Available now on Beta. This feature is in beta testing and will roll out to everyone soon.

What is this?

The Vendor Portal is where your rental vendors work with you inside Clue. They answer quote requests, and they keep their own rate sheets up to date. When a vendor uploads a rate sheet, Clue reads it automatically. You see those rates in your Rentals, read-only, always current.

Who's this for?

Your rental vendors, and the people on your team who invite them.

  • Vendor account owners, upload a rate sheet once and keep it current for each customer.
  • Vendor sales reps, fix a mis-read line in seconds, no spreadsheets emailed back and forth.
  • Your rental team, always sees the vendor's latest agreed pricing.

How to use it

Step 1: Open the Rate Book

In the portal, open Rate Book. Each customer has its own section. Books are marked Active or Expired, so the current one is always clear.

Step 3: Check, fix, and re-run
