Vendor Portal overview

This is an old version of the article. Please check the actual version in our new Product overview documentation. 

The Vendor Portal is a tool designed for your Vendors: linguists and other specialist. It can be used by freelancers, agencies and even your in-house team.

With the Vendor Portal they can:

• Review Job Offers. Accept or reject new Job Offers.
• Have a clear preview of all current, pending and completed work.
• Download the source files and upload the completed target files. All files are finally in one place.
• Create an invoice for completed work.
• Notify their customer (the owner of the Vendor Portal) about planned unavailability.

Manager inviting Vendor to VP

Any Vendor Contact Person can use it when invited. You can invite your partners with the "Invite to Vendor Portal" functionality button. It is found in two places:

• At the bottom of any Contact Person's 'Main Data' tab (good for individual invitations)
• In either Vendors, or Contacts list, if you pick at least one item (good for group invitations, provided the chosen Vendor has Contact Persons)

Here is a clip explaining how to do it.
