Vendor management

Organize vendor contacts without a CRM

Call, text, email, and website — structured for referral lists.

Store every vendor with the contact methods people actually use. No bloated CRM fields — just names, categories, service areas, and tap-to-contact buttons on your public page.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Contact cards buried in camera roll screenshots
  • Clients can't tap to call from a PDF vendor list
  • Missing text vs office phone distinction
  • No service area field for local recommendations

What you get

Multi-channel contacts

Phone, text line, email, and website per vendor — all tappable on mobile.

Service area

City, state, and coverage notes so people know who serves their area.

Categories

Cleaners, movers, trades, food — group vendors the way people search.

Public vs private notes

Short public blurb for the list; internal notes never leave your hub.

Logo & branding

Vendor logos on Pro lists for a polished directory look.

Intro requests

Let visitors request a warm intro — you stay in the loop.
