Streamlining Vendor Management in Banking

The Challenge

A Fortune 500 banking institution was struggling with their vendor management processes. With over 2,000 vendors across multiple departments, they faced:

• Manual vendor onboarding taking 3-4 weeks
• Fragmented documentation across departments
• Compliance risks due to inconsistent vendor evaluations
• High administrative costs for vendor management

Our Approach

We implemented Hirelexa's vendor management solution with a focus on automation and integration:

1. Centralized Vendor Repository: Created a single source of truth for all vendor data
2. Automated Onboarding: Implemented smart workflows reducing onboarding time by 75%
3. Risk Assessment Framework: Developed a standardized risk scoring system for all vendors
4. Compliance Automation: Built automated compliance checks and reporting features
5. Integration with Existing Systems: Seamless connection with their ERP and procurement systems

Results

After six months of implementation, the bank achieved:

• 40% reduction in vendor management operational costs
• Onboarding time reduced from 4 weeks to 5 days
• 100% compliance with regulatory requirements
• Real-time visibility into vendor performance and risk
• 85% less manual data entry for the procurement team
