What is supplier management software?
Supplier management software is a centralized system that helps organizations qualify, onboard, monitor and collaborate with their suppliers. By unifying data, such as certifications, scorecards, audits, purchase history and corrective actions, the software makes it easy to evaluate risk, improve quality and ensure every supplier meets regulatory and contractual requirements. Effective supplier management is a cornerstone of standards like ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR and GMP because it drives consistency, traceability and accountability across the entire supply chain.
