RollStream Unveils Solution For Supplier Onboarding, Information Mgmt

RollStream, a provider of enterprise community management solutions, has announced the launch of its Web 2.0 Onboarding and Information Management solution, enabling customers to automate the registration of new suppliers and approval of changes to business terms, contracts and key credentials for existing suppliers or vendors.

“Companies such as Tesco and Owens & Minor have been using our Software as a Service (SaaS) supplier registration solution for over a year now,” said Kristin Muhlner, CEO of RollStream. “With the latest release of our Onboarding solution, customers can configure and deploy their own solution in weeks. The solution embodies best practices in supplier information and change management, enabling companies to immediately realise the benefits of reduced costs and accelerated time to bring supplier products to market.”

RollStream’s Onboarding solution enables suppliers, vendors or distributors to be added to a partner community via intelligent online forms. The role-based approval workflow spans the entire process from supplier registration to internal employee handoffs. Equally as important as the onboarding of new suppliers is the maintenance and governance of changes to existing supplier information. RollStream’s collaborative supplier information management capability enables suppliers to manage their own profiles and initiate changes to their information themselves, but ensures that such changes are tied to a customer-defined approval process – allowing visibility and management of supplier master data.

As RollStream Onboarding is directly tied to a collaboration platform, users have the added advantage of being able to find existing suppliers using search capabilities before submitting duplicate registration requests. Once the profile is complete, customers can communicate and interact with suppliers based upon type, category or classification. And with RollStream’s open API Interface for ERP and Content Management, all supplier information, data and credentials can be seamlessly synchronised with master systems of record.
