Vendor Management
Secure onboarding. Continuous compliance.
Your ERP holds the data. Stampli holds the story.
Standardize vendor onboarding and enforce compliance before spend occurs. Vendors submit required documents through a secure portal, and incomplete or expired records automatically block invoices or payments. Stampli preserves the full context – contracts, communications, and history – so finance has complete visibility and control.
What makes Stampli's vendor management different?
ERP data plus full vendor context
Your ERP remains the system of record, while Stampli adds the documents, terms, communication, and history needed to understand whether a vendor is ready to transact.
Compliance enforced before spend moves
Missing forms, expired documents, and incomplete records can trigger alerts, prevent vendors from becoming payable, and block invoices or payments before risk turns into rework.
Audit-ready by default
Every onboarding step, document update, communication, and approval is preserved in a complete vendor history, giving finance clearer accountability and stronger visibility.
Stampli Vendor Management capabilities
Vendor onboarding
Standardize onboarding with customizable forms, workflow logic, and secure document collection so vendor records start accurate, complete, and ready for compliance review.
Vendor portal
Give vendors a secure self-service portal to submit W-9s, banking details, insurance, and other required records directly, reducing manual follow-up while improving data quality.
Vendor communication
Keep vendor communication attached to the record and the transaction, so finance can see the full story behind requests, updates, and exceptions instead of piecing it together later.
Document compliance
Automate collection, tracking, expiration monitoring, and payable gating so vendor compliance becomes part of everyday operations rather than a manual audit exercise.
Vendor records need more than fields in an ERP
Vendor data alone does not show whether a vendor is approved, compliant, insured, or safe to pay. Stampli keeps the ERP aligned while adding the operational context around each vendor: onboarding requirements, contract details, compliance status, communications, and interaction history. That visibility helps finance guide decisions earlier and avoid downstream surprises.
Key features of Stampli’s Vendor Management
Secure self-service vendor portal for data collection
Vendors submit and maintain their own onboarding information, including tax forms, banking details, insurance documents, and profile updates through a secure portal.
Customizable onboarding forms by vendor type
Create onboarding flows tailored to different vendor categories so requirements match the risk profile and business need of each vendor relationship.
Automated document compliance and payment blocking
Trigger reminders for missing or expired documents and automatically block invoices or payments when required compliance conditions are not met.
Contract management with expiration alerts
Track contract terms and renewal timing so vendor obligations, expirations, and dependencies remain visible before they create operational or financial risk.
Audit-ready history of all vendor interactions
Preserve onboarding actions, communications, document changes, approvals, and status updates in one historical record for stronger accountability.
ERP-synced vendor records
Synchronize vendor information with the ERP as the system of record while enriching those records with the context finance needs outside the ERP.
Secure document management and role-based visibility
Protect sensitive records with controlled access, masked data, and role-based visibility so teams see only what they need while finance maintains oversight.
Payable status controls
Define the requirements a vendor must meet to become payable and keep those rules enforced consistently across onboarding, AP, and payments.
