# 2025-07-30: CE - Vendor Management

## Overview

We are releasing the Vendor Management, a key feature designed to empower vendors to manage their business autonomously and securely. This release enables vendors to access and control their own products, orders, and analytics, ensuring strict data privacy, operational transparency, and simplified vendor management for marketplace operators. This feature supports multi-vendor business models by enabling scalable, independent vendor operations within a single platform environment.
