"VendorNet received the 2005 Supplier of the Year, Service Category Award because of its excellent service, and the commitment the company made to help our Inventory Planning staff train over 750 vendors within an 8-month timeframe."

Services Overview

VendorNet offers implementation services for both retailers and suppliers. The VendorNet implementation and project management staff work directly with retailers and suppliers on an individual basis to define the optimal VendorNet configuration to match capabilities with preferred business processes and technological sophistication.

No VendorNet-specific software or hardware is required at a supplier's location. The only requirement is that a supplier has a PC, printer, and Internet access.

For small suppliers, VendorNet’s browser-based interface can be implemented in a matter of days. For mid to large suppliers that have host order management or distribution systems, and where order volumes warrant direct system-to-system integration, VendorNet provides a mapping utility and file exchange capabilities that electronically transmits data files in a supplier’s required file format. This speeds up the implementation process and eliminates any programming requirements to a supplier’s existing systems. VendorNet's implementation team also assumes responsibility for testing with suppliers to ensure that the automated link between the retailer and supplier systems is operating smoothly and accurately.

VendorNet’s flexible rules-based business logic links all levels and types of suppliers with a retailer quickly and easily to ensure 100 percent supplier compliance.


Our own customers are our endorsement

"What is really impressive about the VendorNet organization is that its support is equal to its technical abilities. In my experience with information technology, I've found that the human side is rarely equal to the technology side. In this case it clearly is."

Hank Rosen, Chief Operating Officer
The Wine Enthusiast Company

 

"If you talk to other retailers in the industry, VendorNet has a great reputation, not only from a product standpoint, but also from a service standpoint, and I have to say it is well deserved."
