Simmeth SC-Manager is an AI-powered Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) platform designed for mid-sized and large enterprises. Developed and hosted in Germany, the SC-Manager serves as the central digital hub for all supplier-related processes – from initial onboarding through continuous evaluation, risk management, and strategic supplier development. End-to-End Supplier Lifecycle Management The SC-Manager covers the complete supplier lifecycle in a single, integrated SaaS solution. Procurement teams can manage supplier onboarding with automated self-registration workflows, conduct supplier qualification and classification using configurable scorecards and algorithms, and maintain a structured 360° supplier file with all relevant documents, certificates, and KPIs in one place. Supplier Evaluation & Performance Management The platform provides a methodical, weighted scorecard system that combines hard facts (e.g., delivery performance, quality metrics) with soft facts gathered through web-based questionnaires and surveys. Detailed dashboards and drill-down reports give purchasing managers real-time transparency into supplier performance across product groups and categories. Risk & Compliance Management The SC-Manager's Risk & Compliance module consolidates internal assessments and external data sources – including financial risk indicators, Google Alerts, and the Fragile States Index – into a clear 360° risk overview. It fully supports compliance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), EU CSDDD, REACH, RoHS, and CBAM regulations, making it the ideal solution for companies operating under European regulatory frameworks. Collaboration & Supply Chain Communication Through an integrated supplier portal, the SC-Manager enables seamless digital collaboration with suppliers worldwide. Tendering, order confirmations, complaint management, transport documents, and invoice processing are all handled within a single, workflow-driven platform – eliminating fragmented email communication and manual processes. AI-Powered Intelligence The SC-Manager's built-in AI agent allows procurement teams to query their entire supplier database via natural language chat, receive automated risk alerts, and leverage AI-assisted document recognition (OCR) for faster data processing. The AI continuously monitors the supplier lifecycle and proactively surfaces risks and recommendations. Proven Results with Leading Organizations Trusted by companies such as EWE Aktiengesellschaft, MAN Energy Solutions, Messe München, VBZ Zurich, and ÖBB, the SC-Manager has delivered measurable results – including annual procurement savings of over €400,000 at KHD plant engineering. Certified with the "Software Made in Germany" seal, the SC-Manager is fully GDPR-compliant and available as a cloud-based SaaS solution with ERP integrations (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and others).
