Kodiak Hub gives us one place to manage supplier information, assessments, documents and due diligence. It is much better than trying to manage this through spreadsheets, emails and folders.

The reminders and document control are useful, especially for things like certificates, supplier questionnaires and evidence. It also gives better visibility of supplier information and helps keep things more controlled.

The support from the Kodiak team has also been very good. They understand how we use the system and are quick to help when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only minor points really. We have had the odd issue with the submit button, but nothing major.

The scoring can also be a bit complicated at first, so it is important to understand how it works before rolling it out wider.

Apart from that, no major issues from my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely user-friendly, even for those outside of Procurement who may not use it as often. The best feature is how clearly it shows the percentage score for each answer, by category, and overall. This information can also be exported as a PDF to share with stakeholders, which is useful because it helps validate any potential risks with a particular supplier.

From a personal perspective—and this is really just nit-picking—I wish the colours related to the score were red, amber, and green, rather than orange, blue and green. This in no way impacts the system or how the results are viewed, but in the UK we’re used to a traffic-light system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s simple and very intuitive to use, and it presents all the information in a really clear way. I also like how adaptable it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have many comments at the moment. At some point, I’d like to create an API connection to extract the data into a central location for further analysis. If that isn’t possible, it would be a bit disappointing; if it is, it would be a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Compliance of Suppliers: Management and Tracking

Kodiak has made it more straightforward to manage and track supplier compliance. Automation features reduce the resources required for oversight, ensuring that compliance processes are both efficient and reliable.

2. Categories – and Management of Categories

The system enables enhanced reporting and allows the business to monitor category-specific performance. It also supports collaboration between procurement, quality, and sustainability teams, who can focus on the most relevant supplier groups.

This helps us to manage suppliers based on their risk profile and business importance.

3. Responsive Development

6. Kodiak is a great team to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been a bit limiting not being able to score the attributes ourselves. This means that the evaluation of our suppliers and fine-tuning of how to assess each question takes longer time then it needs to. It would have been much better if we as users could set and fine-tune scores ourselves.

However I know this is on the roadmap for Kodiak hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KH has the ability to offer an end-to-end solution, supporting you every step of the way, from reviewing a potential supplier, during evaluation/auditing, onboarding and eventually operational performance.

A thorough evaluation on our end showed KH was the best choice in terms of what we need; straight forward data and evaluation without overcomplicating the product.

Making something simple is difficult and here is where KH team succeeded in creating an easy-to-use software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KH staff has been very helpful in terms of spend analytics but, seeing as there is a growing demand from their customer base, including us, we do expect this module to be strengthen in the time to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Kodiak is that it is easy to use and to understand. Most functions are intuitive and the visual side of it is nice. Also, the Kodiak team is helpful and approacheable and help is often offered fast if needed. Further, it is a plus that the platform evolves a lot depending on market trends and demands. For example, AI is now being more integrated in the platform and new tools to handle increasing regulatory demands are added as needed. This makes Kodiak a helpful tool to navigate supplier relationships and to work with sustainability and governance in the supply chain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A challenge for us when it comes to Kodiak is our complex company structure. We are a 100+ company group who are operating very decentralized but at the same time aiming to use Kodiak in a streamlined way, creating in-group synergies. The support and help we get from the Kodiak team to make this a reality is good, and we hope that the platform can evolve even more in the future with solutions for company groups like our own.
