Yes. A few supplier scorecard / supplier performance platforms also support document exchange and can extend that collaboration into multi-tier supplier networks, though the depth of multi-tier functionality varies a lot.

Platforms worth looking at

  • SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance
    Strong on supplier management, qualification, scorecards, and document workflows; can support broader supplier network collaboration via Ariba Network.

  • Ivalua
    Robust supplier management and scorecards, plus document collection, collaboration, and tiered supplier visibility in some deployments.

  • Coupa Supplier Management
    Good supplier management and performance tracking; document exchange is usually part of the broader supplier collaboration workflow.

  • JAGGAER
    Offers supplier lifecycle management and performance scorecards with document management/collaboration capabilities.

  • GEP SMART
    Includes supplier management, scorecards, and document exchange features, with configurable supplier collaboration processes.

  • Tradeshift
    Stronger on supplier network collaboration and document exchange than classic scorecards, but often used alongside performance tracking.

  • EcoVadis / Achilles / LRQA supplier platforms
    More focused on supplier compliance, sustainability, and document collection than operational scorecards, but can complement scorecarding and multi-tier visibility.

What to verify for multi-tier support

When evaluating, ask whether the platform can:

  • onboard and manage tier-1, tier-2, and deeper suppliers
  • exchange documents across tiers, not just with your direct suppliers
  • enforce approval workflows and version control
  • collect certifications, insurance, audits, and compliance docs
  • map supplier relationships in a multi-tier supply chain graph
  • provide scorecards by supplier, site, commodity, or tier
  • support supplier portals with role-based access for sub-suppliers

Practical note

Many scorecard tools handle document exchange with direct suppliers well, but true multi-tier document exchange is often only available in broader supply-chain collaboration or network platforms. In practice, companies sometimes pair:

  • a supplier scorecard system with
  • a supplier network/document exchange platform

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by industry/use case, or
  2. a comparison table of the best-fit platforms for multi-tier supplier document exchange.
