Vendor Master Data Management (VMM)


Glossary

What is Vendor Master Data Management (VMM)?

Vendor Master Data Management (VMM) serves as the central hub for maintaining accurate and consistent vendor information within an organization. It acts as a “single source of truth”, capturing, cleansing, and managing vendor master data across various business processes. The goal is to ensure the integrity and reliability of vendor data, which is crucial for effective decision-making and operational efficiency.

By utilizing VMM, organizations can seamlessly feed clean and standardized vendor data into multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems across the business. This integration facilitates efficient processes, reduces the risk of errors, and minimizes associated costs related to fraud, rework, and poor data quality. VMM plays a vital role in enhancing data accuracy, fostering compliance, and optimizing vendor-related activities within the enterprise.
