Case Study: Vendor360 achieves 90% reduction in manual vendor prequalification and scales vendor operations with CENTRL Inc.'s Vendor360

Vendor360 Helps Global Electric Vehicle Manufacturer Automate Vendor Processes to Scale Operations and Reduce Risk

Vendor360 partnered with CENTRL Inc. to help a large global electric vehicle OEM overcome a slow, labor‑intensive vendor prequalification process that relied on Word and Excel questionnaires and manual data entry. The OEM needed a no‑code vendor risk management platform to eliminate manual entries, create a single source of truth across stakeholders, and feed validated vendor data into selection systems to support aggressive near‑term expansion.

CENTRL Inc. implemented its Vendor360 solution to automate prequalification, introduce automated scoring and notifications, and close the feedback loop between prequalification and vendor performance. The result was a 90% reduction in manual data entry, faster prioritization of risk items, improved cross‑department transparency, and the avoidance of vendor application fees that could exceed $20K—enabling the team to focus on value‑added work and continuous process improvement.
