Vendor Portal
Streamline vendor management
Onboard and collaborate with vendors in one central hub
Companies today are more extended than ever — and employees often work day in and day out with a broad range of contractors, vendors and suppliers. But when you work outside of traditional corporate boundaries, it's easy for content to become fragmented and even lost across different personal hard drives, file shares and email attachments. That's where Box comes in. With Box, you get a solution where teams can easily and securely collaborate with vendors in one central, online hub. Contracts, design specs, inventory docs and other key files are easily accessible from any device so you can power your business seamlessly in the cloud.

Lock in your security
