FAQ
We already have a spreadsheet for vendor scoring.
Spreadsheets break consistency and history; Vendorbench templates + exports reduce rework every quarter for rail teams.
Is scoring still subjective?
Scoring involves judgment, but Vendorbench standardizes the rubric and math so rail reviews are defensible.
Do we need enterprise features like SSO?
Enterprise tier is self-serve and lightweight; SSO/audit logs not included yet—if required, it may not fit.
Will this involve contacting vendors?
No—this is an internal rail procurement workflow tool, no vendor outreach.
How do I handle data?
Export or delete scorecards anytime; clear paths provided in-app.
