purchase Order Management & Invoice Management. Simplain Vendor Portal is capable of integrating with GDSN providers to synchronize item attributes, nutritional and product certifications and digital assets. The system also provides REST APIs for bidirectional communication with the back end ERP systems. By making the suppliers accountable for their own data, Vendor Portal helps retailers achieve better data quality and gather richer data.

Description

Stimulus leverages data and analytics to assist companies in making improved purchasing decisions that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. The existing method for searching, selecting, and assessing suppliers is cumbersome and lacks efficiency. There is currently no standardized set of criteria or methodology for evaluating suppliers or identifying alternative options. Within the Stimulus ecosystem, businesses can discover qualified suppliers. By utilizing the Stimulus API, organizations can aggregate data from multiple sources, ensuring a unified source of truth. Additionally, it enables effective management of supplier relationships by monitoring expenditure, ongoing projects, and their status—whether considered, qualified, shortlisted, or awarded. With the capability to create projects tailored to specific goals and criteria, businesses can assess vendors' performance comprehensively throughout the entire process, enhancing decision-making and outcomes. Ultimately, this approach streamlines procurement and fosters a more inclusive supply chain.
