Why Huddle?
The large amounts of information flowing between suppliers, delivery teams and contract and procurement specialists, means that contracting, and managing your vendors and suppliers can quickly grow in complexity. Unfortunately, organizations can no longer rely on traditional tools, like email, file sharing apps, or legacy extranets, to manage this complexity. Control over important files is lost, important updates and tasks become buried in inboxes, and data security can quickly be compromised.
Huddle overcomes these challenges, making it simple to maintain control, manage access to key documents, ease the contracting process, improve ramp times, and build stronger partner relationships.
"EDF Energy uses Huddle to manage new vendor bids and to keep existing partners connected to important project files."
Keep work on track
With a Huddle Vendor and Supplier Management Portal, organizations can easily create secure cloud-based Workspaces where stakeholders can collate, share and collaborate on the documents they need, manage tasks and approvals, discuss updates, and oversee their most important projects. Stay connected. Whether it’s gathering vendor information, reviewing stakeholder feedback, negotiating contracts, controlling document revisions, or managing vendor interactions, Huddle synchronizes everyone to the latest updates, tasks and file revisions.
