Deliver best-in-class
supplier innovation management

Between 60-80% of a company's innovation typically comes from their supply base. Today, most leading organisations utilise supplier innovation management to leverage the power of their supplier ecosystem to increase their own organisations innovation performance.

And supplier-enabled innovation offers significant benefits. Buyers can leverage the domain knowledge and unique insights of existing suppliers who are experts in their field at lower cost vs sourcing innovation on the open market. This can result in driving down costs and improving time to market, savings or top-line growth. Initiatives can be as simple as small incremental efficiency improvements through to launching new products, new market entry opportunities and even enhanced brand value.

Harnessing supplier innovation at scale is difficult and it requires a different more transparent, collaborative way of working together with suppliers. With current manual ways of engaging with suppliers this is not feasible and represents a significant commercial and competitive risk.

With Vizibl you can manage the end-to-end innovation process with suppliers, from idea capture and strategic alignment, all the way through to standardised project management and innovation analytics. Companies can deploy an appropriate level of governance to deliver increased innovation in less time with less risk and reduced duplication of effort.
