// vendor portal - growth tier

Vendor portal — let your subcontract network dispatch itself.

Carriers log in to their own portal, see assigned trips, accept or decline, manage their vehicles and bid pricing — without you ever CC’ing them on an email thread or opening an attachment. The same portal that routes 1,200+ trips/month across our subcontract network.

// the problem

Running a subcontract network out of your inbox is why you’re tired.

Every operator we’ve ever onboarded has the same vendor workflow when they land: a spreadsheet, a shared email inbox, and about four texts per vendor per trip. You post a trip in the group chat. Someone responds. You call to confirm. You email the itinerary. They email you a signed W-9. You add their insurance expiration to a sticky note. It takes an hour per booking and nothing is logged.

When one of them cancels at 10 PM Friday for a Saturday morning airport run, you’re the one scrambling. When you grow past six vendors, the spreadsheet becomes the bottleneck. When you grow past twenty, you stop vetting new vendors because the onboarding is too painful to repeat.

The vendor portal is what replaces every piece of that workflow. Your vendors log in with their own credentials, see the trips you’ve offered them, accept or decline with one tap, upload their own insurance docs and vehicle photos, and update their own availability. You stop being a dispatcher-of-dispatchers.

// how it works

From invitation to confirmed trip, in five steps.

01

Invite with magic link

Click “+ Invite a vendor” in your CRM, paste their email, choose which service areas they can bid in. We mint a magic-link token (24h expiry, single-use) and send a branded onboarding email signed by your brand — not Stretch LLC. One click lands them in the portal.

02

Vendor self-onboards

Vendor completes their profile: DOT number, insurance certificate (PDF upload), vehicle list with photos and capacity, operating hours, service radius. Everything goes into your tenant database. You get a notification when they’re complete and ready to receive trips.

03

You offer trips, they accept

When a lead matches a vendor’s service area + available vehicle, you offer the trip from inside your CRM. Vendor sees it in their portal with a 2-hour countdown. Tap accept or decline. First-vendor-to-accept wins (configurable). Everyone else gets “trip filled.”

04

Trip detail + pickup instructions

Accepted trips show the full itinerary (pickup time, address, dropoff, pax count, special requests, your cash-in-hand pay amount, when it hits their bank). Vendor can message the dispatcher from inside the portal — no personal phone numbers exchanged.

05

Performance tracked over time

Every accept, decline, on-time pickup, late pickup, cancellation and client rating lives in the vendor’s profile. Close-rate column on your vendor list is the single number that tells you who to send more work to.

// what unlocks it

Starts on the Growth tier.

No surprises, no “contact sales for pricing.” Everything in the stack has a price tag on the box.

// unlocks on

Growth tier

Vendor portal + auto-leads dispatch rules unlock together on the Growth tier — because inviting carriers without a rule engine to route to them is just a nicer inbox. Growth includes 2,000 leads/mo, 25 vehicles, 15 users, and the full vendor onboarding + offer + accept + perf-tracking flow.

// FAQ

Buyer questions, answered.

Do my vendors need their own Stretch account?
No. They log into your vendor portal at your custom domain (or at {yourslug}.stretch-llc.com on Free). They never see Stretch branding, never pay us anything, and never interact with your other vendors.
What about the UC vendor portal — is this the same code?
Yes — this is a battle-tested re-skin of the vendor portal that routes 1,200+ trips/month at Unlimited Charters. Same accept/decline flow, same magic-link onboarding, same performance scoring. Multi-tenanted so every Stretch customer gets their own isolated instance.
Can vendors bid against each other?
Yes. First-vendor-to-accept wins is the default, but you can switch to a 2-hour sealed-bid window where every eligible vendor submits a price and you pick the winner. Great for premium trips where price matters more than response speed.
How do payouts work?
On Growth, you pay vendors however you’re paying them today — ACH, Zelle, check, cash. On Scale, we add integrated Fortis vault payouts so you can fire a one-click payout from inside the trip detail. Vendor sees the payout timestamp in their portal.
Can I see insurance expirations before they lapse?
Yes — the portal flags expiring certificates at 60, 30 and 7 days out. Vendor gets an email, you get a dashboard alert, and the vendor’s account auto-pauses on expiration day until they upload a renewed cert.
