I was working in QuickBooks today. QuickBooks, for those that don\u2019t know, is the leading accounting package for small and mid-size enterprises.<\/p>\n

While working, I noticed in the \u201cVendor Center\u201d a link that said \u201cRate This Vendor Online.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what did I do?<\/p>\n

Of course, I clicked it!<\/p>\n

And it allowed me to rate one of Next Level Purchasing\u2019s vendors, including comments and a 1-5 star rating. This feature was integrated into QuickBooks, but managed through zipingo.com.<\/p>\n

After rating my vendor, I went to zipingo.com and found a pretty interesting site where local suppliers are categorized and rated somewhat eBay style.<\/p>\n

I believe that this type of business model has a lot of promise for not only small and mid-size businesses but large businesses as well. Though, as it is today, zipingo.com is very local- and somewhat B2C-oriented, the fact that they are aiming for the B2B market is exciting.<\/p>\n

I think that I\u2019m going to have the Next Level Purchasing team use zipingo.com on a testing basis for our revised supplier performance evaluation program. We can drill in to see our reviews only, which makes a nice way of seeing which of our suppliers are standing out either for being good performers or poor ones!<\/p>\n

This could be the start of the type of supplier rating community that Supply Excellence\u2019s Tim Minahan and I discussed in the article \u201cSupply Chain Technology: What\u2019s Next?\u201d and the accompanying podcast.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
