ServiceMatrix is an intuitive tool pinpointing opportunities to drive improvement, innovation and growth – bringing essential support for your vendor governance framework.
Supplier management has a significant impact on business performance, given heavy reliance on an array of vendors which can play a critical role in boosting efficiency, service quality and risk mitigation:
- If all goes well, their services provide you with a competitive edge – boosting value and growth.
- If not, they can be a fundamental drag on realising your firm's strategic ambitions – with value leakage, faltering service quality and exposure to third-party risk.
