Vinius for Distributors & Importers
Your customers choose how they order. Be where they do: every Vinius order in one inbox, answered line by line, from a catalogue your own systems keep current.
You can run the best B2B webshop in the trade, and your customers will still order the way that suits them. A restaurant that buys from a dozen suppliers will not keep a dozen logins, order forms and sets of delivery rules in its head. It wants one place to order from all of them, and it picks that place itself.
Vinius is built to be that place. Venues run their cellar, their prices, their wine lists and their reorders on it, with ordering to every supplier built in. The supplier portal is your side of that, and it gives you two things a webshop cannot: venues that do not know you yet, and less work on every order.
Reach venues that don't know you yet
Your reps cover the venues they can visit. Every other restaurant, bar and hotel never opens your price list.
On Vinius, your catalogue makes the first visit. Every venue on Vinius will be able to browse the wines you offer, with list price and availability, including venues that have never bought from you. Adding you as a supplier takes them one click, and their first order lands in your inbox like an order from any existing customer. Your book reaches regions and segments your reps have never covered.
You still decide. Every order is yours to confirm line by line, so a new customer never commits you to something you cannot deliver.
Spend less time on every order
Venue orders arrive by email, phone, messaging apps and the rep's notebook, and someone on your side retypes each one. A sold-out wine, a new vintage or a different price gets settled in a reply thread that the venue's records never see.
On Vinius, the order itself carries all of that:
- One orders inbox. Every order a venue sends you through Vinius, newest first, filtered by state or customer.
- Answers per line. Confirm a line, change the quantity, propose a price or a substitute, then mark the order ready and shipped. The venue sees the order as it now stands, so the delivery matches what it expects.
- A conversation on the order. Questions about an order stay on that order, readable by both sides, instead of in someone's personal inbox.
- Your terms, applied before the order reaches you. Set minimum order, free delivery from, delivery fee, payment terms, lead time and case size once, per country, and per customer or delivery site where you agreed otherwise. A venue cannot send an order below your minimum, and your delivery fee shows on its order screen. More in your ordering terms and your customers.
Your catalogue, kept current by your own systems
The price list you sent in January is what venues order from in June. On Vinius, your catalogue comes straight from the systems you already run. Connect your Odoo product feed, upload Excel in the Vinius format, send it through the Vinius API or add wines one by one.
An integrity check runs before anything goes live. Scheduled syncs keep prices and availability current, and venues that buy from you see your wines, list price and availability while they build an order.
Bring your customers along
Customers lists the venues that order from you through Vinius, with their orders and the sites that ordered. Invite your existing trade customers to order this way, from the same page.
Wherever venues see your name, a verified check mark says you run your own profile on Vinius. It is not a rating.
No login required
Some suppliers will never open the portal, and that works. Every order still arrives by email, with a link to answer it line by line and to write to the venue. The portal is there for when you want all of it in one place.
Already receiving orders through Vinius? The link in that order email is also where you ask for your supplier login.
Where Vinius stands
Venues choose their suppliers, on Vinius as anywhere else.
- Your orders only. You see the orders sent to you, never the venue's stock, its other suppliers or what they charge.
- No exclusivity. Vinius takes no exclusivity, revenue share or equity from any distributor.
- Zero commission. Vinius charges nothing on the orders venues send to their suppliers.
- Free at launch. The supplier portal costs suppliers nothing at launch.
