With stricter compliance requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley and the Patriot Act, the supplier evaluation process has become even more time-consuming and costly. How can you reduce the costs and cycle time for qualifying suppliers, and at the same time improve compliance? How can you standardize your registration and evaluation process and create a single point of entry with consistent procedures that will filter out unqualified suppliers?

D&B’s Supplier On Ramp is the answer. This Web-based service standardizes your registration and evaluation process and creates a single point of entry with consistent procedures. Prospective and existing suppliers access either through a link on your company’s Web site, or through a standalone online supplier registration and evaluation site. The Web pages are hosted by D&B but customized with your company’s name, look and feel. Once there, a supplier fills in critical information and purchases and sends you a Supplier Qualifier Report – the report you need to get the critical information to evaluate a supplier’s risk profile. The supplier also has the opportunity to review the same information that is used in your evaluation.
