VendorScoreIT: SaaS platform for supplier evaluation in Vendor Management
Product technology built from real enterprise experience. VendorScoreIT is a SaaS platform specialised in the evaluation and continuous scoring of suppliers, designed to support Vendor Managers and Vendor Management teams in complex organisations.
The platform enables companies to measure, compare and analyse supplier performance through objective scorecards, clear metrics and a structured view of their vendor ecosystem, supporting strategic, data-driven decision-making.
Offing participates in VendorScoreIT as a co-founding partner and technology partner, leading the product architecture, design and development.
The Challenge: professionalising supplier evaluation
In many organisations, supplier evaluation still relies on:
- Disconnected spreadsheets
- Manual and subjective assessments
- Inconsistent or fragmented data
- Limited visibility over time
This makes the Vendor Manager’s role more difficult and turns Vendor Management into a reactive process rather than a strategic one.
The challenge behind VendorScoreIT was clear:
👉 to turn supplier evaluation into a structured, objective, automated and scalable process aligned with real business needs.
The Solution: a SaaS platform focused on Vendor Management
VendorScoreIT was conceived as a vendor scoring engine, not as a generic management tool. Its core purpose is to help organisations truly understand their suppliers and make better decisions.
As a co-founding partner, Offing designed and developed a platform that provides:
Key Features
- Supplier scorecards: Based on objective and configurable metrics to evaluate performance, compliance and other relevant criteria.
- Automated evaluation processes: Reducing manual effort through automatic calculations and data consolidation.
- Longitudinal view of supplier performance: Tracking supplier evolution over time, not just snapshots.
- Clear dashboards for Vendor Managers: Visualising key information to prioritise actions, detect risks and support strategic decisions.
- Integration with existing systems: Ability to connect with ERPs and corporate systems to feed evaluations with real data.
Technology and product approach
VendorScoreIT is built as a modern SaaS platform, designed to:
- Scale in users and data volume

Offing contributes a strong product engineering mindset, balancing user experience with long-term technical sustainability.
Results and value delivered
VendorScoreIT enables organisations to:
- Standardise supplier evaluation processes

Beyond the product itself, the project brings additional value to Offing.
Offing as co-founder: direct impact on our client projects
Being a co-founding partner of VendorScoreIT gives Offing a unique advantage as a custom software development company:
- We experience first-hand what it means to build and scale a SaaS product
- We make real decisions around architecture, roadmap and technical debt
- We understand the tensions between business, technology and product
- We know what it means to maintain a live production platform
This allows us to operate on both sides:
👉 as SaaS product builders
👉 and as a technology partner for companies developing their own platforms
That experience translates directly into stronger technical judgement and more robust solutions for our clients.
Technology with a product mindset
VendorScoreIT is a clear example of how at Offing we do more than develop software: we build digital products with business vision, technical criteria and a long-term focus.
