Vizibl Names Gartner Cool Vendor 2020

We are excited, honoured and thrilled that Vizibl has been named a 2020 Gartner Cool Vendor in Sourcing Technology. We pride ourselves on delivering technology that drives collaboration and innovation across the business and their supplier ecosystem.

Gartner’s Cool Vendor research highlights interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services. The report homes in on why Vizibl is cool, stating: “Vizibl takes supplier collaboration to the next level. It enables companies to efficiently manage complex relationships with strategic suppliers and develop these to their full potential. Its distinctive approach provides its users with a complete view of each strategic supplier relationship, providing the ability to define and track progress towards strategic objectives. It also enables an effective governance structure that streamlines communication between multiple internal stakeholders and their supplier counterparts.”

So, besides the “cool” distinction, what does it mean to be a Gartner Cool Vendor?

Being named a Cool Vendor is a huge vote of confidence for Vizibl — in terms of our product offering and our success trajectory as a company.

Box, Cloudera, Dropbox, Snowflake, and Nest — five totally different companies — all have one thing in common: Besides being leaders in their respective disruptive spaces they all are past Gartner Cool Vendors.

“If you look at Cool Vendors today, you’ll see your future, you just have to pay attention.” Daryl Plummer — VP, Distinguished Analyst, chief of Research & chief Gartner Fellow

It’s our aim to carry on pioneering the “Supplier Collaboration & Innovation” category over the next decade. Helping our customers to out-compete their peers by collaborating with their supplier & startup ecosystems to help deliver on their ambitious growth, productivity & sustainability targets.

What’s really cool about all of this? We built our company to empower business, supply chain & procurement teams to make an indelible impact on the enterprise. Being named a Cool Vendor proves that we’re accomplishing what we set out to do — and that the sourcing and procurement as a whole are ready to step up and embrace its potential.

Finally huge thanks to the Vizibl team, our amazing customer and super supportive investors 🙏🏼👏🏼.
