The benefits of having the right supplier management system in place and the key foundations required for successful implementation.

While having the right technology in place is crucial for effective supplier management, it is equally important to have the right foundations in place before the system is implemented. We explore the likely challenges that will be encountered, and the key elements required before and during a system implementation. We also examine the key features in a supplier management system that is useful for practitioners.
