Platform

Every vendor relationship, one operations core.

Vendeal gives vendors one operations core — catalog, orders, invoicing, CRM, and payments — that you can extend upstream to suppliers or downstream to dealerships whenever it's useful, never because the system requires it.

WHY ONE CORE

One backend, not one integration per vendor.

One identity across every vendor

A dealership logs in once and sees every connected vendor’s catalog and invoices in the same AP Clearinghouse, not a separate portal per vendor relationship.

One source of truth per catalog item

A price or inventory change happens in one place and is what every connected dealership sees immediately, not a spreadsheet mailed out per update.

One security model

Every org and role runs through the same access control, and any payment you choose to process through Stripe runs through the same integration, whether you’re a two-person F&I agency or a national distributor.

See exactly how access control and payment data are handled on the Security page.

ECOSYSTEM

From upstream supply to the dealership floor.

This is the full ecosystem Vendeal can connect, not a checklist. Most vendors start with catalog, orders, and invoicing, and add the upstream or dealership pieces later, if at all.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLATFORM

Does every vendor group run on the same platform?

Yes. F&I GAs, aftermarket distributors, dealer tech providers, and fixed ops suppliers all run the same catalog, orders, invoicing, and CRM core, branded to look like their own product.

Can a dealership see invoices from more than one vendor in one place?

Yes. The AP Clearinghouse aggregates every connected vendor’s invoices behind one free login, so a dealership isn’t juggling a portal per vendor.

What sits upstream of a vendor?

A Manufacturer/Underwriter layer that a vendor org can connect to and place its own replenishment purchase orders against, the same way a dealership orders from that vendor.

Is data isolated between organizations?

Yes. Every read is scoped to organizations you belong to, and cross-org records like purchase orders and invoices are visible only to the buyer and seller on that specific record.
