Understanding Vendors
A vendor is a person, company, or entity that sells goods or services. Vendors can operate in various industries and sectors, ranging from retail to technology to manufacturing. They can sell directly to consumers or to other businesses, depending on their target market and business model. Vendors play a crucial role in the supply chain by providing the products or services needed by consumers or other businesses.
