-A vendor is a person or company offering something for sale, especially a trader in the street. Vendors may sell to other businesses, or they may be retailers who sell straight to consumers. For example, a furniture manufacturer supplies furniture to a retail store, or a consultant can provide their services to a manufacturing company; both are vendors.
+In a business context, a vendor is a party in the [[Supply Chain|supply chain]] that makes goods and services available to companies or consumers. The term "vendor" is typically used to describe the entity that is paid for goods provided, as opposed to the entities that are purchasing or using the goods. Vendors may sell products or services directly to a consumer or to another entity that resells the goods.
-A vendor is also referred to as a seller, supplier, service provider, and partner. The latter signifies a closer relationship between the buyer and the seller.
