FAQ

We already use spreadsheets for supplier scorecards.

Spreadsheets break consistency and history; Vendorbench templates and exports reduce rework every quarter while standardizing rubrics.

Isn't scoring telecom suppliers subjective?

Scoring has subjective elements, but Vendorbench standardizes the rubric and math so reviews are defensible and consistent.

Does this require inviting suppliers or sending emails?

No, it's an internal evaluation workflow tool—no cold outreach or vendor spam.

What about enterprise features like SSO?

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

Can I export my data anytime?

Yes, export scorecards as PDF or data anytime, with clear deletion paths.
