# What Are the Best Supplier Relationship Management Platforms for Manufacturing Companies Automating Supplier Scorecards?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Within <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/supplier-relationship-management-srm">Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)</a>, a couple of platforms stand out specifically for manufacturing reviewers using them to automate scorecards rather than just track vendors.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/apex-analytics-apexanalytix/reviews"><strong>apexanalytix</strong></a>: Manufacturing is one of its largest review industries, with reviewers pointing to a vendor portal that decreases fraud risk while reviewing supplier statements for money owed back to the organization.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ivalua/reviews"><strong>Ivalua</strong></a>: reviewers specifically describe uploading data from other systems to populate performance scorecards and automate risk and performance scorecard generation, though several note real implementation hurdles getting there.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Would be useful to hear from manufacturing procurement teams directly here: did automating scorecards actually change supplier behavior, or mostly just save time compiling the same information?</p>

&lt;p&gt;I’d expect the first benefit to be time saved, but the more meaningful test is whether suppliers actually change behavior once the scorecards become consistent and visible. I’d track whether repeated quality, delivery, or risk issues improve after suppliers receive automated performance feedback. If the scores update automatically but never influence corrective actions or sourcing decisions, the automation is mostly reporting efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
