Introduction:

In today’s competitive market, every organization is looking for ways to reduce their operating costs while maintaining high-quality standards. One way to achieve this is by streamlining the supplier onboarding process. In this case study, we will explore how 319 InSight helped a large enterprise shorten the cycle time to onboard a supplier.

Background:

Our client is a multinational company that operates in the manufacturing industry. They have a large number of suppliers who provide raw materials and components to their manufacturing plants. Due to their extensive supplier base, the onboarding process was taking a considerable amount of time, which was causing delays in production and affecting their profitability.

Challenges:

The onboarding process at our client was a manual and time-consuming process that involved multiple departments, such as procurement, legal, compliance, and finance. The process involved several steps, such as collecting supplier information, conducting due diligence, obtaining approvals from various stakeholders, and negotiating contracts.

The existing process was fraught with challenges, such as:

  1. Delayed approvals – The manual process involved multiple stakeholders, which often resulted in delayed approvals, causing further delays in the onboarding process.

  2. Manual data entry – The existing process relied heavily on manual data entry, which was prone to errors and inconsistencies.

  3. Compliance risks – The manual process made it difficult to ensure compliance with the organization’s policies and regulations, leading to potential compliance risks.
