“We are thrilled to be partnering with the team at Bessemer to expand from Canada into the US while continuing to build the best-in-class vendor technology for property management.”
Property managers in North America spend over $400 billion to service their buildings each year but still rely on old-school methods such as email, excel spreadsheets and word-of-mouth. This is highly inefficient for property managers and leaves head-office with limited visibility and control. The first to truly modernize the workflow, VendorPM’s SaaS tool bridges the gap via its centralized platform, allowing property management companies to streamline and organize vendor data and operations.
The company currently manages a two-sided marketplace across Canada in support of both property managers and service vendors. Thousands of property managers turn to VendorPM to organize all aspects of their vendor relationships and resources, while vendors use the platform to market their services and provide quotations and proposals. The platform supports 400+ building services across maintenance, operations, capital expenditures and professional services.
In less than 2 years, VendorPM has seen 20x revenue growth, and has rapidly scaled its business to cover more than 5,000 buildings, 30,000 vendors and 100 property management firms, including notable relationships with BentallGreenOak, Cushman & Wakefield | Stevenson, and Avison Young.

“We’re excited to partner with VendorPM to help drive their continued expansion into important new markets ripe for this crucial technology, especially as the world begins to recalibrate post-pandemic,” said Mike Droesch, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “We were impressed with the product that VendorPM is already delivering to their customers across Canada, and we look forward to further elevating them on their mission of empowering property managers and vendors to build better relationships through data and transparency.”
