The Vendors module is your directory of every external company you work with — parts suppliers, service contractors, and manufacturers. Each vendor record centralizes contact details and contracts, and can be linked to the assets they service and the inventory items they supply.

What a vendor record contains

  • Name and vendor code
  • Contact info — contact person, email, and phone
  • Address and website
  • Contracts — tracked with end dates and expiring-contract alerts

Linking vendors to assets and parts

Linking makes vendor information available exactly where your team needs it:
  • Assets — link the service vendor or manufacturer to an asset so technicians can find who to call from the asset detail page. See Assets.
  • Inventory items — link suppliers to parts so reorder suggestions in Stock Levels & Alerts show who to order from.

Contract alerts

Vendor contracts are tracked with their end dates, and expiring contracts surface as alerts on the dashboard so renewals never sneak up on you. See Managing Vendors for setup.
