From complexity to simplicity: Kati’s approach to supplier management
Traditionally, supplier qualification is a complex and time-consuming process, requiring the collection and verification of numerous documents, often in paper form. Kati revolutionizes this approach by offering a centralized digital solution that automates the different steps of the process, from information collection to performance evaluation.
The power of online questionnaires: a new tool for automated supplier qualification
The heart of Kati’s innovation lies in the use of dynamic and customizable online questionnaires. These questionnaires are not simple forms to fill in, but intelligent tools that allow: 
- Automate the request for documentation: based on the answers provided by the supplier in the questionnaire, Kati can automatically generate a specific request for documentation, avoiding the need to send separate requests and reducing the risk of omissions. For example, if a supplier claims to be in a particular sector, the system can automatically request certification.
- Evaluate supplier quality through KPIs: Kati integrates with KPI indexes to enrich the evaluation process. This means that, in addition to the information provided by the supplier, you can link the responses to custom indexes, obtaining a more complete and objective assessment of the quality of the supplier you are accrediting.
- Customise the qualification process: questionnaires can be easily customised to suit the specific needs of each company and supplier category. You can define specific questions, set conditional logics (for example, show certain questions only based on previous answers) and assign scores to evaluate the answers.
The benefits of Kati for your company
The use of Kati and automated qualification offers many advantages:
- Saving time and resources: process automation drastically reduces the time spent on managing suppliers, freeing up valuable resources for other tasks.
- Increased efficiency and accuracy: the elimination of manual document handling reduces the risk of errors and omissions, ensuring greater accuracy of information.

In an increasingly competitive and regulated market, the effective management of the supplier network has become crucial to the success of any company.

For this reason, Len Solution has developed within Kati, the main software for supplier document compliance, a new functionality that simplifies and automates the qualification and document management of suppliers, thanks to the use of intelligent online questionnaires and automated qualification process.
