How it works

Six steps to a signed decision

The supplier answers in the vendor portal, and you review and decide in the platform. Finally both parties can sign the decision, which is then sealed.

  1. 1

    Step 1 · You

    Send the form

    Pick a ready-made template or your own form and send it to the supplier. The form appears in the portal, and the people who are to answer get a notification.

  2. 2

    Step 2 · The supplier

    Answers and evidence in the portal

    The supplier answers section by section. Extra questions only appear when an answer calls for them, and certificates and reports in the supplier's evidence library can be attached straight away. An authorised person at the supplier confirms that the answers are correct.

  3. 3

    Step 3 · You

    Review the answers

    You see answers, evidence and how much each question counts towards the result, all in one place. If you have questions, you send a message straight to the person who answered.

  4. 4

    Step 4 Being introduced

    AI evaluation

    AI reads the answers and shows, section by section, where they fall short of the requirements. You always make the decision, and the AI's result is only used once you have approved it. By default the answers are processed in Solvere's AI service at Microsoft within the EU, with names, personal identity numbers and email addresses hidden. Where and how the AI runs can be adapted to your requirements.

  5. 5

    Step 5 · You

    Approve or reject

    Both parties see the decision straight away. You can decide how long an approval lasts and get a reminder before it runs out.

  6. 6

    Step 6 · Both parties

    Sign and seal

    Both parties can sign decisions and agreements right in the platform. On your side, the person who is to sign finds the signing under Tasks and can sign straight from there. The document is sealed, so any later change would show. For important documents you can choose BankID.

Sealed decision

How a decision is sealed

The documents are laid out, the answers fill in, both parties sign and the seal is pressed on. Scroll through the steps, or click one.

Solvere templates

Ready-made forms for 12 frameworks

Ready-made questionnaires in four levels are included and in place from the start. The questions are linked to the requirements in the 12 frameworks below.

Four levels

From a basic level to an in-depth review. Pick the level by how important the supplier is to you.

  • Questions, extra questions and scoring ready to use
  • Linked to 12 frameworks

Being introducedThe AI evaluation applies to every published form, your own as well as Solvere's templates.

Signatures

Signed decisions that can be checked

Decisions and agreements can be signed by both parties right in the platform. Anyone who then receives the document can check for themselves that it is genuine and unchanged, without logging in.

  • Signing right in the platform. The document gets a digital stamp that shows whether it has been changed since it was signed.
  • BankID when it matters. You choose BankID when you send the document. The signer then identifies themselves before signing.
  • Both parties in the same document. You and the supplier's representative can each sign in your own place in the same document.
  • The signature on the document. The signer draws their signature and places it on the right page.
  • Check without logging in. Anyone who receives the document can check that it is genuine, without needing an account.
The vendor portal

Files, messages and evidence in one place

The vendor portal is part of every customer's core platform, with shared files, messages, a notification inbox and My tasks. With Vendor assessment, the supplier can also answer forms, keep evidence and confirm its answers there.

Shared files

Folders where every version is kept and files are stored encrypted. Access is given per person, on both sides.

Messages

Conversations between your case handler and the supplier's contact person. If someone is away, it shows, and the case can be handed to a colleague.

Evidence library

Certificates and reports are uploaded once and used again in the next assessment.

Notification inbox

A notification when an assessment is sent, an answer comes in, something needs signing or a message arrives. It goes to those with permission for the matter.
