How Berger Communities Transformed Vendor Compliance with NetVendor
NetVendor helped Berger Communities eliminate manual vendor compliance tracking across 80+ properties in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland — replacing a binder-based process with automated COI collection, Entrata-integrated compliance enforcement, and streamlined vendor onboarding.
✓ Easiest integration implemented — works flawlessly with Entrata
✓ Vendors blocked from payment if not compliant — fully automatic
✓ Scale without compliance risk as portfolio grows
✓ New property onboarding is fast — vendors often already enrolled
✓ Accounting team freed from manual vendor chasing
Before NetVendor, Berger's vendor compliance process was entirely manual and handled by the accounting team. COIs and W-9s were tracked without automation or alerts, compliance couldn't be enforced at the point of payment, and there was no system to flag non-compliant vendors before work was performed. The process didn't scale with the portfolio.
Objectives:
- Replace manual, binder-based compliance tracking with an automated system
- Enforce vendor compliance requirements at the point of payment
- Integrate directly with Entrata to eliminate duplicate data entry
- Reduce compliance risk without adding headcount
- Onboard new vendors quickly as the portfolio grows
“Our accounting team had to manually track compliance using a binder—it was insane that in 2018, we didn’t have an automated system.”
How Berger Communities Automated Vendor Compliance With NetVendor + Entrata
NetVendor's direct Entrata integration was the deciding factor for Berger Communities — vendors cannot be paid or used until they are fully compliant, enforced automatically inside the system the team already uses.
“We knew immediately that NetVendor was the best fit. If a system doesn’t integrate easily, we don’t want it. NetVendor was our easiest integration, and it works flawlessly with Entrata.”
