Managing Vendors

Vendors are your go-to contractors — plumbers, electricians, handymen, HVAC techs. Adding them to Domara lets you quickly assign them to maintenance requests.

Adding a vendor

1. Go to Vendors in the sidebar (under Operations)
2. Click Add Vendor
3. Enter their name, phone, email, and trade category (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, general, etc.)
4. Optionally add notes (e.g., "Good for emergencies, available weekends")
5. Click Save

Assigning vendors to requests

When a maintenance request comes in:

1. Open the request detail page
2. In the sidebar, select the vendor from the dropdown
3. The assignment saves automatically

Tips

• Build your vendor list early — add your trusted contractors before you need them. When a pipe bursts at 2 AM, you don't want to be searching for a plumber.
• Trade categories help — when a plumbing request comes in, your vendor dropdown shows plumbers first
• Keep contact info current — update phone numbers and emails so you can reach vendors quickly
