[Product Catalog](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/product-catalog?hsLang=en) # Retail | Product Catalog: Managing Brands and Vendors ## Brands and vendors in the BLAZE Product Catalog are shared company-wide. Maintaining a single canonical list ensures consistency across menus, filtering, purchase orders, and reporting across every store location. ### Prerequisites - Access to the BLAZE Web Portal. - Permissions to manage company-level **Product Catalog** settings (Brands & Vendors). --- ### Managing Company Brands The **Company Brands** page lists every brand along with its logo, name, website, contact info, lead time, and active status. You can search using the **Search for a brand…** bar or filter by status (**All**, **Active**, or **Inactive**). ##### **How to Create a Brand** 1. Navigate to **Products \> Brands** and click **New Brand**. 2. Select your starting method: - **Use a global brand:** Select an existing brand pre-filled from the BLAZE global catalog. - **Start from scratch:** Create a brand entirely from nothing. 3. On the **Brand Profile** tab, complete the relevant fields: - **Brand Name:** Enter the official brand name *(Required)*. - **Visibility:** Set to **Active** or **Inactive**. - **Contact Information:** Enter **Website**, **Phone**, and **Email**. - **Inventory Defaults:** Set **Lead Time (days)** *(the expected days from purchase order to receipt)*, **Min Days On Hand**, and **Max Days On Hand**. - **Description:** Add a public-facing description of the brand. 4. Click the **Logo** tab to upload an image. 5. Click **Create Brand**. ##### **How to Delete a Brand** 1. Locate the brand on the **Company Brands** page and select **Delete**. 2. If products are currently assigned to the brand, select an option in the reassignment dialog: - **Reassign to another brand:** Choose a replacement brand from the dropdown menu. - **Clear brand from these products:** Remove the brand reference entirely, leaving products without an assigned brand. 3. Review the outcome and click **Confirm** to permanently delete the brand. ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2026-04-56-12-4856-PM.png?width=670&height=257&name=image-png-Jul-22-2026-04-56-12-4856-PM.png) --- ### Managing Company Vendors The **Company Vendors** page lists all vendor partners with columns for vendor name, license number, phone, email, and active status. ##### **How to Create a Vendor** 1. Navigate to **Products \> Vendors** and click **New Vendor**. 2. Complete the vendor profile fields: - **Vendor Name:** Enter the business name *(Required)*. - **License Number:** Enter the state/local license number. - **Contact Details:** Fill in **Contact Name**, **Phone**, **Email**, and **Website**. - **Address & Notes:** Add the primary physical address and internal **Notes**. - **Visibility:** Set to **Active** or **Inactive**. 3. Click **Create Vendor**.  **NOTE:** Every product requires at least one assigned vendor. The first vendor added to a product is automatically designated as its primary vendor.  ##### **How to Delete a Vendor** 1. Locate the vendor on the **Company Vendors** page and select **Delete**. 2. Review product reassignment rules before confirming: - **Primary Vendor:** Products that list this vendor as primary must be reassigned to a new vendor. - **Secondary Vendor:** If the vendor is listed as a secondary vendor on a product, that reference will simply be removed without requiring reassignment. 3. Click **Confirm** to permanently delete the vendor record. --- ### Important Notes - **Immediate Catalog Sync:** Because brands and vendors are company-wide, any updates made here immediately reflect on every product, purchase order, and menu that references them. --- ### Related Articles -
