Contractor & Supplier Communication

Contractor & Supplier Communication

Manage, track and audit your communications with contractors and suppliers

Clear, consistent communication is the key to successful business. With InformWorks you can manage, send and track a variety of communications between your internal users and/or contractors and suppliers. Corporate policies, updates and event notifications can be distributed via a secure document exchange protocol, tracked, and the recipients' actions recorded. This allows you to see whether an individual has received, viewed and acknowledged a specific communication, and then audit the recipients' actions at a later date.

Features of InformWorks

  • Securely manage your communications, complete with status tracking.
  • Select target audiences for each communication, from a single person to an entire list.
  • Receive and record electronic acknowledgements that confirm receipt and understanding of communications.
  • Enable clear, consistent internal and external communication between employees and/or contractors and suppliers.

InformWorks in use

A large corporation instituted a policy forbidding the use of cell phones while operating a vehicle during company hours. Communicating this policy to every contractor, supplier and individual, and keeping track of who had acknowledged reading and understanding the new policy, would have been a difficult and costly process using existing, manual tools. With InformWorks, the message was sent, receipt confirmed, and acknowledgement by the recipient automatically recorded. As new contractors and suppliers are engaged across the organization, they are informed of the policy via InformWorks and their acknowledgement retained in a single, auditable location.
