Becoming a Vendor

What You Should Know

Becoming an approved vendor is a simple three-step process:

  1. Basic Qualification – Contact the appropriate party listed below for specific requirements/documentation needed.
  2. Once all documentation is received, a request for a VendorCafe® invitation will be sent to the Accounts Payable Department.
  3. Accounts Payable will send the vendor an invitation to Yardi VendorCafe®. This is a no cost portal where vendors can submit and track invoices as well as choose their preferred payment method.

Vendors will be required to pass various background/business checks, including, but not limited to:

  • Government Watch Lists
  • W-9 Confirmation with the IRS
  • Proof of insurance meeting Continental Realty Corporation’s requirements
  • Applicable professional licenses
  • Register and submit ALL invoices electronically through Yardi VendorCafe®

There is no cost to be paid by paper check or traditional ACH (direct deposit).

There is a processing fee if you wish to be paid by Yardi VirtualCard. Vendors agree that they will NOT add this fee to your invoice or statement.

We do not require our vendors to enroll in VendorShield® at present.

Payments are processed on Wednesday each week unless there is a banking holiday. Invoices must be fully approved by the close of business on Monday to be included in the current week’s payment run.

We make every effort to pay invoices before the due date, provided they are submitted in a timely manner and are fully approved by close of business on Monday. However, we are unable to pay invoices marked payable “on demand” or “on receipt” any earlier than two weeks after receipt due to required approvals and the timing our regular payments run.
