Supplier Diversity Management Software

A supplier diversity program is a proactive,  inclusive procurement practice that encourages the purchasing of goods and services from businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by a traditionally underrepresented or underserved group.  This often includes minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), small business enterprises (SBEs), women-owned enterprises (WBEs), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), and many more.

Organizations and companies have supplier diversity programs to level the playing field and widen the pool of suppliers while making a positive economic impact in their local communities. In addition, these programs help organizations to reach their DBE or other supplier diversity goals, often based on disparity study data, by tracking contract compliance.

Supplier diversity management software provides comprehensive functionality to support supplier diversity programs and makes finding certified vendors a breeze! It streamlines processes with multitier tracking and reporting, driving accountability and improving data integrity. A comprehensive system will produce detailed reports with the click of a button, seamlessly manage complex compliance and regulatory requirements, creates efficiency, and ultimately helps organizations achieve supplier diversity goals instead of chasing paper.
