==Description== A vendor is a supply chain management term that means anyone who provides goods or services of experience to another entity. Vendors may sell B2B (business-to-business; i.e., to other companies), B2C (business to consumers or direct-to-consumer), or B2G (business to government). Some vendors manufacture inventoriable items and then sell those items to customers, while other vendors offer services or experiences. The term vendor and the term supplier are often used indifferently. One distinction which might be made is that the vendors sell the goods or services while the supplier provides the goods or services. In most business contexts, except retail, this difference has no impact and words are interchangeable.
