Vendors
Manage your suppliers and their details.
What is the Vendors Screen?
The Vendors screen is your supplier directory. Each vendor record stores contact info, store location, distance, website, and notes. Vendors are linked to items through the item-vendor relationship, which drives purchase pricing and the MRP shopping list.
Key Features
Walk-in stores with address, phone, and distance tracking
Delivery vendors (Amazon, Sysco) — no physical address needed
Preferred vendor flag per item for automatic price resolution
Tax assignments per vendor for landed cost calculation
Item-vendor pricing with vendor SKU tracking
Why It Matters
Vendor data feeds directly into purchasing and MRP. When you assign a preferred vendor to an item, STORM automatically uses their price for cost estimates, shopping lists, and purchase orders. Without accurate vendor records, you're guessing on costs and missing the best deals.
