How to Monitor Vendor and Supplier SLA in 2026
If your company depends on third parties, tools like SAP Ariba, Coupa, Pipefy, and Jestor are vital — the choice depends on whether you need a complex Procurement suite or an agile system to control deliveries and quality.
It's not (only) the vendor's fault
If you don't measure, you can't enforce. Monitoring vendor SLA (Vendor Management) allows objectively evaluating who delays deliveries, who responds fast, and who should be disqualified. Without data, enforcement becomes just empty complaints.
What procurement is looking to solve (Pain Points)
- Stalled production: Raw materials didn't arrive on time.
- Bad service: Contractor took 1 week to perform maintenance.
- Auto-renewal: Renewing contract with a bad vendor due to lack of history.
- Compliance: Not knowing if the vendor met contractual requirements.
