Supplier and Raw material Documentation

The documentation of suppliers and the respective raw materials, the so-called regulatory, is a fundamental task in the company. Many other processes are based on this documentation, such as product and food safety, strategic supplier management, sustainable sourcing as well as IFS, BRC, FSSC, EMAS and ISO, to name but a few.

Clearly defined requirements that can be clearly processed by the purchaser or regulatory and supplier are crucial. Communication with the supplier should be as automated as possible and should not increase the flood of emails in your inbox. The documentation should then be made available centrally to the specialist departments and ideally be available for further analyses, not least for the purchasing department.

The Challenges in Collecting and Managing Documentation

Obtaining documentation can be very time-consuming and annoying for everyone involved. It is better to adapt the process to the actual conditions instead of realising during the audit that the process described in the management manual and purchasing guidelines does not work at all in practice.

Complexity

Regulatory is very technical with a large proportion of technical issues. Purchasing processes may have to be reorganised. Departmental interests are often conflicting.

Time

Even for standard tasks, such as managing the documentation, i.e. enquiring with the supplier and then filing it, there is not enough time in day-to-day business. The purchasers should buy.

Budget

Software solutions are often very specialised and expensive. However, the documentation does not initially sell a single extra gram of product.

With our relatico interface, you can easily connect your systems, e.g. your merchandise management system.

For example, you can see whether a supplier or material is fully documented before your purchasing department orders from the supplier.

It is also possible to transfer specification data and forms to your systems via the relatico interface.

Data quality check & troubleshooting

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

Data quality is at least as important as complete data. Anyone who has ever despaired of S-references in Excel knows how important clean data is.

You spend more time painstakingly searching for errors such as periods instead of commas, spaces, ä instead of ae etc. than actually analyzing the data. With larger amounts of data across different databases, the effort required grows exponentially, not to mention the fact that the data in all databases has to be corrected.

We support you with our tools for troubleshooting and provide you with corresponding overviews. Using interfaces, we can help to correct the data in the various databases if necessary.

This means you are well equipped for meaningful data analysis.

In essence, whether you're an emerging startup or a multinational corporation, Relatico adapts and evolves with your supplier management needs, ensuring that every business, regardless of its size, can benefit from seamless supplier relationship management.

What is relatico's approach to risk analysis of the supplier base?

Background: Risk analysis is a fundamental component of the Supply Chain Law (LkSG). In daily business operations, there's often little time to delve into the intricate details of LkSG, leading to confusion and misjudgments.

Our Approach: The Relatico team has devised a simplified procedure for supplier base risk analysis. Our goal is to help our clients kick-start their risk analysis swiftly and provide comprehensive information to their customers. We've designed a step-by-step model that segments the supplier base, creating manageable work packages.

Note: While we assist with data collection and analysis, we cannot make strategic decisions for you. However, we're here to help with our expertise.

What sources are used for the risk analysis?

We recommend focusing on data already available within the company or easily accessible. Use objective, standardized data and avoid qualitative, subjective information. Commonly used sources in the initial phase include:

Commercial ERP data

Address data (ERP master data)

Country risk

Certification status and performance


Tip: Approach it with a "keep-it-simple" mindset, but avoid shortcuts.

How are prevention and remediation measures represented?

Within the relatico database, task packages can be planned and executed, both independently and in collaboration with external partners. This also encompasses complaint management.

How does supplier monitoring/mapping work? Can a Tier-N Mapping be performed?

Absolutely. Relatico can visually represent supply chains in a clear diagram format, enabling quick identification of contacts.

How does your SRM software facilitate supplier risk management?

relatico, is built with advanced risk management features. It evaluates and monitors suppliers, their historical data, and feedback to identify potential risks. Additionally, the software offers alert systems that notify users of changes or inconsistencies that might indicate a risk. By providing a centralized platform, users can quickly respond to potential issues, ensuring that the supply chain remains robust and reliable.

When will there be extensions for CSDDD, EUDR, and CSRD reporting obligations? Will the software be updated accordingly?

Companies well-prepared for LkSG will be aptly prepared for CSDDD. The CSDDD is an extension of LkSG and comprises a set of regulations familiar to German companies through LkSG. Firms integrating LkSG preparations with CSDDD considerations will have a competitive advantage, especially over foreign companies new to this area.New legal provisions, especially those regarding human rights, will often overlap with LkSG and CSDDD. The processes established in companies for LkSG and CSDDD can be recontextualized, building upon existing knowledge.Relatico's Commitment: We closely monitor changing requirements and aim to support our clients in meeting these obligations. If new needs arise, we're equipped to respond efficiently and competently.

SRM software vs SCM software: What are the differences?

SRM software is intensely focused on nurturing, optimizing, and enhancing relationships with suppliers. It enables deeper, more collaborative partnerships, fosters improved communication, and aids businesses in extracting maximum value from their supplier relations. On the other hand, SCM (Supply Chain Management) software provides a broader view of the entire supply chain network, encompassing procurement, production, and distribution. While SCM maximizes the efficiency of the entire chain, SRM ensures that the relationships within this chain are strong and fruitful. With our software, relatico.next the focus lies on SRM. That being said, relatico qualifies as both: an SRM and SCM solution, offering the best of both worlds in a single tool.
