PHASE 02

Supplier Qualification Process

Verify vendor compliance before and during tenders.

An updated supplier register helps you in the choice of potential suppliers and in your purchase tenders.

With IUNGO's qualification process you will always have available the qualification status of all your suppliers at the moment of opening a purchase tender.

The register provides real-time visibility into the updated qualification status of each vendor, making it easy to evaluate bids thanks to a complete picture of the certifications and compliance data of the suppliers involved.

“The evolution of the purchasing department also passes through IUNGO: we have created proximity with 1200 suppliers, managing 26,000 requests from various actors in the supply chain and reducing the lead time of purchase by 30%. A simple solution for complex systems.”

Marchesini Group

“We were looking for a solution to improve communication with suppliers. Among the proposals evaluated, IUNGO was the one with the lowest onboarding cost for suppliers: no login, no portal access, no software to download. A simple email, minimal training, and they are already operational.”

Fives

IUNGO intercepts and highlights the orders still to be approved (sent by the buyer and in “frozen” status), sends the requests for approval to the recipients at zero time, in order to obtain the actual approval (or non-approval) of the order that is automatically blocked in the management system until approval has taken place.

100% reduction in paper waste and 80% reduction in time spent in order management.

Frequently asked questions

Sourcing: key answers to get started.

What is the strategic sourcing process?

Sourcing is the procurement workflow through which an enterprise identifies potential vendors, assesses their compliance and operational fit, and collects and compares commercial proposals. It unifies scouting, qualification, and tenders to select optimal supply partners according to corporate standards.

Why link supplier qualification to purchase tenders?

An up-to-date vendor register ensures qualification statuses, certifications, and compliance metrics are immediately available when launching a tender. Procurement teams can instantly confirm vendor eligibility and evaluate bids based on reliable, verified partner profiles.

How does a request for quotation (RFQ) work with IUNGO?

With the RFQ module, buyers select purchase requisitions, choose qualified vendors to invite, build tender packages, and automatically dispatch interactive IUNGOmail quote requests. Received bids are compared on a side-by-side matrix with full audit traceability.

What operational benefits does digital sourcing deliver?

Digitalization accelerates vendor scouting, ensures high participation from pre-qualified suppliers, eliminates manual bid entry, improves commercial terms through structured benchmarking, and keeps all audit records centralized in your enterprise ecosystem.
