### FAQ
#### Why do you need to fill out vendor information?
Think of Peakflo as your vendor management platform. By making sure that your vendor contacts have the right details, you can cut the time for [creating a purchase quote](https://help.peakflo.co/how-to-create-and-approve-purchase-quotes?hsLang=en) or a bill.
This is because Peakflo will help pre-fill the information in the purchase quote or the bill based on the vendor details you've added. Some examples include the workflow and the CoA assigned to the vendor as well as their payment information.
