Doing Business with UTRS
To maintain a competitive advantage, UTRS teams with best-in-class large and small businesses that demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and can help us deliver products and services to our customers more efficiently and with the highest quality available.
How to Become a UTRS Vendor
As a vendor to UTRS, the first step is to become familiar with us and our Code of Ethics & Business Conduct. The next step is to register online in our Vendor Management System (VMS) which is accessible via the web on any Internet connection. Key features of this system include the following:
- Documents are routed electronically, enabling faster review and approval time by UTRS. Electronic routing of documents also allows faster authorization time for our vendors/subcontractors to work and begin invoicing.
- The system allows both parties to view the workflow of each document, noting where it is in the approval cycle at any given time.
- Once the document is approved, it is immediately available for viewing and downloading.
- The fully executed document is stored in PDF format, a legally recognizable format that neither party is able to alter, thereby providing document integrity.
Docusign
UTRS utilizes DocuSign Global Network to provide a fast, easy, secure way to send, sign, track, and store documents in the cloud. DocuSign decreases contract cycle times, reduces paper-based business processes, improves visibility and control and, best of all, enhances customer satisfaction. All UTRS purchase orders and change orders are sent via the DocuSign system. With this in mind, as a vendor of UTRS, please ensure that you have access to the DocuSign website (www.docusign.com) and that emails with a DocuSign Support heading are not going to your spam/junk email.
