Supplier data management is the governance, collection, cleansing, and maintenance of supplier master data across enterprise systems. It ensures accuracy, completeness, and consistency of information used for procurement decisions, risk assessment, and supplier performance evaluation.

Effective supplier data management involves standardizing data formats, deduplicating records, enriching profiles with third-party data, and maintaining a single source of truth.
