Standard Supplier Portal: Build Strong Supplier Relationships and Create Bottom-Line Impact

Manual procurement and supplier communication processes increase inefficiencies and cycle time when stakeholders expect to operate at warp speeds in today’s digital world. Efficient supplier management is pivotal to ensuring adequate visibility into operations, improving supplier collaboration and performance, enhancing compliance and mitigating risks.

WNS’ Standard Supplier Portal is a supplier self-service portal that enables efficient online exchange and flow of supplier communications. The scalable solution focuses on your requirements and adapts to your business needs to improve communication and customer service. Integrated with your native ERP system, this supplier management portal helps automate your entire purchase-to-pay process, including communications with both large and small suppliers, increasing transparency, efficiency and collaboration.

Key Features
