Case Study: National University achieves supplier diversity goals with TealBook

How a top-ranked national university used TealBook to reach their supplier diversity goals

National University, a top-ranked national university, was struggling to diversify its supplier base and meet mandated diverse vendor percentages across federal, state, and university requirements. The procurement team had historically relied on existing relationships and needed a better way to vet new suppliers, strengthen vendor master data, and identify diverse suppliers more efficiently. TealBook’s supplier data management platform was introduced as the solution.

TealBook helped National University automate supplier data collection, verification, and enrichment, improving data quality and giving procurement immediate access to diversity certifications and other key supplier information. On the first pass, 70% of suppliers matched with real-time diversity certifications and other critical data points, enabling better reporting, stronger outreach to suppliers, and improved support for university-wide diversity spend goals.
