An SRM Step Up to Birth More Effective Communicators Throughout the Retail Space

Bamboo Rose has officially announced an integration of comprehensive Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) capabilities for its industry-leading retail management platform, capabilities that are designed to transform the way retailers manage their supplier interactions and data. Leveraging a streamlined, collaborative workflow and interface, the stated capabilities will address risk laden challenges of managing supplier relationships, including issues with data transparency and integrity, the dynamic nature of supplier data, and inefficient collaboration and onboarding processes. Talk about how the whole runner will materialize on a more practical note, the answer begins from a promise of active performance management. This particular promise will make it possible for suppliers and retailers to access near real-time dashboards and reports, and therefore, stand a significantly better chance of achieving true collaboration. Such mechanism will also ensure continuous improvement along retailer-specified requirements. Next up, we must get into the way these new capabilities will look to enhance communication. Here, the update will deliver several tools to track communications, complimenting the same with a dedicated knowledge base which will reduce manual interventions and ensure timely and effective exchanges of information. Moving on to the new features’ prospects when it comes to brand strategy alignment, this is where Bamboo Rose will educate and engage suppliers on the brand’s strategy. Beyond alignment, the will also try and bolster readiness for collaboration, something which should do a lot to preach product innovation at scale.

“We hear time and again from our 200+ retailer customers that they can never be better than their worst performing suppliers. We also hear from our base of over 35,000 suppliers that they struggle to remain current with their retailer partners changing requirements or to clearly understand how well they’re performing against them.” said Matt Stevens, CEO at Bamboo Rose. “Our platform lives at the epicenter of this business-critical collaboration which in turn enables the tightly integrated next-level SRM to empower both retailers and suppliers to stay in lock-step with each other to deliver better operational results across the board.”

Hold on, there are still a couple of lefts left to unpack, considering we still haven’t discussed how the new capabilities will further dedicate a fair amount of attention towards compliance. This translates to several proactive engagement tools that are there to maintain accurate compliance records, reduce delays, and mitigate risks in an effective manner. Rounding up highlights for us would be the responsiveness aspect, which ensure prompt data-driven decisions and a near real-time reaction against regulatory changes or emerging business requirements.

“Seamless and efficient communicative supplier relationships are crucial in our business. These platform advancements will bring a whole new approach to supplier collaboration for Bamboo Rose customers globally, and that’s something to get excited about,” said Mercedes Pratt, VP of Operations & Custom, Design & Global Sourcing at Tailored Brands.
