For port-local suppliers
NERMO sends you structured requests from vessel operators planning a call at your port. You quote your real price; the client sees it exactly as you submitted it — and pays you directly.
Why vendors join
When a NERMO fleet plans a call at your port, matching requests are routed to you automatically. No cold-calling agents, no chasing chandling desks.
Items, quantities, units, delivery window, vessel and berth — in one structured PO. Not a fax, not a forwarded email chain, nothing retyped.
NERMO adds no markup on your goods. The operator compares your quote against others at your port — on the numbers you actually submitted.
The goods relationship is yours: the client pays you at your quoted price, with no intermediary sitting on the money. Direct payment is part of NERMO's contract terms.
NERMO earns a rebate from you on completed orders — and nothing otherwise. If an order doesn't fulfil, you owe nothing. The model only works when you get business.
Quote incoming RFQs, accept purchase orders, update delivery status, keep your catalog current — one place, built for a chandler's working day.
Less admin, more supply
The portal is built around the paperwork a chandler actually has — price lists, stock, certificates, receivables — so quoting a vessel takes minutes, not an evening.
Upload a CSV — or the price list you already have as a PDF or spreadsheet, and NERMO extracts it into structured items for your review. Photos and stock counts optional.
Matching RFQ lines arrive pre-priced from your catalog: review, adjust, send. If you opt in, routine RFQs you fully cover can even quote themselves.
Receivables aging, the rebate you've accrued, your current rate — visible in the portal at any time.
Prefer to work it from an AI? NERMO's hosted MCP server covers the supply side too: connect an assistant — or a headless agent beside your ERP — to your vendor account and triage RFQs, submit quotes, and keep your catalog current in plain language. See NERMO over MCP.
Vetting
Operators route through NERMO because every vendor on the network has been screened.
Company details, the ports and regions you serve, product categories, and your delivery capabilities.
Identity verification and sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UK) — the same checks every vendor on the network has passed.
Certifications and documentation for your categories — provisions vendors meet MLC 2006 standards, for example. Uploaded in the portal, tracked to expiry.
Your catalog is on the network. RFQs from vessels calling your port start arriving in your portal.
Why vetting matters. NERMO carries the compliance burden so operators can order from you without running their own checks — your approval is what turns a quote into routed business.
