Hi There-
This is Jen and I am on the Product team at Venminder. I have a few updates I can share with you. First, Vendor Spend functionality is on our roadmap for this year. We are currently working through the implementation details and your feedback would be incredibly valuable. If you are open sharing more details around your use cases please let us know and we will have our team reach out to coordinate a meeting.
Second, development is currently underway on our API that will allow for you to push vendor and product data into Venminder from another application like your AP system. These additional capabilities will alleviate the manual process of updating information like Vendor Spend in Venminder. If you would like more information on the API let us know and we would be happy to provide that to you.
Regards,
Jen

We track all of our vendor expenses in a separate spreadsheet which we populate with data from our AP system. I'd love to see it all in Venminder but cannot justify the manual labor required to update almost 400 vendors on a monthly basis. We've developed a pretty good system with the spreadsheets and several complicated vLookups!

Hi there, I'm tracking this post as well for responses. I see the comment on the "why" but how do others track finances within Venminder? There doesn't appear to be an API that connect to an accounting program. I requested our accounting dept to pull a data dump on vendor spending for 2020 just to get a gauge and did a VLookup to put it all in a spreadsheet. Definitely curious on further thoughts as well. Great question!

Hi,
This is a huge concern, tracking labor forecast vs actual against specific projects. Why? Because we want to manage our budgets and some external labor costs can be capitalized which effects the bottom line, That is why the CEO is asking for it. Using customize fields to back numbers is not efficient. There needs to be a modular that drives reporting and data analytics that can report on spend and labor efficiencies.

Hi there,
We have been discussing how to track annual vendor spend recently at our bank, per our CEO's request. My question is: how do folks go about maintaining and recording/documenting vendor spend? Do you put it in a field in Venminder? How often do you report out this statistic? Monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, annually?
Thank you!!
