Manage your third-party risk with Tandem

Companies are increasingly dependent on third parties to provide services. With this increased use of vendors comes the need for increased oversight.

Avoid complicated spreadsheets, manually updated calendars, and trying to organize files across network folders. Tandem provides a simplified and streamlined interface, designed to organize your vendor management program.

Oversight

Manage and store your important vendor relationship details.

Combining a central repository of vendor data with powerful reporting provides time-effective access to the information you need to oversee your vendors.

Then, rate each vendor's risk across a customizable list of risk categories (e.g., strategic, reputation, operational, transaction, credit, and compliance).

Complete contract reviews based on templates and stay informed of key contract dates with automated reminders.
