Vendor Due Diligence
Brief Introduction
Vendor due diligence is a crucial step in the procurement and outsourcing process, ensuring that your organization selects reliable partners and minimizes risks. From a global perspective, vendor selection has become increasingly complex as companies look to outsource or partner with vendors across borders. 85% of outsourcing failures are attributed to poor vendor selection and lack of alignment on goals. Vendor due diligence helps organizations avoid these pitfalls by ensuring that potential vendors meet the necessary operational, financial, and compliance standards.
Why it’s Important?
Vendor due diligence is essential for ensuring that your supply chain and strategic partnerships are robust and reliable. In a global economy, companies are increasingly outsourcing critical functions and partnering with vendors across regions. Poor vendor selection and a lack of due diligence can lead to operational disruptions, compliance issues, or reputational damage. According to McKinsey, 60% of outsourcing partnerships fail due to poor alignment or lack of transparency. Vendor due diligence ensures that your partners meet the necessary standards for quality, compliance, and operational capability.
