Rooted in Experience: Vendor Lifecycle Management, Built From the Inside Out

Most proptech companies start with an idea.
‍

VendorPM started with a problem.

‍

‍

Built From the Ground Up

‍

Before founding VendorPM, Co Founders Emiel Bril & Dylan Sher were working directly alongside property managers seeing firsthand how vendor management actually operated behind the scenes, and where it consistently broke down.

‍

What they saw wasn’t just inefficiency. It was a system held together by workarounds:

  • Vendor information buried in spreadsheets
  • Compliance tracked manually — if at all
  • Bids lost in long email threads
  • Contracts scattered across systems with no single source of truth

‍

The risk wasn’t just operational. It impacted day-to-day interactions, slowed decision-making, and created friction that stood in the way of long-term partnerships.

‍

‍

What That Meant in Practice

‍

As portfolios grew, so did the friction.

‍

Property managers were left chasing documents, managing vendors across disconnected tools, and making decisions without clear visibility.

‍

Vendors faced a different challenge:

  • unclear requirements
  • inconsistent onboarding
  • limited visibility into opportunities

The result?

‍
More back-and-forth. Less clarity. Slower decisions.

‍

‍

The Shift

‍

VendorPM wasn’t built to add another tool.

‍

It was built to create one system — connecting vendors and property managers across the full lifecycle:

‍

Onboarding. Compliance. Bidding. Contracts.

‍

All in one place.

‍

‍

Why It Works: Built From Experience, Not Assumptions

‍

Building management isn’t one-sided — it’s a relationship.

‍

When both sides operate in the same system:

  • Vendors stay compliant and visible
  • Property managers gain oversight and control
  • Work moves faster, with less friction

‍

Everything becomes clearer, faster, and easier to manage since VendorPM reflects how the work actually gets done.

‍

‍

More Than Software

‍

It’s a better way to run buildings.
