Vendor Collaboration Made Easy
Share Files and Information Directly from Aligni
Quickly select the necessary files saved within Aligni and package them in a secure vault. Share those project files directly from the system with vendors, streamlining the process and eliminating the need to gather files from multiple sources. Your organization retains full control over who can access the vault, ensuring sensitive information is shared only with the correct people.
Manage Updates to Shared Data
When files in the vault are changed, they are instantly updated for all parties, eliminating confusion. Alerts are automatically sent to notify vendors and team members of any updates, accelerating the workflow and reducing miscommunication. The process helps guarantee everyone is working from the most up-to-date information.
Retain Control over Data Sharing
Keep your supply chain process efficient, secure, and always aligned with the latest project information, helping to prevent costly errors in the future. Once file sharing is no longer needed, access is automatically revoked, preventing unauthorized viewing and ensuring outdated data isn’t used in future decisions.
Keep Purchasing Moving with Smart Notifications
Set alerts to notify when vendors complete quotes via the vendor portal or when they update delivery promise dates, ensuring you’re always aware of key changes. These alerts can also be extended beyond the purchasing department personnel. Product engineers and production managers are kept informed about shifts in expected inventory, so adjustments can be made proactively before small issues become costly problems.
Alert Vendors When New RFQs Are Available
Streamline the quoting process. Selectively target the specific vendors in your system for each order and email directly without leaving the system. Sending RFQs directly from Aligni reduces email overhead, enables in-app tracking and improves team visibility on every aspect of the purchasing operation.
