← Vendor-file cleanup

Sample only · no private documents

What the cleanup checklist can look like.

This is a safe sample column layout for a lightweight vendor-file cleanup pilot. It shows the admin structure — not a request for W-9s, COIs, payment details, credentials, IDs, or confidential vendor files.

Sample columns

ColumnExample valueWhy it helpsBoundary
Vendor nameAcme MaintenanceNormalizes duplicate rows and spelling variants.Use public or authorized list names only.
Visible source / owner notePublic vendor page, shared admin list, or internal owner initialsKeeps each row traceable without collecting private files.No portal credentials or private customer/tenant data.
Contact freshnessCurrent / stale / unknownFlags rows that need an internal owner to verify.No personal/private emails unless already authorized by the team.
Status fields present?COI date field present; license date missing; W-9 field blankIdentifies which fields need internal review.No document review, validation, or insurance/tax/legal judgment.
Duplicate/stale flagPotential duplicate: Acme Maint. / Acme Maintenance LLCCreates a practical cleanup queue.Human owner decides merges/deletions.
Next internal questionWho owns renewal reminder? Which contact is current?Turns messy records into a small action list.No binding vendor/procurement/payment decisions.

Good first-pass inputs

  • A public vendor page or a non-sensitive export the team is allowed to share.
  • A short description of the mess: duplicates, stale reminders, missing fields, unclear owners.
  • 3–10 sample rows with private fields removed, if public context is not enough.

Do not send

  • W-9s, COIs, IDs, bank/payment details, contracts, certificates, tax forms, or private vendor documents.
  • Portal logins, credentials, phone verification, tenant/customer data, or confidential internal notes.
  • Requests for legal, tax, insurance, compliance, procurement, or payment advice.
Want to test fit safely? Email [email protected] with a 3–5 sentence summary and, if available, a public vendor page. Do not attach private documents.
