I started VendorPanel to make it fairer and easier to do business. Today our technology simplifies how organisations work, reduces risk, saves money and helps them to leverage procurement spend, where appropriate, for positive economic and social outcomes. Procurement is changing, and we want to be at the front of this journey.

Thank you for your interest in VendorPanel!

Whether you're a future customer, employee or investor, we're excited to share our story so far.

VendorPanel originally came to prominence for our innovative approach to addressing governance, probity and value for money in decentralised, below-tender procurement spend.

Today, we do that and more: we help over 1,200 corporate and government clients unlock the value of their spend by transforming procurement from a back office administrative function to being a centre of excellence and a recognised business enabler.

More recently, VendorPanel has itself been recognised for innovation in helping clients use procurement to drive positive social impact and local economic development, through our ProcureForGood and BuyRegional initiatives in which we partner with leading industry bodies.

In 2018 the company was named one of the Top 20 Westpac Businesses of Tomorrow, and received an award for Most Innovative Use of Technology from the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply.

VendorPanel is a growing business led by an experienced and committed team. You can meet our leadership group below.
