Supplier Evaluation Data Integration

The system can be configured for outbound integration with the Merchandising system. The data relating to certain events and calculated scores is automatically fed to Merchandising, where dashboards enhance the supplier data with the latest Supplier Evaluation information.

When Documents, Assessments, and Audits are configured to capture supplier evaluation data, and calculate supplier evaluation scores, details of the related events and scores are automatically fed back to Merchandising (for sites that have been synchronized through the Supplier & Site Integration).

Different types of messages are sent to Merchandising as a result of events occurring and scores being calculated in Supplier Evaluation:

  • Document is accepted, or is subsequently archived, unpublished, or republished

  • Assessment is created, becomes due or overdue

  • Assessment is no longer due or overdue

  • Assessment is completed or uncompleted/deleted

  • Audit is created, becomes due or overdue

  • Audit is no longer due or overdue

  • Assessment is completed or abandoned/not progressed

  • Site status changes

The events and scores are categorized by Supplier Evaluation type (such as Ethical, Environmental, and Governance).
