Vendor Management Simplified
IS YOUR BOARDROOM THE NEXT TARGET FOR STATE CAPTURE?
Corruption weakens supply chains and exposes executives to rising compliance risks. Blink gives organisations real-time supplier checks, verified vendors and data-led oversight to protect procurement, unlock SME access and support safer, faster decision-making.
The Madlanga Commission confirmed what many feared: corruption doesn’ t just permeate the state – it undermines procurement systems. Are you sure it hasn’ t infiltrated your supply chain? Years of inquiries have revealed a harsh truth.
Public procurement has become a popular avenue for illicit financial flows, and South Africa has lost an estimated R1.5 trillion in economic opportunities while waiting for political structures to reform. We cannot delay any further. The solution must be proactive, technology-driven, and rooted in corporate integrity.
For Corporate Procurement Executives, your role has transformed. You are no longer just a Procurement Manager; you are the Gatekeeper of Corporate Integrity, operating in an environment where compliance failures can result in criminal investigation.
With the cost of non-compliance now 2.7 times higher than maintaining compliance, risk aversion is understandable – but it often leads to unintended consequences.
That fear creates an invisible barrier that prevents SMEs from entering your supply chain and hampers innovation, as
well as cost-saving opportunities in your supply chain. The exclusion is not caused by incompetence but by outdated compliance measures that overwhelm SMEs and slow down corporate decision-making.
So, how do you safeguard your career, achieve transformation targets, and minimise catastrophic compliance risks – without hampering supply chain innovation?
ProcureSense has assisted corporates in localising over R5 billion to SMEs and saving more than R1 billion in procurement expenses through data-driven sourcing and supplier diversification. Now, we introduce the next evolution of integrity-driven procurement: Blink.
Blink is a cloud-based unified procurement intelligence platform that automates real-time supplier vetting by checking vendors against external regulatory data at the source. Through BlinkNet – a corporate-grade marketplace, the“ Yellow Pages of verified suppliers” – organisations can easily discover, onboard, and purchase from new vendors. Blink also offers comprehensive spend analytics to reduce leakage, drive savings, and accelerate transformation.
For SMEs, Blink offers more than just compliance – it provides access. Vetted SMEs gain entry into corporate supply chains and can also sell directly to other SMEs on the platform, unlocking new growth opportunities.
TURN COMPLIANCE INTO OPPORTUNITY.
