Welcome to InEight’s 10 Days of Feature Favorites! I'm John Upton, VP of Product here at InEight and I am excited to kick off this series.
Over the next 10 days, our InEight team will spotlight some of our favorite features, where to find them, and dive into how they help you streamline workflows, support better decision-making, and strengthen project execution. Each post will end with a question for the Community, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Be sure to check back into the Community each day to see which features made the cut.
I'll lead us into "Day One" with one of my personal favorites.
Feature: Vendor Contract Page
Product: InEight Contract
Where to Find It: User must be assigned to a Vendor and have the Vendor permission>From Vendor View (home page)>Select a Contract from Contracts widget
I love this feature because this functionality allows vendors to directly submit their invoices, payment claims, and supporting documentation (25.11) within the application. It establishes bidirectional in-app communication between the vendor and contractor, eliminating the need for back-and-forth email exchanges. By maintaining a single source of truth for these deliverables, the process minimizes errors commonly introduced through manual imports and exports. With this centralized approach this enables you to have real-time visibility and feedback, reducing the risk of missed communications due to misplaced or filtered emails.
Question for the Community: Which aspects of the vendor–contractor relationship do you think become easier when communication happens directly inside the platform?
