Supplier Portal and Integrations
Vendventory now has a stronger supplier-collaboration and integration story than the older docs suggested. Supplier follow-up lives in the governance workspaces, and system exchange lives in Integration Hub through import jobs, supplier requests, API tokens, webhook subscriptions, and inbound payload support.
Positioning note: this capability is not a disconnected setup page. It supports Compliance Vault, supplier scorecards, scheduled briefs, and executive review by making document collection and system exchange visible and operational.
