Templates You Can’t Live Without?

Do you have a go-to purchase order form, supplier checklist, or sourcing matrix? Share your helpful resources.

Supplier onboarding checklist in Google Sheets is my daily driver: tax ID, COI, bank validation, SLA, and a ‘three-way match or no-go’ pre-flight before the first PO. I pair it with a 100-point weighted scorecard so category leads can tweak criteria; Excel works, but Airtable makes the dashboard painless. Want the column headers?
