PeopleSoft Supplier Rating System

Your enterprise relies on the dependability of your suppliers. After all, their performance enables yours. Which is why good sourcing entails more than just comparing supplier prices. It requires you to know how a supplier impacts your company overall-from the loading dock to the shop floor to the finance department.

Oracle's PeopleSoft Supplier Rating System collects critical data from across the enterprise to provide a complete view of your suppliers' performance. With this information, you can select the best suppliers, reduce supply variability and disruption, negotiate better contracts, and confidently modify sourcing strategies as business needs change.
