Vendor Database
Vendor Database is the organization-wide vendor list that every other view draws on. Each vendor has a name, primary contact, trade tags, a rating from past Bid Leveling runs, notes and a count of projects, and you add vendors manually or by CSV import.
What does the Vendor Database show?
Vendor Database is scoped to your organization — vendors are shared across all projects. Each vendor has a name, primary contact, trade tags, rating (from past Bid Leveling runs), notes, and a count of how many projects they've been on.

How are vendor ratings calculated?
Vendor ratings are aggregated from Bid Leveling runs. Each leveling run produces a 5-category scorecard per vendor (price, scope, completeness, lead time, reliability). Click Save scores to Vendor Database at the bottom of a leveling result to add to the running average. Ratings persist across projects.
