From Scattered Data to Clear Supplier Decisions Managing suppliers is rarely as simple as it looks on paper. For many organizations, supplier data lives across spreadsheets, emails, shared drives, and disconnected systems. Performance reviews are manual, risk indicators are reviewed too late, and procurement insights often rely more on experience than real-time data. Insight: In 2025, around 85–90% of organizations still used spreadsheets for supplier and procurement activities. Even with digital tools on the rise, manual methods remain widely used, making it harder for teams to track performance, monitor risk, and generate timely insights from supplier data. As procurement and operations teams grow, these limitations become more visible. What once worked for a small supplier base starts to break down when organizations need transparency, accountability, and measurable value from many supplier relationships.
