SOLUTION

South Africa’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Act requires companies to report on their procurement spend with suppliers based on the supplier’s BEE score. This process requires procurement departments to gather all their supplier’s BEE certificates and capture the information, and also report on their company’s spending. This report takes the form of a preferential procurement scorecard.

Managing BEE certificates and the data is admin intensive, time consuming and an additional burden on supplier managers and procurement staff. To annually generate the procurement scorecard takes a significant amount of effort. The requirement for tracking BEE data in Coupa uses approximately eight custom fields on the supplier and SIM records, which limits any other use.

Supply Chain Partner has developed two panel apps and an iframe app.
