Avendra recently updated its partner portal, myAvendra, to include a number of enhancements which increase purchasing reporting capabilities and optimize the experience for mobile and desktop users.

myAvendra gives customers 24-hour access to custom information on Avendra resources and suppliers and is customized by users to directly deliver only the most relevant information.  For example, program updates with high-level summaries of new suppliers and major changes to key programs; periodic reports that identify food costs and related issues; advisories that notify users of product or services issues; and a monthly recap of program updates and new suppliers, are all available through myAvendra.  Additionally, customers can keep track of their supply chain costs with comprehensive reports that detail spend for a specific time period and identify opportunities with Avendra suppliers which may not be currently utilized.

Among the enhancements in this most recent upgrade is a new savings opportunities feature, which identifies cost reduction opportunities on comparable products; with the goal of lowering customers’ food costs without lowering quality. All non-contracted purchases are evaluated and alternatives which offer savings and are readily available are recommended — all easily found in the user’s Impact Reports page.

Additionally, myAvendra has always provided a directory of contracted suppliers and service providers available to each user. With myAvendra 2.0 users will now have an easier time saving, referencing and sharing this information for example, by exporting a complete customized list of contracted suppliers.

“Avendra is committed to ensuring the highest levels of support for our customers.  The myAvendra portal serves as a supply chain and procurement resource center for customers to access purchasing data, program and supplier information, opportunities for savings and much more,” said Stacey Dash, VP of Marketing, Communications and Sustainability.
