Manage complex supply chains

New multi-sourcing supply chains use a blend of suppliers to deliver better services. However, these complex service models require careful management. Organizations need good visibility over the performance of individual suppliers—and the whole supply chain.

Strategic supplier management

assyst helps you plan out successful outsourcing decisions. Accurate service quality and cost metrics help you evaluate outsourcing options against each other and against in-house delivery. Visual service maps help you plan the integration of new suppliers into your existing service supply chains. Structured SLAs ensure accountability and that expectations are always understood.

“The new system has definitely been useful in getting better value out of third-party contractors because information is more readily available.”

Operational supplier management

Automated monitoring and SLA tracking continuously measures supplier performance against expectations. When performance slips, incidents can be automatically created and routed to vendors through automated emails or via direct integration into the supplier’s ticketing system. Dashboards give you complete visibility over service and vendor performance, as well as the volume and status of open vendor tickets.

“Due to its flexibility and scalability, assyst was able to accompany the evolution of our business from 10 to 37 billion euros in four years.”

Contract management

assyst lets you manage supplier contracts and payments inside your IT management system, so you can see contracts within the context of services, infrastructure, and operations. Create supplier and contract records to give you full financial visibility over your sourcing landscape and costs. Automated alerts notify you when contracts are up for renewal. Integration with your finance system enables automated processing of monthly and annual supplier subscription payments.
