FAQ'S
take the worries out of running a profitable design or retail business.

vianza tracks + manages all the moving parts for you — so you can focus on your craft.

it's like having your own private, business concierge.

here's how it works.

designers, retailers, and small-batch producers can:

find each other (and get found).
  • find the right designer,product, or small-batch producer
    • - use detailed product, sustainability or company attribute search.
    • - source high-quality products and materials at the right price points, directly from the source.
  • create your own business profile and online catalog
    • - so you can be discovered by business buyers. Integrate your profile with Facebook & Twitter.
    • - search engine optimization features built right into your business profile and catalog.
  • control who sees what in your online catalog.
    • - create private showrooms or sell openly in the marketplace
  • create and sell collections - not just products.
    • - showcase new concepts, point of view or inspiration
    • - let potential buyers browse your collections to understand your style
work together.
  • automate repetitive administrative tasks so you can focus on what you do best. this is how big companies stay profitable. now you can do it, too.
  • collaborate and co-create with ease. no more phone tag, no more miscommunications.
    • - request a quote from seller or negotiate in real time. each conversation is tracked.
    • - track documents, comments, detailed design, quality, and packaging guidelines
    • - order and receive samples without picking up the phone
    • -form teams using multi-user, role-based access to your company account.
    • - share your look-books and buying lists. get feedback before making purchase decisions.
  • track shipments. you don't need to be an international trade expert to sell and source globally.
    • - the platform tracks buyer’s business license, resale certificates, orders and generates documentation for both domestic & international shipments
    • - buyers get complete visibility into the order and shipment cycle. no more emails or phone calls.
  • run your business on autopilot (well, almost). do it all, all in one place.
    • - automate quotes, track and fill sales orders. invoice and collect payments.
    • - track your purchases and production orders.
    • - create multiple price lists. set price globally, by country, specific to a customer or upon request. plan promotions ahead of time.
    • - let your online catalog do your selling at tradeshows while you build relationships with customers.
  • get paid while you sleep. vianza manages the risk for both buyer and seller by:
    • - ensuring payment is collected prior to sending shipment
    • - allowing buyers to dispute shipments
    • - facilitating dispute resolution
    • - keeping every transaction between buyers and sellers private
profit together.
  • indie retailers, differentiate by offering exclusive, high-quality products customized to their local market needs. no more competing on price.
  • designers, small batch producers and artisans, profit by selling 500 products to 1 company, not 1 product to 1 consumer.
