    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

    Frequently asked questions

    If your company has not yet registered with Vale, access pre-registration, and after completing the pre-registration with Vale, if your company is selected, you will receive an e-mail from the sender no-reply@midassolutions.com.br to complete Vale's registration process on the Global Supplier Registration Portal (GSRP), and will also receive an invitation to register on the Nimbi Platform. 

    If your company is already registered with Vale and on the Nimbi Platform, to check its status, access the platform with your registered email address and password, and click the “My Clients” tab, located on the menu on the left of the screen. Finally, select “Vale S.A.” and check the status displayed in the top-left corner of the screen.  

    Your company’s status must be “Connected” for it to be able to transact with Vale via the Nimbi Platform. If your company’s status is not “Connected,” click the “Edit Registration” button at the top of the screen. Then click the “Sections” tab and fill out all the mandatory fields, highlighted with an asterisk on all the side tabs. You will also need to accept the “Emarketplace Membership Agreement” on the “Terms” tab. Then click “Send for Evaluation.” Please note that only administrator users have access to the “Edit Registration” option. If this option is not enabled in your profile, please contact your account administrator to advise you on how to regularize your registration on the Nimbi Platform. 

    Click “My Pending Items” on the left-hand side menu if your bid has not been accepted, or on “My History” if it has already been accepted. In the search box, enter the bid’s ERP code, which starts with “5000.” Click the desired bid request and, after reading all the information in the process, scroll to the bottom of the page to “Accept” or “Decline” your participation. 

    Please note: If you decline to take part in a tender, you will not be able to participate again. Once you have accepted the RFQ, you must fill out the required fields to send your response to Vale, including the specific information about the items. To do this, click the description of each item. If necessary, you can save your proposal using the “Save” option, but remember that when you have finished filling out the fields, you must click “Send” to submit your proposal to Vale. Pay attention to the submission deadline set by the requester, specified in the “Timetable.” 

    On the menu on the left side of the screen, click “My Pending Items.” Then click the “Orders” card. Click the desired purchase order and, after reading all the information in the document, scroll to the bottom of the page to Accept or Return the purchase order. Please note that orders may only be accepted or returned in their entirety.

    The supplier must issue the invoice filled out with information according to the purchase order and send the XML file of the invoice validated by the Finance Secretariat (Sefaz) to nfe@vale.com. After it has been sent, it will go through the validation process at Vale and its status will be shown on the Nimbi Platform. You can track the validation of your invoice on the portal via the “My History” menu, on the “Invoices” tab.
