Vinimaya Offers “One Stop” Supplier Enablement Solutions for E-Procurement
Adds Internet-based EDI, Supply-Side and OnDemand Offerings to its Solution Portfolio!
SHELTON, CT
(June 27th, 2005)
Vinimaya, Inc. officially announced the expansion of its offerings and now provides complete, "one stop" supplier enablement solutions for e-procurement for both buyers and suppliers. Vinimaya is expanding its Buyer Solutions™ portfolio, adding Vinimaya EasyOrder™, an Internet-based XML/EDI service. Vinimaya is also introducing Vinimaya Supplier Solutions™ to help suppliers provide "punchout" catalogs to multiple buyers and receive electronic purchase orders quickly and inexpensively.
All Vinimaya solutions are based on the company's patent-pending Intelligent Agent Server (IAS)™ platform and are 100% compatible with e-procurement systems such as Ariba Buyer, Oracle I-Procure, Peoplesoft E-Procure and SAP EBP among others.
Buyer Solutions
Buyer Solutions, featuring the ViniSyndicate Catalog Integration System™ (CIS) and Vinimaya EasyOrder, is aimed at large buying organizations using e-procurement systems and are experiencing difficulty meeting supplier enablement, user adoption, spend coverage and cost objectives using expensive and troublesome "punchout", "roundtrip", catalog management tools, conventional EDI or supplier networks.
ViniSyndicate CIS is best known for its unique ability to link suppliers' web sites to buyers' e-procurement systems in "real-time" without the need for "punchout" catalogs. Users can have new catalogs available in days instead of months because they don't have to wait for suppliers to build "punchout" capability into their sites! Also, ViniSyndicate CIS allows users to search not only supplier web sites, but also supplier networks and locally stored catalogs concurrently from a single, aggregated user interface while having functionality such as purchasing lists, saved carts and item compare right at their fingertips, all things "punchout" cannot do.
3M, Sunoco and Sylvan Learning are among the world-class companies currently using ViniSyndicate CIS.
Using the Vinimaya EasyOrder Internet-based XML/EDI service, buyers can execute electronic transactions with their suppliers for a low, fixed monthly fee with NO transaction fees. EasyOrder offers support for 20 EDI standard documents, including Purchase Order, Purchase Order Change, RFQ, RFQ Response, ASN and Invoice.
Supplier Solutions
Supplier Solutions, featuring the ViniSyndicate Supplier Integration System™ (SIS) and EasyOrder Supplier™, targets suppliers having difficulty providing XML "punchout" catalogs to customers not using Buyer Solutions. Supplier Solutions is also 100% compatible with the leading e-procurement systems and based on the same proven, patent-pending technology as Buyer Solutions. Companies using Supplier Solutions can provide a "punchout" catalog to their customers quickly and inexpensively, WITHOUT actually having to build "punchout" functionality into their website catalog. Suppliers without a website catalog can still use Supplier Solutions, which provides online tools for uploading, maintaining and hosting catalogs. EasyOrder Supplier helps suppliers manage and respond to electronic purchase orders and send invoices and other documents electronically.
"Today's supplier enablement solutions, including supplier networks and punchout, don't address the two major barriers to success; complex, costly supplier requirements and user adoption issues caused by content, search and user interface problems," said Gary Hare, CEO of Vinimaya, and also co-founder of TPN Register, the world's first E-Procurement Supplier Network. "With the unique capabilities of our IAS platform, ViniSyndicate solutions essentially provides an 'instant punchout,' by removing the supplier's requirements and giving users a single, aggregated, Google-like user interface from which they can access all catalogs - online, hosted or locally stored."
Buyer Solutions and Supplier Solutions can either be licensed as software or accessed as an OnDemand Service for a low, fixed annual fee.
