The vendor produces the durable artifacts — the survey, the Phase I, the zoning report. These outlive the deal that ordered them and describe the land itself. See what the network connects →

What it does

Everything in the Vendor Portal

Orders from every file and every agency in one place, delivered back to the right file the first time.

Your order inbox

Scoped to you, across every file.

Cross-file order inbox

Every order assigned to you, on every file, split into open and history. Scoped by your vendor identity rather than by file, so nothing gets lost across matters.

Structured scope, not an email thread

Each order arrives with order number, property address, service type, due date, instructions and reference documents — so you know exactly what is being asked before you commit.

Accept, decline or start in one tap

Respond from the inbox. The agency's diligence item updates in lockstep and the person who ordered it is emailed automatically.

Delivering the work

Straight onto the right file, with a status that matches the agency's.

Deliver work product to the file

Drag and drop a PDF or image up to 25 MB. It lands on the correct file as staff-only work product and emails whoever ordered it. No more “which file was this for?”

A real lifecycle, not a status guess

Placed, accepted, in progress, delivered, revision requested, completed — with declined and cancelled as terminals. Illegal jumps cannot be skipped or reversed by accident.

Revision requests come back in-channel

When the agency asks for a revision the order reopens in your inbox, flagged, and you upload the corrected deliverable against the same order.

Your delivery moves the deal

Uploading advances the agency's diligence item and its title-readiness status immediately — the work is visibly load-bearing, not a PDF sitting in an inbox.

Your business

Your own numbers, never a public league table.

Per-order messaging

A message panel on every order for access, scope and timing questions. Replies appear in-thread and are emailed to you.

You versus the market

Your own average turnaround against an anonymous market average, shown only once enough agencies and files sit behind it. Your own numbers always show.

Market pulse

Deal velocity, local economy, CPI and rate tiles, so you can see the market you are quoting into.

Agency co-branding

The portal resolves the agency by hostname and paints their name and logo, so orders always show who they came from.

On the roadmap

Roadmap

Engine work exists; the vendor-facing surface does not yet.

Credential vault

License, E&O, certificate of insurance, W-9 and surety bond with expiry tracking and automatic re-request before lapse — so an expired certificate never quietly costs you assignments.

Vendor scorecard

Your turnaround and performance shown back to you, never as a public ranking against named competitors.

Invoicing, payment status and propose-a-date

Payments run entirely off the escrow account by design, and are gated on counsel sign-off.

Pricing

What the Vendor Portal costs

Access to the platform is free — free to join and free to use. Placement on a panel is never for sale under any fee model; pay-for-placement would corrupt the scorecard the whole thing runs on.

Why vendors pay nothing

The portal exists to serve the agency's vendor-oversight obligation and to make the diligence turnaround measurable. Charging the vendor would corrupt the scorecard that makes it worth measuring.

Where this sits in the market

The dominant title marketplace is residential-shaped — tax search, payoffs, HOA, notary — with no environmental, zoning or ALTA-survey categories at all. The lender-side alternatives are not connected to title readiness.

Prices are published list rates in US dollars; a signed order form governs. Premium features are not billed before 2027, and free access is not time-limited. Premium, endorsement and recording figures quoted anywhere in the product are computed from the filed rate schedule for the state the property sits in, and are estimates until the commitment issues.

Security & access

You see your own work, and nothing else

Each portal is a separate program with its own login. What you cannot reach, you cannot reach because it was never sent to your computer — not because a setting says no and somebody has to remember to keep it that way.

You are matched to your firm, not to files

Your login is tied to your company. Orders come to you; you never get access to a file, and there is no list of files to browse.

You get a short, fixed list

Order number, property address, service type, due date, instructions, reference documents, status and the date it was placed. That is the list.

What is never on it

Buyer and seller names, loan amounts, wire accounts and disbursements. Tests feed the system a complete file and check that every one of those is missing from what you receive.

Three separate protections, not one

The short list, a closed door on the order records themselves, and a vendor app that contains no staff or file screens. A mistake in any one of them does not open the others.

Your work stays confidential until reviewed

What you deliver is stored for the agency's eyes first, so a draft is not exposed to other parties before anyone has read it.

Sign-in can need your phone

As well as a password, sign-in can require a code from an authenticator app.

Your IT team will want more than this

Identity model, authorization, data classification, retention, transport, and how these rules are enforced on every build.

The tech details for your IT team
Get started

Invited onto an agency's vetted panel

Surveyors, environmental consultants, appraisers, zoning and search vendors. Registration and sign-in for this portal live on its own host, vendor.crerail.ai — separate from every other portal.

You are added to the vendor registry

An agency puts you on panel for the services you cover. Orders pick a named vendor from that registry, filtered by service type — there is no auto-routing pool.

Set your password

The invite email carries a set-password link. Enrol an authenticator app if the agency requires one.

Work the inbox

Open orders on one side, history on the other, across every agency that has you on panel.
