“Being able to search and source third party manufacturers easily with complex features is key to our go-to-market strategy.” SpotSource was developed to help large organizations, especially the Fortune 500, save time, improve performance, and empower people as they search for and work with service providers.
Discover Partners Hiding In Plain Sight
There is too much complexity inside companies and R&D manufacturing might have the most complex variables. Your teams need an easy way to search and procure services from across your roster of approved manufacturers and other R&D suppliers. No more 500+ column spreadsheets.
SpotSource brings to life your third party manufacturing ecosystem with data tailored to your service organization and company. People will be able to see things like which colleagues worked with a supplier and what specific projects have been done for your company. This saves time, increases community knowledge, and reduces risk on multiple levels.

Deliver One Unified Experience
SpotSource integrates with a wide variety of enterprise systems, delivering one unified experience for departments like R&D to find, engage, and manage their suppliers. The benefits can be seen and felt across the business and with your partners too.
If you want a unified, end to end marketplace, SpotSource has you covered. SpotSource syncs core supplier data, risk management, contracts, and much more. If you have our projects and bidding modules, the system can integrate with your payment system so users can even create purchase orders and goods receipts from within SpotSource.
For R&D and third party manufacturing use cases, the system is typically searching using complex combinations of criteria that are different between categories. For example, if you are producing new food and beverage products versus cleaning supplies, these categories will have different of certifications, ingredient profiles, packaging containers, and closures. SpotSource makes navigating these differences easy.
During a project engagement, you can store all your files in one place for both your supplier and internal experts. And, at the end, make it easy for your supplier to submit Proof of Execution for the built in approval workflow which supports an auditable archive.
