Vendor Relationship Management Context

Vendor relationship management (VRM) is a critical function in many organizations because good relationships with vendors can lead to better prices, better planning, better responses to adverse events and less risk in operations and supply chains.

VRM is an ongoing process that’s valuable for some businesses and vital for others — especially those trying to maintain a competitive edge.
Good VRM requires analysis of thoughtfully collected quantitative data, as well as more qualitative vendor relationship–building skills.
VRM can help businesses get better prices, more reliable deliveries and more useful and innovative products to suit their needs.
VRM involves thinking about what you prefer from your own customers and delivering the same thing to your vendors.
