Add custom fields to vendors

Feature RequestVendor management

It would be great to have the ability to add custom fields to vendors. This would allow us to track important details such as:

  • Has the contract been signed?

  • Do they delete data within six months?

  • Where is their data located?

  • Where do they process their data?

    Quick update here: At Secfix we carefully analyse every potential custom field before implementing it. We try to avoid 'feature bloating' as we are highly focused on building something that's easy to use and maintain. We typically do it by analysing each use case separately. It's evident that vendors will need a polish and additional research. As soon as we have more time, we will talk to each customer again and try to build specific use cases. For now this will be on stand by.

    Upvoting and commenting on behalf of Andreas Pf. to introduce his use case.

    Background:

    Considering the ISO 9001 requirements, companies must conduct yearly vendor evaluations to assess aspects such as reliability, punctuality, and overall performance. Currently, Andreas and his team store these evaluations in an Excel sheet, which is inefficient and detached from the vendor management process within the platform.

    Expected Benefits:

    • Ensures vendor evaluations are directly tied to the vendor profile, reducing reliance on external spreadsheets.

    • Helps meet ISO 9001 compliance by keeping evaluation records in a centralized system.

    • Improves vendor performance tracking and decision-making.

    • Enhances data accessibility for audits and procurement planning.

    Thanks for the feedback Florian H.! Do I understand correctly: there is a vendor(s)' account manager in your vendor list whom you usually contact via email but you want to add a current phone number of this person?

    If yes, I'd appreciate if you could answer these:

    • Why would you like to save the phone numbers?

    • Where do you store the phone numbers of your vendors' today?

      Some vendors like traditional service providers have only phone number, they don't have a phone number. They have a form we don't use though.

      We contact them via phone as primary contact form. Lucas Backes
