The Vendor Alliance Program provides participating vendors and manufacturers the controls they need to manage the proper use of their catalog by authorized dealers and retailers.
Here is how the approval process operates:
 |
 |
Vendor Catalog Websites Once a manufacturer's catalog is ready to be loaded onto dealer eCommerce web stores, a Vendor Catalog website is established at www.UniformMarket.com. This Vendor Catalog website is used by retailers and dealers as a way for them to preview how the line of products will look on their web store(s). It is also the place where the dealer goes to request authorization for the catalog be loaded to their web store(s). |
 |
 |
Catalog Authorization Form A dealer who would like to request a catalog be loaded fills out the Catalog Authorization form at the Vendor Catalog Website for that brand. The dealer provides their name, company name, account number and contact information. |
 |
 |
Email Sent To Vendor/Manufacturer Manufacturers in the Vendor Alliance Program will receive an email from their Vendor Catalog Website whenever a Catalog Authorization Form is filled out. Included in that email is a link to a web page where the manufacturer can approve or deny the request. |
 |
 |
Approval/Denial Form Here is where the manufacturer has the opportunity to approve or deny the request for a catalog of theirs to be loaded on a specific dealer's website. Specific comments/instructions can also be included in the approval process where required. In certain cases, additional specifications may be supplied, such as "Approved for Class B Line Only." |
 |
 |
Email Sent To Dealer The dealer who initiated the request is sent an email at each step of the process. One email confirms for the dealer that a request has been submitted, and gives them a copy of the information they sent. The final email in the process informs the dealer if their request was approved or denied. |
