Why businesses are choosing AuraVMS
“We were comparing supplier quotes on a shared Excel sheet that three people edited simultaneously — it was chaos. AuraVMS put every quote in the same format, side by side, and the arguing stopped. We close RFQs in two days now instead of two weeks.”
Gunnar Sjoberg
Procurement Manager · Metal fabrication · Ohio
“I run a 40-person manufacturing unit. Coupa quoted us $70,000 a year — that's more than my procurement headcount costs. AuraVMS does 90% of what I need for $15 a month. The ROI isn't even a question.”
Devansh Kothari
Operations Director · Electronics manufacturer · Texas
“The anonymous bidding feature is the real differentiator. Before, suppliers knew they were the only one quoting and priced accordingly. Now they see a competitive process and we've seen prices drop 8–12% on average across our top 20 SKUs.”
Shubhangi Deshpande
Head of Procurement · Pharmaceutical company · Mumbai
“My suppliers don't need to sign up for anything. They get a link, they fill in their price, done. That was the dealbreaker with every other tool we tried — suppliers just refused to create accounts on yet another portal.”
Tomas Hrbek
Purchasing Manager · Construction supplies · Florida
“We manage three construction projects simultaneously, each with different material requirements. Before AuraVMS, I had a separate spreadsheet per project and spent Fridays consolidating. Now each project lead creates their own RFQs and I see everything in one dashboard.”
Bridget O'Sullivan
Project Director · General contractor · Colorado
“The WhatsApp integration is huge for us. Half my suppliers in Latin America don't check email regularly but they're on WhatsApp all day. Quotes come back in hours instead of days.”
Sebastian Uribe
Supply Chain Manager · Trading & distribution · Mexico

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AuraVMS offer all the features of ProcurePort?
AuraVMS focuses on the core procurement functionality that most businesses actually use daily.

Is AuraVMS suitable for enterprise businesses?
While AuraVMS is designed with simplicity in mind, our Enterprise plan offers customizations and integrations that can serve larger organizations. Many enterprises choose AuraVMS for specific departments or divisions that need a quick, user-friendly solution without the overhead of more complex systems.
How does supplier onboarding compare?
AuraVMS makes supplier onboarding effortless. Suppliers don't need to create accounts or learn complex interfaces - they simply click a unique link sent via email and submit their quote. ProcurePort requires suppliers to register accounts and learn their portal, which can slow down adoption and response rates.
