Our take

Property managers must juggle the planning, sourcing, procurement, and management of building services and vendors in order to keep their business running smoothly. However, doing this whilst maintaining compliance can be a particular challenge when so many building services are required and communication occurs across many different e-mail threads and mediums.

VendorPM provides an all-in-one marketplace for property managers to connect with building services and vendors, allowing them to plan services, source & procure them, and manage contracts & compliance within the same platform. The company provides its services to over 100 property management firms and over 30,000 building service vendors, helping both parties to manage their business relationships efficiently and without friction.

Whilst property management firms and building service vendors can already contact each other, and do so compliantly, VendorPM presents a unique all-in-one solution to make this process simpler. Having raised funding in 2022, the company is investing its capital into product innovation, talent acquisition, and expansion plans across the United States.
