Supplier Quality Management

Process Goal

The quality assessment of new suppliers is essential to ensure compliance with corporate standards. Automated document capture and validation help minimize delays and reduce errors. Additionally, it is possible to automate regular reviews and adherence to quality standards, thereby saving time and money.

Supporting this important business process with AI (Artificial Intelligence) enables companies to automatically check data and documents for accuracy and completeness, significantly reducing the time required and minimizing potential error rates.
