Vendor Management
Keeping a record of the companies that supply your devices and services.
What is Vendor Management?
Vendor Management is your address book for all the external companies you work with for your fleet. This is where you keep a record of the businesses that sell you tracking devices, provide maintenance services, or supply other equipment.
Why is it Useful?
Maintaining a clean list of vendors is important for procurement and support.
- Centralized Contact Info: When a tracking device malfunctions, you can quickly look up the vendor's contact information to initiate a support request.
- Procurement: When it's time to buy new devices, you have a ready-made list of approved suppliers.
- Organization: It allows you to neatly categorize your devices and services by the company that supplied them. When you register a new device, you will select its vendor from the list you create here.
