| Decision | Legacy | Decision Supplier Relationship Management | Supplier Relationship Management | Procurement | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Adcorp Holdings engaged Decision to build a branded Microsoft SharePoint portal for its Dragons' Den innovation programme in South Africa, enabling structured idea capture, tracking and reporting across the group. Decision Supplier Relationship Management in the Supplier Relationship Management category is plausibly reusable from that portal work, because Decision's product pages describe vendor and supplier portal capabilities that align with the portal architecture delivered for Adcorp.
The delivered SharePoint portal included idea capture forms, workflowed review and approval steps, and reporting dashboards, which together supported program management and auditability. Those functional modules map to typical Supplier Relationship Management capabilities, and Decision Supplier Relationship Management would naturally extend the portal to include supplier onboarding, supplier self service portal, performance tracking, contract and document repository, and automated supplier communications.
The implementation used Microsoft SharePoint as the platform layer and served the Adcorp Group South Africa HR innovation programme, positioning content management and reporting as core technical components. For a Supplier Relationship Management reuse scenario, the same SharePoint document store and workflow engine could be leveraged, with integration points expected for procurement processes, finance interfaces and enterprise identity services to provide supplier access and reporting continuity.
Governance implications center on introducing role based access, approval workflows and audit trails for supplier interactions, and reassigning ownership to procurement and sourcing functions while retaining HR program governance for stakeholder engagement. Workflow restructuring would focus on supplier lifecycle stages, exception handling and centralized reporting to support supplier governance and compliance.
The Dragons' Den portal produced over 150 ideas with stated projected financial upside, demonstrating platform scale for structured intake and reporting. Use of Decision Supplier Relationship Management for vendor management at Adcorp is explicitly inferred from Decision's vendor portal capabilities and is not described in the Adcorp case study, so the SRM mapping should be treated as plausible reuse rather than a documented deployment.
