VendorCafé
VendorCafé is WECHC’s online vendor management system. Use VendorCafé to:

- Electronically submit invoices for payment against completed work orders and purchase orders, as well as track invoice approvals and payments.
If you are already using VendorCafé for another client, you can use your existing account for multiple clients. A dropdown menu within VendorCafé will display your various clients and allow you to switch between them.
If you are new to VendorCafé, please register by emailing vendorsupport@wechc.com with the requested changes to your primary and/or alternative email address. Note that the primary email address is linked to your VendorCafé page, EFT payments and correspondence; the alternative email address is used for dispatching work orders only.
You will receive an email within 48hrs from VendorCafé_Registration@yardi.com with a link inviting you to join and register. The invitation will include a quick start guide, a link to a Yardi VendorCafé webinar that you can attend for free, as well as contact information and resources to provide you with support.
