A Note from VendOp Co-Founder and CEO Andy Kohm

Welcome to the new VendOp blog!

Since launching VendOp in 2013, we’ve received a great amount of positive feedback about our services from our users. Vendors and customers have come together thanking us for simplifying their lives by streamlining the vendor sourcing process for businesses with comprehensive ratings and reviews of vendors and suppliers.

You may be asking yourself, what is VendOp? We built VendOp for a good reason – because we believe that customer-vendor relationships are important. Every business professional deserves the opportunity to find the perfect match to meet their needs.

When it comes to finding the right fit – the process has been outdated and word of mouth recommendations should not have to be anyone’s sole resource.

So why had it taken so long to find a method dedicated to vendors and customers? Consumers have Angie’s List and Yelp but neither one of them has focus solely on business and industrial vendors.  VendOp solves the challenges involved in finding, vetting vendors and suppliers in highly specialized areas. VendOp supports 26 core vendor categories, which includes consulting services, manufacturing, component supply, financial services, and sterilization, among others. With over 30,000 reviews and ratings for nearly 4,000 companies, and 5 million vendors already pre-loaded into the system, VendOp hopes to revolutionize the vendor discovery and procurement.

And, if you’re a vendor, we hope you’ll participate because VendOp can be a helpful resource to you, and we want your company to have a seat at the table in our community. We invite you to find your VendOp company listing  and manage you profile to see what your customer’s are saying about you.

You can look to the VendOp blog to provide practical information and best practices for choosing a vendor or supplier that will best suit your needs.  We believe you can accomplish your business goals with confidence, so we’ll bring you information on topics that will help you make the best decision possible before making significant budget spends, as well as how to streamline and simplify, your vendor discovery and selection process. From time to time, we’ll also bring you interviews with members of the VendOp community, and I’ll drop by with VendOp updates.

We value your feedback, so feel free to leave your thoughts, questions, and suggestions in the comments. We read each one. And check out our new look at VendOp—much of your feedback has been incorporated.
