Vendor Edge featured by The Vendor Guide
Vendors of goods and services for multi-family properties (apartment complexes) use Vendor Edge to perform
targeted searches for customers, across 13,000 different communities. Vendors purchase ‘points’ in the form
of a monthly subscription to Vendor Edge. When a search is performed, the user is asked to ‘approve spending’.
A summary of available points, ‘points required’ and ‘points remaining’, is provided in the form of a dashboard.
Vendor Edge’s primary search screen
If they user approves the search, the results are displayed along with an updated point summary. User may
download and email reports in Microsoft Excel or Adobe PDF format. Using Vendor Edge, a typical report with
information on every property in the Dallas and Fort Worth area will cost approximately $400.00.
Vendor Edge Points Summary dashboard
Vendor Edge search results are very specific. Users can perform a detailed search for apartment communities
that fit a wide range of criteria including: year built, number of units, location, etc. Users can view information
in 30, 60, or 90 day increments, or they may select a custom date range. This is useful for locators working with
customers who selling a particular service or product to multi-family properties. For example, a pool services
company can search for apartments with pools, while a workout equipment company may search for properties with
fitness centers. Users can access information about properties under construction too. This gives customers
like the pool services and workout equipment companies an edge. Often times, customers use Vendor Edge search
results to target email advertising campaigns.
