One Supplier, Three Vendor Records

A supplier onboarded through procurement, invoiced through accounts payable and vetted through compliance often ends up as three separate records. Each system sees one of them, and nobody sees the supplier.

Three vendors, three payment terms, three risk reviews. It is one supplier.

The Problem

Why Fragmented Supplier Data Costs You

Supplier data is created in many places. Procurement onboards a vendor, accounts payable sets up a payee, a business unit adds the same company to its own ERP, and compliance opens a review under the legal name. Different spellings, a subsidiary listed as a new vendor, or an updated tax ID that never syncs back each look like a new supplier.

The cost shows up quietly. Duplicate payments slip through because the invoice matched a different vendor record. Spend reports undercount your largest suppliers. Negotiations happen without the full volume on the table, and risk teams review the same company twice while missing the record that actually changed.

Manual cleanup does not keep up. A one-off vendor master project fixes today’s duplicates, and new ones arrive with the next onboarding form.

Duplicate Payments

The same invoice is paid to two vendor records that are really one supplier.

Understated Spend

Spend is split across duplicates, so your biggest suppliers look smaller than they are.

Gaps In Oversight

Reviews, contracts and certifications sit on one record while orders flow through another.

The Solution

One Supplier Record Every System Shares

Resolve supplier records across every system into one entity per real supplier, with a stable ID that every system can carry. Match on names, addresses, tax IDs, bank details and contacts together, because no single field is reliable on its own.

Keep it running. New vendors, updates and deactivations should flow into the same resolved supplier, so the view stays current without another cleanup project.

FAQ

Supplier 360 Questions

What is Supplier 360?

A single view of each real supplier, built by resolving vendor, payee and supplier records from every system into one entity with a persistent ID.

Can Zingg match suppliers with different tax IDs or no tax ID?

Yes. Deterministic rules use tax IDs where they agree, and learned matching on names, addresses and contacts catches suppliers where the ID is missing or out of date.

Does Zingg change my ERP?

No. Zingg reads supplier records from your data platform and writes resolved suppliers back there. You decide how the results flow to ERP and procurement systems.

Where does it run?

Inside your data platform on Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Google Cloud or AWS.
