Vendor relationship management (VRM) focuses on building and maintaining productive, collaborative long-term relationships with key suppliers rather than just transactional oversight. It involves regular communication, performance reviews, and joint problem-solving, and is used by procurement and supply chain teams to reduce risk and drive mutual value from strategic vendor partnerships.
