Why Use A Supplier Prequalification System

Why should Principals or Purchasers use the SQS on their projects?

The SQS has been developed to reduce time and costs associated with managing suppliers and subcontractors through a pre-qualification process. Benefits include:

• Supplier information is accessible in real time.
• Information can be accessed from multiple sites by multiple users provided they have an internet connection.
• It is designed to manage the qualification of potential, new and existing suppliers.
• It is designed to reduce the time taken by Purchasers to evaluate tenders by enabling an earlier assessment of supply data at a separate qualification phase.
• The SQS groups supply data into specific categories to assist in the Purchasers assessment and decision making process.
• It is designed to cater for small, large or multiple projects managed by the Purchaser from multiple locations.
• It allows for the easy retrieval of valuable supplier data which assists the Purchaser to making commercial astute buying decisions.
• It assists the Purchaser in sourcing Goods and Services in the open market and comparing Tenderers/Suppliers lists.
• The Purchaser can quickly assign Procurement Work Packages to their project with the SQS.
• It allows for project specific commodity lists (Goods and Services) to be populated by the Purchaser within the SQS Supply Manager.
• It maintains a grading (or regrading) for each qualified Supplier based on their performance.
• The Licensed Version of the SQS (Application and Supply Manager modules) can accommodate the Purchasers company details and forms specific to their project.
