FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does PacTerm find alternative vendors?
For the supply line you select, PacTerm uses the product family, contracted items, region, country and current supplier to return 3 to 6 ranked substitute vendors, each with product match, a fit rationale, a market note, risk and confidence.
Does it work at SKU level?
It uses the contracted products extracted from each contract (the SKUs and supply items named in your agreements) together with the product family, so suggestions reflect what you actually buy, not just a broad category.
Are the suggestions verified suppliers?
They are starting points based on market knowledge, clearly labelled with a disclaimer. Validate capability, pricing and compliance through your normal supplier onboarding before engaging.
Which plan includes Strategic Sourcing?
Strategic Sourcing is included on Professional and Enterprise, which include the Analytics step that builds the processed supply-line data.
