Explore Tile: All Vendors (Your Stack)

What this is

All Vendors is the first tile in the Explore row on the Vendors home page, and it is your full, searchable roster: every software subscription, equipment rental account, subcontractor, and supplier you work with, in one filterable list. Tapping it opens the Stack tab, a card grid or table of every active vendor relationship Verinode has picked up, each carrying its category, its monthly cost, and its Verinode Score.

Verinode does not create this list for you to fill in by hand. It reads the invoices, contracts, and renewal emails you forward or upload, and the vendor stack appears here as data flows in. You never type a vendor list from scratch; you add data and the roster builds itself.

Where to find it

Open Vendors from the sidebar (/vendors). The page has three rows: Take Action, Explore, and Your Stack.

The Explore row is a horizontal strip of five metric tiles, in this order:

1. All Vendors, the tile this article covers
2. Avg Score
3. Coverage
4. Spend
5. Renewals

Tapping All Vendors opens the vendor card slider on the Stack tab. The same slider has five tabs across the top, Findings, Stack, Coverage, Spend, Renewals, so you can also reach the Stack tab directly by tapping its tab label once the slider is open.

Reading the All Vendors tile itself

Before you open it, the tile tells you three things at a glance:

• The headline number, your total count of active vendor relationships.
• A category count underneath it, for example "6 categories," how many distinct vendor categories your stack spans.
• A small bar preview, a sparkline-style chart of vendor counts across your top categories, so the tile visually communicates how concentrated or spread out your stack is even before you tap in.

If you have not added any vendors yet, the tile still renders with a 0 count. The Your Stack row below it reads: "Vendors will appear as you forward contracts, drop invoices, or paste renewal emails."

The Stack tab

The filter bar

Across the top of the Stack tab sits a row of controls:

• Search vendors…, a free-text box that matches against vendor name only. Typing "servpro" or "xactimate" filters the list live as you type.
• Score dropdown, a select box with six options: All scores, Strong (8+), Solid (6-8), Mixed (4-6), Weak (<4), and Not scored yet. This buckets vendors by their Verinode Score. Choosing Not scored yet shows only vendors that have not accumulated enough evidence for a score.

• Status dropdown, three options: Active, Archived, Both. Defaults to Active, so archived (inactive) vendor relationships stay out of the way until you ask for them.
• Clear (N) link, appears only once at least one filter is active (search, category, score, or a non-default status). Click it to reset every filter back to defaults in one move. The number in parentheses counts how many filters are currently applied.
• View toggle, two icons at the far right, a grid icon for Card view and a stacked-lines icon for Table view. This is the same view toggle used elsewhere on the platform (Jobs, Benchmarks Ratings). Your last choice, plus your search text, is saved in the page URL so a refresh or a shared link keeps your view.

Below the filter row, category pills appear for every category represented in your (status-filtered) vendor list, sorted by how many vendors sit in each one. Each pill shows the category name and its count, for example "Restoration Software · 4." Click a pill to filter down to that category; click it again to remove the filter. You can select more than one category at once. If you have more than 8 categories, an "+N more" button expands the rest; once expanded it reads "Show fewer."

Under the pills, a count line reads: "{filtered} of {total} vendors" (singular "vendor" when the total is exactly 1), so you always know how much of your stack the current filters are hiding.

Card view

The default view. Vendors render as a responsive grid (one column on narrow screens, up to three columns wide). Each card shows:

• Logo and name, the vendor's logo (or a generated placeholder if none is available) at 36px, next to the vendor name in bold.
• Category, in muted text directly under the name.
• A Network Preferred badge, a small steel-blue pill reading "Network preferred," "Network approved," or "Network required," when your franchise or association network has designated a program for that vendor. This is informational only, it never blocks or restricts your choice of vendor, it just tells you your network has a negotiated relationship with this one.
• Monthly, the vendor's current monthly cost, formatted as currency with a "/mo" suffix (for example "$249/mo"). A dash (, ) means no cost is on file.
• Verinode, the Verinode Score to one decimal place, with its plain-language label beside it (Strong, Solid, Mixed, or Weak) when available, or a dash if the vendor has not accumulated enough evidence yet.
• Renews {date}, shown only when a contract renewal date is on file, formatted like "Renews Sep 14, '26."
• A select checkbox, top-right corner of the card, for building a comparison (see Compare, below).

Click anywhere on the card body (outside the checkbox) to drill into that vendor's full detail view.

Table view

The same filtered list as a real table, with fixed column widths so numbers stay aligned as you scroll: a select checkbox, Vendor (logo + name), Category, Monthly, Verinode (score + label), Rating (your own satisfaction rating out of 5, or a dash if you haven't rated it), and Renews. Click any row to drill into that vendor.

Comparing vendors

Both views let you select up to 4 vendors at once using the checkbox on each card or table row (the checkbox disables once you've picked 4). As soon as one vendor is selected, a floating Compare N pill appears pinned near the bottom of the screen, with a Clear button beside it. Click Compare N to open a side-by-side comparison of the selected vendors, logo, category, Verinode Score, monthly cost, your rating, team rating, renewal date, and switchability, laid out in columns. Comparing across different categories works, but score and benchmark rows are only meaningful when you're comparing vendors within the same category.

The Verinode Score column, gated at the Contributor tier

On both the Verinode Score number and the card/table Verinode figure, Contributor-tier accounts see a blurred value with the tooltip "Members only, Verinode Score unlocks at Executive tier." Clicking it opens the pricing options. This is the interaction-gated paywall pattern used across the platform: the layout, filters, and every column are visible in full to every tier, but the scarce peer-and-research intelligence (the score itself) is blurred until you're on a paid membership. Nothing about the score changes once unlocked, it's the same number, the same label, on the same card.

Empty states

• No vendors ingested at all. The Stack tab (when opened from the slider) reads "No vendors in your stack yet." The Vendors home page's Your Stack row reads: "Vendors will appear as you forward contracts, drop invoices, or paste renewal emails."
• Filters applied but nothing matches. The list body reads "No vendors match the current filters." Use Clear to reset.

How to use it

1. 1Open Vendors from the sidebar, then tap All Vendors in the Explore row.
2. 2Set Status to Both if you want to see archived relationships alongside active ones; leave it on Active for your day-to-day roster.
3. 3Narrow with category pills if you're comparing within one part of your stack (for example, just Equipment Rental).
4. 4Use the Score dropdown to isolate underperformers, choose Weak (<4) or Mixed (4-6) to see which vendors are dragging your average, then open each one to read the full deep-dive and decide whether to renegotiate or replace.
5. 5Switch to Table view when you want to scan Monthly cost and Verinode Score across many rows at once, or stay in Card view for the fuller, logo-forward read.
6. 6Select up to 4 vendors and hit Compare when you're deciding between similar vendors in the same category, for example two equipment rental accounts up for renewal in the same month.
