Manage projects and vendors with confidence
The AffirmX Vendor Management Solution is a comprehensive project management tool designed especially for credit unions. This vendor management solution gives you a directed workflow, secure online storage of key documents, questionnaires to guide you through the process, calendar prompts to keep you on task, and it automatically generates reports to document vendor status at any point along the way. And, because it is from the League and AffirmX, you will find it very affordable.

Some of the key features we know you will benefit from :
  • Secure, cloud-based storage organized by vendor
  • An RFP guide
  • A product/service risk assessment questionnaire which produces a written risk assessment document, suitable for sharing with staff or board members
  • A workflow management tool for each vendor that you can use for due diligence documentation, user references and more. You can even customize due dates for key deliverables
