Welcome to Raindrop. Thanks for allowing us to spend this time showing you our tool at a quick pace.
Today, the first thing you might notice is Raindrop’s clean user interface and user experience. We’re going to be using an imaginary company, which we call Great Products.
I’ll have my avatar here that will tell me who I am and what I’m using. I’m always going to be on the latest version of Raindrop. The days of having to do version control upgrades, user acceptance testing, integration testing, regression testing for version control — that goes away. As a matter of fact, today I’m just going to be using a standard Google Chrome browser, but of course you could use any browser of your choosing.
The thing you might notice about Raindrop is on the blue navigation bar, you’ll see all of our applications.
You’ll see our supplier relationship management module. Our contract lifecycle management module — we just call that contracts, or sometimes CLM for short. Our orders module. Remember, on the slides we call that e-procurement, but you see the PR-to-PO.
You’ll also see in e-procurement our catalogs — punch-in, punch-out, and hosted. You’ll also see sourcing events, so we could do RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, or reverse auctions — all available right here.
Of course, document requests. Maybe you want to send a supplier a document, like let’s say a non-disclosure agreement. Everything stays in the system, so everybody can use one single source of truth, as opposed to things getting lost in email, for example.
We’ll skip dashboards, but it is a flexible interface allowing people to use their environments to see what they want to get out of it.
Scorecards — there’s really four different types of scorecards that Raindrop uses here. Things such as QBRs. I want to do a business review with my suppliers. Evaluation — I did an RFP, and my internal stakeholders want to be able to evaluate the quality of the bidder’s responses. Maybe they give them a five for the best and a one for the worst.
Qualification of a supplier — I’m not sure if I want to use this supplier. I want to send them a bunch of qualification questions, and off it goes.
