2

You review

Submissions land in your queue with everything attached. Filter, sort, open, and see the dealer's submitted data side-by-side with their account record.

3

Approve or reject

Single click. Optional auto-approve for web-approval, document, invoice, and price-sheet methods — Smackdab pre-validates before they reach you.

4

Track forever

Vendor partner FAQs

Answers for vendor partners.

The most-asked
01

Who sees the analytics?

Toggle

Only you. Each Certified Vendor Partner gets a private workspace scoped to your brand and your authorized dealer network. Smackdab never shares your data with other vendors.

Your dealers' Smackdab activity — proposals they build with your products, orders they place, qualifications they submit. We surface what they already do; we don't ask them to enter anything extra.

Yes — Smackdab pulls dealer activity natively. For your own systems (ERP, price-sheet management, partner portal) we offer API access and CSV import/export.

Once qualified through Smackdab, your dealers get a verified badge inside the platform. Their proposals using your products surface trust signals to end customers, and they unlock dealer-tier pricing you publish.

It's completely free to our vendor partners. Reach out and most partners are live within two weeks.
