Covento is dedicated to parts for the renewable energy sector, being a B2B marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of parts and services across varied renewable energy technologies.

Per the press release, the extended partnership builds on the companies’ collaboration beginning in 2021 and is set to have Mangopay manage all payment flows simplifying the procurement process for renewable products and providing a payment experience similar to that of B2C ecommerce sites.

Launched in an initial stage in France, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, Covento activates within this industry, providing an extensive range of 40,000 renewable spare parts.

The company aims to change the fragmented renewable aftermarket into and simplified and connected digital journey by offering an end-to-end solution for supplier consolidation and to help simplify the procurement process that is traditionally burdensome and costly.
