eProcurement Solutions that Work
Founded in 2000, Vinimaya Inc. offers innovative solutions designed to address the shortcomings of first-generation eProcurement catalogs. Our solutions deliver value to both buyers and suppliers. Buyers leverage the power and reach of Internet-based content and suppliers capitalize on their existing investment in web-based catalogs - all through our robust B2B search engine.
Why first-generation eProcurement hasn’t delivered
One word - complexity!
For B2B catalogs to work, you need your suppliers, especially your highest volume suppliers, fully onboard. The two most common methods used today for B2B catalogs, aggregation and XML punchout, are quite complicated, resource intensive, and costly to support. As a result, B2B catalogs fail to deliver the spend capture levels needed to drive benefits.
The Internet is “the Network”
Vinimaya’s founders are keenly aware of the complexity issue, having built and operated the world’s first eProcurement supplier network, the TPN Marketplace. They realize a completely new technical approach is required. An approach that:
- incorporates open technologies optimized for the Internet, like meta-search and intelligent agents
- makes it easy and non-invasive for suppliers to support
- presents an elegant end user experience
- provides the control needed to properly manage spend
The result is the SmartSearch Catalog™!
Global industry leaders rely on Vinimaya
Leading global enterprises like Siemens, Celanese, Visa, Sunoco, 3M, Alcoa, EDS, Cooper Industries, UPMC, Agilent and Corning rely on Vinimaya to achieve the benefits of next-generation eProcurement. For any organization that has invested time and money in eProcurement, only to be disappointed by low adoption rates and negligible cost savings, Vinimaya has the solution you’ve been looking for.
“Innovative software-based approaches that apply consumer market Internet technologies to B2B collaboration should be considered as valid alternatives to leveraging supplier portals and business process hubs.”
