Streamline Vendor Operations & Protect Margins While We Run Your
Vendor Onboarding, Scorecards, COI Compliance & RFQ Bids
Stop spending 20+ hours every week chasing expired Certificates of Insurance (COIs), manually resolving 3-way PO invoice mismatches, compiling monthly vendor OTIF scorecards, formatting RFQ comparison sheets, and updating supplier master data in Coupa or SAP Ariba. Sagedoer provides Managed Supplier Relations Virtual Assistants supervised by a dedicated Project Manager at $0 management fees.
Why Procurement Directors & Vendor Leads Partner With Us
Your leadership belongs in high-stakes master contract negotiations, strategic partner tiering, supplier diversification, and risk mitigation—not checking W-9 signatures or manually matching shipment tracking numbers.
Vendor Onboarding & Compliance Vetting
Eliminate onboarding gridlock. We manage the vendor intake process—collecting W-9/W-8BEN forms, banking verification letters for fraud prevention, Certificates of Insurance (COIs), ISO certifications, and conducting OFAC/sanctions screening.
Supplier Performance Scorecards & OTIF
Hold vendors accountable to contract SLAs. We calculate and compile monthly supplier scorecards—evaluating On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery rates, defect parts per million (PPM), lead time adherence, and billing accuracy in Excel or Power BI.
RFQ / RFP Bid Tabulation & Pricing Matrices
Accelerate sourcing decisions. Your VA distributes solicitation packets in Coupa or Workday Sourcing, tracks supplier submission deadlines, normalizes varied vendor pricing models, and builds side-by-side cost comparison matrices.
Contract Lifecycle & Renewal Alerts
Prevent auto-renewals on uncompetitive terms. We track contract milestones across Master Services Agreements (MSAs), Statements of Work (SOWs), price-lock expirations, and volume rebates in Ironclad or DocuSign, alerting managers 90 days out.
3-Way PO Matching & Invoice Discrepancies
Stop vendor overbilling and unearned price increases. We perform 3-way matching between Purchase Orders, warehouse receiving manifests, and incoming vendor invoices, logging short-shipments and securing supplier credit memos.
Dedicated Project Manager ($0 Fee)
Zero procurement team micromanagement. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager oversees daily VA execution, conducts quality audits on scorecard formulas and vendor master data, and guarantees strict turnaround SLAs at no extra charge.
ERP, Sourcing & Vendor Risk Tools We Master
We integrate natively into your enterprise procure-to-pay engines, contract databases, vendor portals, and spend analytics dashboards.
What Your Supplier Relations VA Executes Daily
We handle the grueling compliance document chasing, scorecard calculations, RFQ formatting, and master data maintenance so your procurement team drives strategic savings.

What Supplier Relations & Sourcing Leaders Say
Real operational experiences from enterprise procurement directors, vendor managers, and supply chain executives.
"We manage an active base of over 450 industrial component suppliers in Coupa. Tracking expired Certificates of Insurance (COIs) and W-9s used to take 15 hours a week. Our Sagedoer VA handles all compliance chasing and maintains our vendor master records with 100% audit readiness."
"Running monthly supplier OTIF scorecards in Power BI used to bottleneck our team. Our VA compiles shipping logs against ERP purchase orders, flags vendor quality defect spikes, and formats our quarterly business review decks. The speed and mathematical rigor are incredible."
"The dedicated Project Manager is phenomenal. When we had a massive multi-category packaging RFP with 18 international suppliers submitting complex tiered bids in different currencies, our PM ensured the side-by-side cost matrix was completely normalized and error-free."
"Hiring a full-time vendor operations coordinator in London would easily cost £55,000+ plus taxes. At $6/hour for full-time support, Sagedoer handles our 3-way invoice matching, supplier credit recoveries, and NetSuite vendor updates seamlessly."
