FAQ
We already have a spreadsheet. Why use this?

Scoring involves judgment, but Vendorbench standardizes the rubric and math so reviews are consistent and justifiable across teams.
Does this work for manufacturing-specific needs?
Yes, templates include KPIs like on-time delivery and quality rates tailored for suppliers. Customize further to fit your operations.
Can I track vendor history?
Reuse templates to build performance trends over quarters, addressing the lack of benchmarks in spreadsheets.
