How Our Supplier Compliance Software Works
SMRTR’s supplier compliance software includes a suite of tools and features, each of which eliminates the hassle of common compliance-related tasks. The key capabilities of SMRTR include the following:
Customizable Onboarding/Compliance Requirements
When your organization relies on manual document management practices, something as simple as onboarding a new vendor or supplier can become a tedious, expensive, and frustrating process. With SMRTR supplier compliance software, you can create custom documentation checklists, which enable prospective partners to easily navigate the onboarding process and start doing business with your organization.
Once your SMRTR platform is live, you can create a customized list of required documentation based on each type of vendor profile. When onboarding new vendors, you can simply send them the requisite checklist and await the requested documentation. When you send the list, SMRTR will automatically apply your custom rules to the document.
By simplifying onboarding while still ensuring your compliance-related needs are met, SMRTR makes your organization a more appealing partner to vendors and suppliers. You can use your streamlined onboarding process to build out a more agile and dynamic partner network, which will ultimately make your organization more resilient to unexpected supply chain challenges.
Attachment Capabilities
SMRTR supplier compliance software was designed to streamline document submission processes. With that in mind, our vendor tools include the ability to attach requested documentation via the self-service portal. Your vendor partners can scan physical documents and attach a digitized copy at the company, item, or purchase order level.
If they are already using digital documents, they can export these files using the portal, thereby saving time and effort.
The attachment capabilities of SMRTR’s platform also reduce the likelihood of errors. When documents are sent via email or fax, they can easily get lost in the shuffle, attached to the wrong client file, or otherwise misplaced. In turn, this can lead to compliance issues and failed audits, neither of which are good for your supplier relationships.
Once files are within the SMRTR platform, your team will be able to effortlessly find them for future use. When searching for the documents, they can run queries at the client, purchase order, or item level. By providing multiple ways to find documents, SMRTR makes lost files a thing of the past.
Mobile Approvals
In the fast-paced world of logistics and fulfillment, supervisors don’t have the luxury of sitting in front of their computers all day to approve orders. With SMRTR, they can approve documents on the go via a user-friendly web app. Compatible with personal device, the SMRTR app allows supervisors to approve orders using their smartphone or tablet.
Giving your team the ability to approve documents electronically via web or mobile devices will elevate their productivity and help them get more done. These vendor tools will also make life easier for your suppliers and other partners, as they will not have to wait hours to find out whether submitted documents were approved. Once the recipient approves a file, suppliers will receive an automated notification within the SMRTR platform.
Untethering your personnel from their desk is just one of the many ways in which SMRTR elevates your team’s productivity.
Notifications and Alerts
Poor communication is one of the leading causes of friction between vendors, suppliers, and other logistics partners. Transitioning from email to text or phone-based communications leads to confusion, misunderstandings, and unnecessary friction. SMRTR eliminates all of this via its built-in communication and notification capabilities.
With SMRTR, you can set up automated alerts that remind vendors of required documents. These alerts include upcoming deadlines and instructions for uploading files to ensure that you get the compliance files you need when you need them.
Vendors can receive automated alerts too. They will be notified when one of your team members makes a document request, rejects a document and sends them a message. With SMRTR, you can get your entire network on the same page, thereby improving communication and maximizing productivity.
Workflow Management
SMRTR is more than just supplier compliance software. It is an all-in-one workflow management solution that is designed to revolutionize the way you manage documents and interact with suppliers. By modernizing your workflow with SMRTR, you can reduce delays, stay audit-ready, and nurture strong relationships with your network of vendors and suppliers.
Once your SMRTR platform is live, you can route documents for approval, create custom workflows, and automate many file management-related tasks. Additionally, you can send out notifications for items waiting for approval to ensure your staff gets to these outstanding documents faster.
By digitizing your workflow with SMRTR, you can eliminate the need to manage physical documents. You can get your team more organized, consolidate all of your compliance-related documents, reduce the burden on your administrative staff, and save precious time.
Intuitive Dashboards
Keeping your vendors and suppliers in the loop is an important part of building trust and staying in compliance. SMRTR’s suite of vendor tools includes intuitive dashboards which are accessible via your suppliers’ self-service portals. Within these dashboards, your partners can track compliance and approval status, and gain real-time insights about outstanding requests.
Your team will also have access to a robust dashboard within the SMRTR platform. Their dashboard will serve as a single source of truth for a variety of different compliance document data. Within the dashboard, they can get a detailed view of the status of their requests, manage alert settings, and pinpoint which vendors are falling short in terms of compliance.
SMRTR dashboards keep everyone on the same page and provide an immersive, collaborative experience for your vendors. By promoting synergy between your organization and its network of partners, SMRTR empowers you to maximize productivity and operational efficiency.
