Vendor Application System
It would be a HUGE enhancement to have a vendor "application" system that worked the same way as FastTrack. A separate login page for vendors to enter their own information to register/apply with the district as a vendor that allow them to enter information into the fields from the Vendor Profile screens that we prescribe. That application could then be rolled to Vendor Profile, just as employment applications are rolled to Employee Profile. Vendors could have the ability to upload attachments (W-9s, contracts, red light/green light letters, etc.) and district staff could screen and approve the vendors' applications. If follow up was needed with a vendor, Statuses could be used to generate automatic emails, exactly like in FastTrack. All stakeholders (finance department, financial secretaries, teachers, principals, etc.) in the district could easily view where a vendor was in the process by viewing their status. This module could replace outside resources like Vendor Registry which require shuffling between websites, potential data entry errors, additional security concerns, and less efficiency for all parties involved. This would be AMAZING!
