Procurence is proud to announce that we will be sponsoring this year's BEST SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE award category
At Procurence we are passionate about SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (#SRM) - it lies at the core of our product and it is tightly in all the other functionalities. But we also know that a flexible software platform is just one part of an equation and a successful implementation of SRM always poses an organisational challenge. That is why we are always rooting for organisations that put the time and the effort to get the most out of supplier management.
This year there are a number of outstanding contestants for the CIPS - The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply Procurement Excellence Award and we applaud them all. But ... let the best team win!

The Vendors Portal project was all-in-one solution and initiative that aimed to resolve different challenges we had, including delayed payments, inaccurate data and expired documents, long and lengthy processes, manual vendor registration, and finally delayed certificate of completion issuance. This project is a great example of suppliers and customers working tirelessly together to achieve great results and create a culture of storytelling which expanded to other organisations.
MTN Group – Global Sourcing and Supply Chain
MTN buys billions in goods and services every year for its 17+ operating companies. With more than 20,000 suppliers and 10+ ERP systems, MTN wanted to enhance its supplier compliance and governance significantly. Achieving this for 22,000 suppliers required the use of big data and advanced machine learning algorithms. MTN's Procurement Excellence team developed an in-house algorithm to perform automated due diligence and checks on its entire supplier database. Aptly named as Compliance Passport, the algorithm scans the supplier database for due diligence non compliances and high risk events, identifying potential risks for upcoming and ongoing sourcing events.
