Abstract:
A computer system establishes partner relationships between vendors in a vendor management and maintenance system. The computer system receives a request from a first computing device associated with a first vendor to establish a relationship with a second vendor. The computer system generates a unique relationship key associated with the second vendor. The computer system receives one or more signals comprising information relating to a copy of the unique relationship key from the first computing device associated with the first vendor. Based on receiving the copy of the unique relationship key, the computer system establishes the relationship between the first vendor and the second vendor.
