This is why more vendors choose us and why we have the largest network of qualified government suppliers in North America.
Overcoming supplier management challenges
Limited visibility and outreach
Agencies have little means to advertise their solicitations, often relying on passive website posting and labor-intensive direct outreach. Publishing solicitations to a large, pre-established network of active suppliers increases visibility and eliminates the time-consuming process of individual outreach.
Low supplier response rates
Insufficient response numbers from a recurring pool of vendors make finding the right supplier for each contract difficult. Our platform matches you with suppliers that fit your needs and provides vendors with a powerful, category-based search engine that boosts visibility and response rates.
Inadequate diversity and competition
Complex and manual supplier onboarding processes make it challenging to execute on diversity initiatives or drive costs down by leveraging competition. With SOVRA, you have access to a vast ocean of suppliers, which helps increase bid numbers and supports supplier diversity efforts.
Manual and inefficient processes
From bid management to supplier performance evaluations, manual operations slow procurement, increase error rates, and deter potential vendors. Optimizing internal processes with procurement modernization tools accelerates sourcing, reduces manual workflows, and keeps your vendors happy.
Ineffective tools
Without purpose-built tools, procurement teams struggle with managing supplier data, tracking performance, and ensuring compliance, which leads to increased risks and missed revenue opportunities. Our solution offers supplier self-management tools that streamline onboarding, activity monitoring, and performance evaluation.
