Vendormint Named One Of CIO Review’s Most Innovative Companies

Even As U.S. Tariffs Squeeze Corporate Margins, Vendormint’s Vision Stands Out

New York City, NY, USA – WEBWIRE – Tuesday, October 28, 2025

Vendormint, a leading vendor intelligence platform, has been honored by CIOReview as one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2025 for its pioneering use of data, AI, and transparency to enable revenue recovery, retail compliance, and supply chain optimization for retail suppliers.

This recognition arrives at a moment of sharpened economic pressure: rising U.S. tariffs are in many cases creating headwinds for corporate leaders across industries, forcing many C-Suite executives to re-examine strategies for preserving profitability.

“Vendormint was founded to bring clarity, trust, and analytical rigor to how companies manage relationships with their major retail partners in the modern age,” stated Max Borin, CEO & Founder of Vendormint.

“To be named among CIOReview’s most innovative companies is a powerful validation. Especially today, when leaders are grappling with escalating input costs and unpredictable trade policy, our mission is more essential than ever.”

Recent data underscores how tariffs are eroding corporate margins - In a recent survey of 300 executives by KPMG, 32% reported their gross margins have declined 1–5%, 22% saw a decline of 6–10%, and 3% reported drops of more than 10%, attributing much of the pressure to tariff-driven input costs. The macro and industry-specific pressures alike feed into the daily balancing act at the executive level: protecting profitability while maintaining competitiveness, innovation, and investment discipline.
