Cloudia Supplier Management is a tool for maintaining supplier relationships and categorising and assessing suppliers. The purpose of the system is to provide the user with a summary of supplier information and to categorise suppliers in the way chosen by the user. At the same time, the tool enables communication with the supplier and supports the process of maintaining the supplier relationship.
The user can categorise suppliers and send criteria surveys directly to suppliers. A supplier can be assigned to a specific category created by the Supplier Management user. Suppliers can be requested to register to the category on the registration pages.
The system generates a scoring for the suppliers within the category, enabling the user to assess the suppliers’ reliability and potential risks in the procurement process.

- Home page
