Onboarding

Vendor User

External user — the vendor's own personnel accessing the vendor portal. Sees only their own Vendor row and only the records attached to that Vendor. Implicitly invoked by the vendor portal; scoped via Vendors.PortalUser = self.

Viewer

Read-only seat for adjacent stakeholders (Finance, Operations leadership, Internal Audit consumers).

Operational visibility

Reports and dashboards

Explore what each report measures and the records behind it.

  • Vendor Risk Profile

    Per Vendor, the current OverallRiskScore with the six RiskCategories sub-scores (Financial / Cyber / Geopolitical / Operational / Compliance / ESG), the latest assessment date, and the trailing 24-month trend. Rolled up by Tier × Category. The Risk Officer's daily landing report and the source for the board-level third-party-risk briefing.

  • Compliance Coverage

    Per Vendor, the count of required-but-missing DocumentRequirements, the count of expired vs active Insurances and Certifications, and a computed ComplianceHealth % (verified / required). Rolled up by Tier and by VendorCategory. Surfaces the document cliff before it triggers an auto-suspend.

  • Scorecard Trend

    Quarterly OverallScore trend per Vendor with the six dimension breakdowns; rolled up by Tier × VendorCategory and by RelationshipOwner. The Procurement Lead's quarterly business-review prep report.

  • Audit & Findings Status

    Open AuditFindings by Severity (Major / Minor / Observation) per Vendor, with open / closed / overdue CorrectiveActions counts and average days-to-closure by Severity. Drives the audit-cadence staffing plan.

  • ESG Performance

    Annual EnvironmentalScore / SocialScore / GovernanceScore / OverallESGScore per Vendor with year-over-year delta. Filtered by Tier and by VendorCategory; the source for the company's annual sustainability report on supplier ESG.

  • Spend by Vendor

    Trailing-12-months AnnualAmount per Vendor, rolled up by Tier × VendorCategory × State, with concentration-risk flags for Vendors above 10% of total spend. Drives tier-segmentation-recompute inputs.

  • Incident Trend

    IncidentReports by IncidentType × Severity × Vendor over a rolling 12 months, with open / resolved counts and average time-to-resolution by Severity. Surfaces the systemic-failure Vendors that warrant a re-tier or off-board.

  • Vendor Onboarding Cycle Time

    For each Activated OnboardingPlan, days from StartDate to ActualActivationDate vs the program's TargetCycleTimeDays, with the breakdown of OnboardingTasks time-in-status (which task category is the long pole). Drives onboarding-process improvement.
