FAQ

We already have a spreadsheet. Why switch?

Spreadsheets break consistency and history; our templates + exports reduce quarterly rework while standardizing criteria.

Is scoring subjective?

Scoring uses rubrics and math for defensible, consistent reviews across teams.

Does this work for data center suppliers?

Yes – tailored KPIs for uptime, scalability, and more. Download the free template to start.

Can I track historical performance?

Reuse templates in Vendorbench to build history and benchmarks over quarters.

What about enterprise features like SSO?

Self-serve tiers focus on core scorecard building; not a fit if SSO/audit logs required.
