Suppliers

Keep the practical detail close.

Some references lead to things you can source. Keep supplier records alongside your design library, ready for the moment an idea becomes a decision.

01

Browse the suppliers you keep.

Return to supplier records and the references saved from them. Useful contacts and source links give the practical side of an idea a place in the same workspace.

02

A source is not always a supplier.

An editorial page, a designer, a maker and a shop can be different people. Vade keeps the original source on every save; a reference does not need to become a supplier record.

03

Useful depth, when you need it.

For sourcing work, you can enable Projects and Areas in Settings. The everyday library and boards remain the place to collect and develop your references.

Questions, answered.

Does every reference need a supplier?
No. Supplier details are relevant when you are sourcing something. A poster, a room photograph or an interface reference can simply keep its original page.
Is the supplier library included in Free?
Yes. You can browse suppliers and their saved references on Free.
Can I still use Vade for interior design?
Yes. Materials, furniture and supplier research fit alongside identity, packaging and digital references. The interior design guides and templates remain available as practical resources.
