Find and Qualify New Suppliers Faster

The Problem

Organizations often rely heavily on existing suppliers because identifying and evaluating new suppliers takes time. However, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risk, and trade friction increasingly require organizations to diversify their supply base. Finding and comparing potential suppliers quickly can be difficult without structured information.

How MaiMai Helps

MaiMai helps teams identify and evaluate potential suppliers using structured criteria. Procurement teams can compare suppliers based on capabilities, geography, certifications, and other requirements before inviting them into sourcing processes.

What Teams Can Do

• Identify potential suppliers based on product, geography, or capabilities
• Support supplier diversification strategies such as plus-one sourcing
• Compare suppliers using structured qualification criteria
• Maintain supplier profiles including contacts, certifications, and capabilities
• Shortlist suppliers to invite into RFQ workflows

Example

A manufacturer looking to reduce reliance on a single overseas supplier uses MaiMai to identify alternative suppliers in different regions. The procurement team compares capabilities and certifications before inviting shortlisted suppliers to participate in an RFQ.

Where Teams Often Go Next

• RFQ and sourcing workflows
• Operational purchasing
• Proposal development
• Trade documentation processes
