Vendor Management

Custom Vendor Management Solution

Overview

The objective of our Vendor Management module is to offer greater clarity to you and your vendors so that your organisation's policies and procedures are correctly followed. 

You might have unique and proven work procedures on how to manage Vendors to reduce compliance risk and to build better relationships. The need for effective onboarding and induction can easily be achieved using Nimblex. Once vendors are correctly pre-qualified and onboarded, then is will be easy for people within your organization to match the correct vendor to the service or product that they are after and to start transacting with them. 

What we offer may, for example, fit your need 60% but our ‘drag-and- drop’ configuration and unprecedented flexibility allows us to shape the Vendor Management solution to fit your needs a 100% without breaking the bank. This means you dream it and we configure it.

File Based Integration

Nimblex offers the ability to use standard file formats, common to the applications you need to integrate with e.g. CSV and Excel. The Nimblex data scheduler can be set to import data to Nimblex or export from Nimblex to a designated file directory.

Document Creation

Nimblex can automatically pre-populate the designed MS Word template with the approved information. This is great for contracts, letters, reports, etc. Once created, it can be exported as a PDF or MS Word doc. This will save you time, reduce admin errors and ensure greater standardisation of documentation.

Document Attachment

Nimblex allows users to upload documents to a particular record or a particular section of a record. This enables you to use Nimblex as your 'single source of truth'.

Business Rules

Nimblex's automated business rules can be set to activate, based on certain conditional triggers. It brings a type of robotic capability, by allowing the set up of simple (and complex) if-then scenarios, which is much easier to maintain compared to hard coded rules.

Nimblex offers eForms and Portals with public or guest user permissions. Public forms allows random people to complete a Nimblex data form as published, for example on your website.

Audit Trail

Nimblex gives you the ability to follow records back to their origin. Helping you achieve greater transparency, assist with compliance, record integrity and accuracy, system protection from misuse or harm, and the security of sensitive or vital information.

Dynamic Workflows

Nimblex drives sequential actions via the use of buttons (i.e. manual workflow) or the automated transitioning of a record via specified process steps. These steps are triggered by business rules as defined by various conditions (i.e. automated workflow).

Job Scheduling

The scheduling of assets (e.g. vehicles, equipment etc) or events (e.g. jobs, deliveries, inspections etc) can easily be planned, managed and tracked using Nimblex's job scheduling calendar view. This will make tracking jobs easier, save resources, increase productivity and ensure greater transparency for improved reliability.

Xero and MYOB

Nimblex is not an accounting system, but we can automate any operational process relating to job or task management, that may lead to generating an invoice or raising a purchase order. At the desired process step, it will push data to Xero or MYOB.
