Vendor management

Vendors, managed once, synced everywhere

Clyr keeps a single vendor record with categories, property assignments, and tax flags, synced two-way with your property management and accounting systems. Create the vendor once; every system agrees on who they are.

What you get with Clyr

One vendor, one truth

One record, synced two-way

The vendor exists once in Clyr and syncs with Buildium, Rent Manager, and your accounting platform.

Categories and property assignments

Vendor metadata drives coding suggestions, so bills land on the right property with the right account.

1099 status tracked all year

Flag a vendor once, or inherit the flag from your PMS, and reportable totals accrue per tax year.

Payment onboarding by link

Send a link; the vendor enters their own ACH or check details. Nobody at your company handles routing numbers.

The problem

Vendor management for property managers and contractors

The same plumber exists three times in three systems with two spellings and one outdated W-9 status, and every bill routed to the wrong one costs a correction.

That mess has one cause: every system invites you to create the vendor again. Clyr removes the invitation. The vendor is created once, in one place, and two-way sync carries that single record into your property management and accounting systems, so the third spelling never gets born. Vendors created in your PMS flow into Clyr the same way; nobody re-keys anyone.

Two-way sync

One record your systems agree on

Vendor records sync two-way with Buildium and Rent Manager and with your accounting platform. Vendor creation also flows back into field-service platforms like Workiz and Hostaway where supported.

Whichever side the vendor is born on, the name, category, and assignments travel with them, and updates land everywhere the record lives.

Vendor metadata

Metadata that codes your bills for you

A vendor tagged as a plumbing contractor assigned to two properties is not just tidy record-keeping. It is coding fuel: when their bill arrives, Clyr already knows the likely category, the likely properties, and the account their work usually lands in.

The vendor record does the remembering so your bookkeeper does not.

Tax time

1099 status that follows the vendor

Flag a vendor as 1099-reportable once, or inherit the flag from Rent Manager or Buildium, and reportable payment totals accrue per tax year automatically. When January comes, the totals are already built, and e-filing happens directly from Clyr.

Onboarding

Vendors onboard themselves for payment

Collecting bank details over email is a security incident waiting to happen. In Clyr, you send the vendor a link and they enter their own ACH or check details themselves. Nobody at your company handles routing numbers, and nothing sensitive sits in an inbox.
