FAQ

We already have a spreadsheet. Why switch?

Spreadsheets break consistency and history; Vendorbench templates reduce quarterly rework with standardized math and exports.

Is scoring too subjective for retail suppliers?

Vendorbench standardizes the rubric and calculations so reviews are defensible across teams.

Does this work for enterprise retail needs like SSO?

Enterprise tier is self-serve and lightweight; SSO/audit logs not included yet—if required, it may not fit.

Will this tool contact our suppliers?

No—this is an internal evaluation workflow for your procurement team only.
