# Vendors
> Manage vendors for your AssetOps portfolio
In AssetOps, **vendors** are created at the [portfolio level](/products/assetops/quickstart/usage-workflow#portfolio-level) and represent the external companies and service providers that carry out maintenance activities. Vendors are shared across all buildings in your portfolio, providing a single, consistent list available throughout.
Adding vendors and assigning users as vendor members allows you to link the right provider to work orders and track who is responsible for outsourced maintenance and repairs. You can assign vendors when [creating work orders](/products/assetops/work-orders/work-orders-overview#create-a-work-order).
