What is Supplier Data Management (SDM)?
Supplier Data Management (SDM) involves systematically organising, maintaining, and utilising information related to a company's suppliers. It encompasses various aspects, including supplier identification, contract management, information sharing, compliance monitoring, and relationship management. SDM aims to centralise supplier data, ensure data accuracy and consistency, improve visibility into supplier activities, streamline communication and collaboration with suppliers, mitigate risks, and optimise supplier relationships to drive business value and operational efficiency.
