Vinimaya Announces New Release of SmartSearch Catalog(TM)
5.0 Version Features a New User Interface, Enhanced Price Management Functionality and UNSPSC Support
SHELTON, Conn., Sept. 29 / / - Vinimaya, the leading provider of next generation E-Procurement Catalog and B2B Shopping Solutions, today announced the release of version 5.0 of its innovative SmartSearch Catalog solution. SmartSearch Catalog is already the choice of leading global companies like Sunoco, 3M, Alcoa, Corning, UPMC and Agilent Technologies for driving e-procurement benefits with simplified supplier enablement and increased user adoption.
New features and functionality of the SmartSearch Catalog version 5.0 release include:
- Improved User Interface
Vinimaya pioneered the application of consumer-like usability in e-Procurement catalogs in previous versions of the SmartSearch Catalog solution, and version 5.0's user interface takes this concept to the next level, providing end users with a Web 2.0 look-and-feel and the ability to customize the user interface to serve their specific needs. Features like auto-complete, header-based sorting, one-click ordering, cart sharing, and "drag and drop" objects simplify and improve upon what was already to be considered the best user experience in the market.
- Enhanced Price Management and Auditing
SmartSearch Catalog is the only solution on the market that gives buyers the ability to manage and audit pricing of web-based and punchout catalogs. With version 5.0, Vinimaya has made this capability more robust and user friendly. With just a few clicks of a mouse, automatic price audits can be set up for each supplier punchout site, validating that the supplier's pricing is compliant with the buyer's contracted pricing, and sending an alert to the buyer if it is not.
- Enhanced Taxonomy Support
SmartSearch Catalog's built-in UNSPSC mapping tool now has cross- reference functionality that allows buyers to convert supplier-provided UNSPSC codes for a given category to the buyer's defined UNSPSC code in real-time as needed, or to a buyer proprietary code.
- Enhanced Shopping Cart Functionality
SmartSearch Catalog users can now share their shopping carts with other users; they can compare items in the shopping cart, including configurable items.
"These enhancements are a direct result of buyer and supplier feedback," said Gary Hare, Vinimaya president and CEO. "Making enablement easy for suppliers, attracting users with a simple but highly functional user interface, and providing the compliance tools that can both restrict, or open up the ordering process, depending on the business situation, is what our clients and prospects are asking for."
SmartSearch Catalog is based on Vinimaya's patent-pending SmartSearch Agent(TM) technology platform, and allows users to search and shop directly from suppliers' web sites, industry marketplaces, catalog aggregators and supplier networks; as well as their internal catalog database, all from a single user interface, without ever leaving their e-procurement system. SmartSearch Catalog is compatible with all leading e-procurement systems such as Ariba Buyer, Oracle iProcurement, PeopleSoft Enterprise eProcurement and SAP SRM/EBP among others.
