Managing cleaning and maintenance suppliers means each vendor has one consistent record, connected to the properties they service and the work orders they've completed — instead of a contact list disconnected from the actual work history. In **Jestor**, this uses the same structured supplier registry applied to any vendor relationship.

Short-stay operators often work with several small, local cleaning and maintenance vendors — exactly the kind of fragmented supplier base that benefits most from structure, since there's no natural consolidation happening otherwise.

## What unstructured supplier management costs

- The same vendor entered multiple times across different property records
- No connection between a vendor and the actual work orders they've completed
- No easy way to compare vendor performance or cost across properties
- Manual tracking of vendor contact details and service areas

## How structured supplier management works

- Each vendor gets one connected record, referenced across every property they service
- Work orders connect directly to both the property and the vendor who completed them
- Costs connect back to the vendor, supporting performance and cost comparison
- Approval **alçadas** apply to vendor-related expenses the same as any other

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- One consistent vendor record replaces duplicated, inconsistent entries
- Work order history stays connected, supporting vendor performance review
- The same registry scales as new vendors are added across a growing portfolio
- Native OCR can pre-fill vendor data from registration documents
