# Vendor Management

> Add and edit a vendor's drivers, trucks, and users from your own account — without waiting on the vendor to do it.

Vendor Management lets you work inside a [vendor's](/onboarding/master-data/vendors) account for them. A vendor is an account you send dispatches to, instead of assigning your own driver. When a vendor is slow to add a new truck or driver, you add it yourself and dispatch the same day.

<Note>
  A vendor can be a multi-truck hauler, a broker, or a single Owner-Operator (O\&O).
</Note>

## Where do I find it?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings → Accounts → Vendors">
    Find the vendor in the list, then look for a **MANAGE** button on their row.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click MANAGE">
    You land on the vendor's page. It has three tabs: **Drivers**, **Equipment**, and **Users**.

## Can't find this feature?

If you don't see a **MANAGE** button, the vendor isn't set up for management yet. Email [support@tread.io](mailto:support@tread.io) with the list of vendors you need to manage.
