The Portal Nimbi is a virtual space for the commercialization of products and services that form the interface between Vale and its suppliers, increasing the integration of purchasing processes, from quotation to payment. 

With Portal Nimbi, we seek to be an even faster and more efficient company and we hope to bring more visibility at all stages of the supply processes for our suppliers. This tool was developed with transparency and user-friendliness in mind.

The Portal brings a number of benefits:

Single, integrated platform
Centralization of different processes of the purchase flow in the same environment

Reduction of tax discrepancies
Integration with the tax optimization tool

Multi-device
Possibility of being accessed from mobile technologies such as tablets and smartphones

Simpler and more user-friendly navigation 
Follows the concept used in social networks 

Support service 
Support service in the use of the platform for internal users and exclusive service channels for suppliers 

Risk reduction 
Risk reduction of late payment, due to the electronic invoice validation process being carried out prior to the creation of the collection
