In Support of Buyers —

Browz will help your organization achieve:

Reduced Operational Risk  Business relationships with suppliers are inherently risky. If overlooked, such things as poor safety performance, loss of insurance, a negative accident history, government safety or health citations, or bad environmental policies can lead to business losses. Collecting and managing information can reduce risk; however, it is costly and difficult to gather. Browz provides an easy and cost-effective way to assess risk in your global supply chain.

Improved Supplier Response  Suppliers are motivated to provide compliance information through Browz because providing this information just once to Browz eliminates the need to provide information in various formats to multiple clients. Additionally, suppliers can be exposed to new bid opportunities from other Browz clients.

Decreased Overhead Costs  Outsourcing your risk management tasks to Browz reduces the administrative cost of supplier compliance data management through the elimination of administrative labor costs and related expenses such as mailings, document management, and record storage.

Independent Compliance Verification  Verification of supplier performance data is a key element of the Browz Supply Chain Verification Service. As an independent third party, Browz verifies the information for accuracy, highlights exceptions based on your criteria, and posts this information to a secure, convenient website for your review.

Convenient Document Management and Archiving  Browz technology has flexible search and report capabilities that help you to save time by allowing you to focus on only the data most relevant to your needs.

Timely Change Notification  Before important supplier status changes occur, Browz sends an electronic notification of forthcoming changes to both the buyer organization and the supplier. This allows both parties to make necessary adjustments. Through this service, Browz helps to ensure that suppliers remain compliant throughout their contract period with their client and that the buyer organization receives adequate warning when a supplier is nearing a compliance status change.
