We are thrilled to announce the latest updates for November 2024! These new features and enhancements aim to streamline workflows, enhance supplier collaboration, and provide greater flexibility across the oboloo platform.
🎉 New Features
Supplier Self-Assessment Scorecards Procurement teams can now send scorecards directly to suppliers for self-assessment. Suppliers will complete these scorecards through their portal, enabling them to provide insights on key evaluation criteria such as performance, risk, and compliance. Once submitted, responses can be reviewed and scored by your internal teams.
Streamlined Record Creation Users can now create new suppliers, locations, and departments directly when creating sourcing activities, contracts, or savings records. This update eliminates the need to pre-create these records, simplifying workflows and saving time.
Enhanced Pricing Fields for eSourcing Suppliers can now include additional pricing details during sourcing activities, such as discounts and tax information. These enhancements provide greater transparency and accuracy in financial evaluations.
🏆 Improvements
Scorecard Management Enhancements Supplier Scorecards are now categorized as either Internal Evaluation or Supplier Self-Assessment, with added filters and status indicators to streamline tracking and management.
Contract and Document Expiry Flexibility Users can now manage contracts and supplier documents without mandatory expiry dates, supporting evergreen contracts and better historical record-keeping.
Improved Supplier Portal Accessibility The supplier portal now supports translations for non-English speakers and includes more responsive file uploads for a smoother user experience.
Downloadable Scorecards Supplier scorecards can now be downloaded as PDFs, enabling easier sharing and archiving.
