The reality
Managing vendors is crazy.
The information exists. It just exists everywhere: across portals, PDFs, email, spreadsheets, and the memory of whoever dealt with it last.
The consequence
You default to the usual three.
Not because they always have the best product or terms. Because each additional relationship adds another layer of work. Familiar becomes easier than better.
