Bank Vendor Management Software
Manage the full vendor lifecycle and get a complete view of your bank's third-party relationships.
Vendor Management (VM) Software for Banks
From due diligence, risk assessment, planning, and contract review to ongoing monitoring and oversight, Quantivate Bank Vendor Management Software allows your organization to develop a comprehensive vendor management process and obtain a complete view of your vendor relationships and risk.
In today’s complex business environment, vendors play a key role in the success of your institution. However, relying on vendors brings added risk. Managing these vital relationships and risks is important to ensure third-party products and services comply with applicable laws, regulations, and security best practices.
Relying on spreadsheets and word processing tools for the management of critical vendors no longer meets the growing requirements from auditors, government agencies, customers, and investors. A comprehensive vendor management software solution will allow you to protect and manage your resources and maintain successful, long-term vendor relationships.
