In Validaide, we work with different views on a supplier or a supplier location.
A supplier company must be added under before you can create your own view on their capabilities.
To create your own view, you need to answer the questionnaire for the supplier. Please discuss with your management whether to use the view provided by the supplier or to create and use your own. If the company is active on Validaide and has defined their capabilities, you can view the capabilities in Validaide and easily copy them. Otherwise, the questionnaire needs to be answered by the responsible person.
Companies can turn on public data sharing, meaning that their certain core capabilities are visible to their (potential) customers, thus forwarders, within Validaide. Please note that we prevent any competitors from accessing this data. If a company does not have public sharing turned on, you can still request their information by sending them a sharing request. We always suggest sending a sharing request, so that the company knows that you are interested in their data.
Go to the menu and click on the company. Here you will also find the public data in the Compare tab:
You can copy the supplier's answer into your own view by clicking on the answer with the blue dotted line around it. To edit the questionnaire, enter your own answers under the Questionnaire tab. Even after copying answers from the supplier, you can still modify them in the Questionnaire tab.
To answer or edit the Questionnaire:
-
- Answer the questions by simply clicking on the correct answer.
- Add a comment if you wish to clarify an answer.
- Delete an answer by clicking the reset button.
Once you have filled in the questionnaire sufficiently, it is important to ensure it reaches Reviewed status. Otherwise, this information cannot be used in a lane risk assessment.
