In this blog, I want to share with you my journey at Covento, highlighting the unique people and culture that drive our mission of revolutionizing the procurement process for renewable energy spare parts.

In the fast-paced world of the wind industry, suppliers face numerous challenges that can be overwhelming. Covento is here to provide the ultimate solution to these buyer headaches.  
Let's explore the common symptoms that plague suppliers and the impact they have on your business. 

As the Head of Payments at Covento, I have seen firsthand the benefits of a managed payments approach for both our buyers and suppliers. By streamlining the payment process, we have been able to provide a seamless and secure experience for all parties involved. 

Sourcing organizations in the wind industry face the critical task of ensuring supply reliability while minimizing costs. Balancing the two goals of securing supply and lowering costs is a challenge for category managers, but solutions like supplier consolidation and marketplace platforms can help. 

Wouldn’t it be great if you could know when the parts that you ordered two days ago will arrive at your warehouse? Why is it so easy to know when the New Balance running shoes you just ordered in Amazon will arrive at your home on time for your weekend run, but at the same time, it is so difficult to know if the hydraulic pump your technician urgently needs to fix a turbine next week will make it on time?

Hello, my name is Salsa and I'm excited to be part of a new revolution in the renewable energy industry. As a business development manager at Covento, I'm working towards a future where businesses can source their minor components with just a click. I believe that clean energy is more important now than ever before, and we need to make it accessible to everyone. 

I call our customers “the humans behind the green electrons.” I use this term because I think the general public often forget (or at least does not consciously think about) the people that dedicate their lives to ensuring homes stay heated, hospitals stay powered, and food stays cold. And these people do their work through holidays, extreme weather, global pandemics, and even war.

For our customers what this means is that you can purchase the parts you need to service your turbines instantly while still being secure in the knowledge that all your counterparts on the Covento marketplace are vetted players from the wind industry.
