Enrolling new vendors through email means collecting company information inconsistently, chasing missing details, and manually transferring data into whatever system holds the vendor list. Each new vendor application is a slightly different conversation with a slightly different outcome — and the vendor list reflects that inconsistency.
The Vendor Application Form template for SharePoint, built with Infowise Ultimate Forms, gives potential vendors a structured application form they can complete directly — either through your external website or via a shared link — with every submission landing in a centralized SharePoint vendor list, complete and consistently formatted.
How it works
The application form
Potential vendors complete a structured form capturing the information required to enroll them in your vendor list. The default configuration covers the most common requirements: company name, address, contact person details, payment options, and tax information. Every submission follows the same format, ensuring the data captured is consistent and complete across all vendor applications.
External accessibility
Using the Ultimate Forms External Form feature, the application form can be embedded directly on your public-facing website or shared as a standalone link. Vendors can complete and submit their application without a SharePoint account or access to your internal environment, making the onboarding process straightforward for them and removing the need for manual data collection on your side.
A centralized vendor list
Every completed application lands directly in a standard SharePoint list as a structured record. Your procurement or finance team has a single, searchable view of all vendor applications — pending, approved, or declined — with all the information captured at submission organized in consistent columns. No manual data entry, no inbox to monitor, no spreadsheet to update.
Customizable to your requirements
The template ships with the most common vendor information columns pre-configured. Additional columns can be added to capture anything specific to your procurement process — certifications, insurance details, product categories, or compliance documentation — without any development work.

Built on standard SharePoint lists
The Vendor Application Form system is built entirely on standard SharePoint lists. There is no external data storage and no custom interface. All vendor application data stays inside your SharePoint environment, governed by your existing permissions and data policies. The system can be extended or adapted at any time in the browser by the administrator who manages the site.
