AI Is Changing Service Management. Are You Ready?
Discover how AI is reshaping service management with tools like Jira Service Management and explore how your organization can gain measurable...
Supplier Service Management (SSM) gives mid-market supply chain teams a right-sized solution that brings structure, speed, and control to supplier operations, without the burden of an enterprise platform or the limitations of spreadsheets and email chains.
Supplier operations at mid-market organizations are stuck in limbo between complex Enterprise Supplier Lifecycle Management (SLM) tools and inefficient manual workarounds that are messy and risky.
Manual supplier onboarding, disconnected processes, and a lack of automation create long lead times. When onboarding drags on for weeks, it erodes supplier trust and puts your cost-control strategy at risk.
You run a lean team. You can’t afford to deploy a platform that takes months to set up or a system that requires dedicated admin teams to run. You need something that just works with minimal lift.
Without centralized tracking, supplier escalations get passed around in inboxes, creating delays with no accountability. You’re one miscommunication away from disrupting your entire supply chain.
Mid-market firms relying on manual workflows face 3x more onboarding delays than peers using agile systems.

As a foundational part of our Supply Chain Unification (SCU) approach, SSM applies service management principles to the “Source” component of the SCOR model, streamlining how suppliers are engaged, supported, and managed. The result is a more agile and resilient supply chain, where supplier collaboration is easier, faster, and built for scale.
Using Jira Service Management (JSM), an ITSM platform trusted by organizations worldwide, SSM combines enterprise-grade capabilities with E7’s supply chain expertise to help mid-market supply chain teams bring agility and structure to day-to-day workflows, from onboarding to escalations and support, without the overhead of enterprise tools.
Accelerate onboarding by replacing scattered email trails and SharePoint lists with automated, self-serve workflows that give suppliers a clear and guided experience from day one.
Give suppliers a single, structured hub to submit documents, fill out forms, and track onboarding status. Everyone from the supplier to your stakeholders sees the same information in real-time, so issues are clearer, approvals move faster, and onboarding time reduces from weeks to days.
Accelerate time-to-engagement and reduce manual handoffs with automated approval flows, ensuring that planning and procurement timelines stay aligned.
We partner up with your procurement and operations teams to map, streamline and standardize every step of your supplier onboarding process, removing redundancies, defining clear roles and implementing best practices to cut lead time and start projects faster.
Unlike traditional, heavyweight enterprise SLM tools, E7’s SSM solution is tailored for mid-market supplier operations.
Tap into a proven, flexible platform that your organization could already be using (JSM) to unlock SLM-like workflows, but built just right by E7 to fit the mid-market supplier management needs.
Avoid the pain of starting from scratch. We will work with you to enhance your JSM system for supplier onboarding, escalations, and support.
