Does Your Vendor Onboarding Feel Like A Black Hole?

With Aravo, procurement teams can move beyond simply collecting third-party onboarding data to actively assessing risk posture. It’s a smarter approach to procurement risk management.

Supply Chain Resilience

In the early 2000s, TPRM focused on basic supplier or sourcing management, which eventually evolved to include managing supplier risk. Even today, many Aravo customers concentrate on supply chain resilience as a starting phase for TPRM. Our comprehensive workflow can alert you to potential issues, automate supplier business impact assessments, and manage your response — allowing you to potentially avoid disruptions that would impact business operations.

GRC

A robust TPRM program integrates governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) best practices. It goes beyond risk assessment to implement proactive governance, defining ownership, accountability, and processes. This approach ensures comprehensive risk management and extends compliance obligations across third parties. A third-party GRC program is not just an extension of internal GRC but an optimized framework for managing third-party risks effectively.
