About TriVista:
TriVista is a consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses enhance their operational efficiency. They collaborate with manufacturers to fortify their supply chains, lower costs, and identify reliable suppliers. TriVista’s mission is to enable companies to operate more effectively while minimizing risks in sourcing and procurement.
TriVista’s Challenge: Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience
TriVista navigates a complex global supply chain landscape, where geopolitical factors and shifting market conditions pose significant sourcing challenges. The firm required a solution to:
· Identify and qualify suppliers quickly
· Automate and streamline RFQ & contract management
· Reduce procurement cycle times
· Strengthen risk mitigation strategies
The Solution: Leveraging MESH for Global Sourcing
TriVista adopted MESH SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) nearly two years ago to tackle these challenges. Since its implementation, MESH has been instrumental in transforming its sourcing and procurement operations.
One standout feature that has significantly impacted is MESH Audits—a tool that enables real-time supplier assessments, compliance tracking, and risk mitigation.
“By leveraging MESH in the supplier identification processes, TriVista ensures the best possible results for its clients. MESH complements TriVista’s methodical approach to sourcing, further enhancing client satisfaction. The supplier database has many commonly sourced categories (machined, die-cast, stamped, sheet metal, etc.). Also, it contains other helpful information, such as MESH audit results, that provide useful insights beyond what can be found on a supplier website.”
– Zach Diable, Supply Chain Manager at TriVista
