Canopy

Supplier management is about more than reducing cost. Procurement is responsible for ensuring continuity of supply from a compliant, risk-assessed supply chain that is environmentally and ethically conscious.

Yet the supplier information procurement relies on to make these decisions is typically scattered across multiple documents and systems which makes it unusable. Add to this an over-reliance on manual processes, and your procurement team faces an unwinnable challenge.

Canopy is the rules-based supplier management platform that provides complete visibility of your supplier information and removes the administrative burden of supplier management.

It achieves this by aggregating supplier data into a trusted vendor master record. It then leverages this data to automate your business processes.

By eliminating the manual effort required to manage suppliers, Canopy saves time, reduces cost, and allows you to realise the strategic opportunities from supply chain.

• Aggregates trusted & accurate supplier information in a shareable record to highlight the best vendors
• Eliminates manual processes for supplier onboarding and maintenance, saving time and money
• Integrates with critical business systems, increasing accuracy and efficiency
• Facilitates fast response to supply chain problems through smart access to vendor data
• Increases supplier compliance and reduces risk across all locations
