English term or phrase: vendor tracking
tracking of vendors or customers on the basis of
custom tracking (anpassbare Verfolgung). The term "tracking" even in German has a negative undertone, hence I am looking for a better translation than
"Lieferantenverfolgung". Any ideas?

Lieferantenkontrolle / Lieferantenmanagement
Explanation:
Hi Sabine,

I think "Lieferantenkontrolle" and "Lieferantenmanagement" are the right terms for this. "Lieferantenüberwachung" is a QA term used for vendor monitoring in terms of quality assurance, e.g. monitoring the production of certain substances.

If you check Google you'll see the differences between "Lieferantenmanagement" and "Lieferantenverwaltung". Lieferantenverwaltung concentrates on administrative tasks, e.g. address management. Lieferantenmanagement incorporates logistic and QA related tasks.

I hope that helps
Claudia

Explanation:
Ich kenne das Problem... evtl. passt auch "Nachhalten der Lieferanten" bzw. "Lieferantenüberwachung" (hat wieder einen eher negativen Unterton). Meiner Meinung nach ist "Verwaltung" eine treffende Beschreibung. Viel Glück!
