One assessment cycle, end to end
Here's exactly what happens from the first reminder to a ranked, mitigated supplier.
- Step 1
Due date approaches
About two months before an annual review, Venkelt prepares the cycle and notifies the supplier owner.
- Step 2
Supplier is invited
A scheduled email goes to the supplier's contact with a secure link to the hosted questionnaire — no login required.
- Step 3
Supplier completes the form
The supplier representative answers the questionnaire and uploads any required attachments.
- Step 4
AI does the first pass
AI maps weak answers and unsatisfactory attachments to predefined risk buckets and highlights what to look at — it never decides.
- Step 5
Owner makes decisions
The supplier owner reviews findings, raises risks, or flags items for further investigation.
- Step 6
Iterate with the supplier
If more info is needed, a new iteration of the questionnaire is sent. Subsequent rounds are reviewed by the owner directly.
- Step 7
Mitigate raised risks
Owner and supplier collaborate on a mitigation plan. Once executed, the risk is closed in Venkelt.
- Step 8
Rank the supplier
When the assessment is complete, the owner answers a short survey and Venkelt derives a supplier rank for the portfolio.
