On a global scale, sourcing and maintaining suppliers of content, materials and instructional resources can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive operation. When done in a fragmented and inefficient manner, it can lead to increased expenses and longer deadlines, limiting your capacity to deliver insights to the business.
VMS What are the benefits?
Vendor Management Services (VMS) are a collection of services meant to minimize costs, improve vendor performance, and identify and manage risk. Among these services are:
-
Many VMS consultancies have industry knowledge when it comes to vendor sourcing.
-
Negotiating with vendors and finishing the Master Agreement contract
-
Current vendor performance, quality, and pricing structures are being evaluated.
-
Identifying ways to reduce expenses and improve vendor terms.
Improved management information provides the purchaser with extensive information on costs, inventory, and time lags between demand and supply.
-
Identifying vendor consolidation opportunities. Providing larger or more regular orders to vendors often results in better pricing and conditions.
-
Evaluation of vendor catalogues in order to locate more appropriate products.
