Partnerships Without Performance
Vendor relationships were a mess. Fragmented contracts, unclear payment terms, and no systematic way to evaluate partners. 30% of partners had no assigned internal contact, and nobody could prove which partnerships actually drove results.
Why Typical Vendor Management Failed
Cost-cutting missed the point. We built a tiered ecosystem with automation and ROI tracking to prove which partnerships truly drove growth.
