Adding & Editing Vendors in Ginesys HO

A vendor is a party in the supply chain that makes goods and services available to companies or consumers. The term "vendor" is typically used to describe the entity that is paid for goods that are provided, rather than the manufacturer of the goods itself. Also known as a supplier, a vendor, is an individual or company that sells goods or services to someone else in the economic production chain. In information technology as well as in other industries, the term is commonly applied to suppliers of goods and services to other companies.
