What is the Vendor Match?

Vendor Match is Flat’s built-in directory that connects homeowners with vetted, high-quality service professionals. Providers can use Flat’s trusted network or add their own preferred contractors—so reliable help is always available. Powered by our ProIQ AI, homeowners simply describe their issue (e.g., “my faucet is leaking,” “I need a new roof”). The system analyzes the request and delivers the best local matches based on expertise, reviews, performance, and proximity—making it a fast, intelligent way to find the right pro.

Key Features

Designed to make finding the right contractor simple and effective, Vendor Match combines ProIQ's AI-driven matching with tools for visibility and trust.

  • ProIQ AI Matching: Homeowners describe their problem in plain language (e.g., “my AC isn’t cooling”), and ProIQ instantly recommends top local contractors based on expertise, reviews, and proximity.
  • Customizable Networks: Service providers can integrate their own contractors and monetize inclusion.
  • Featured Placements & Badges: Upsell visibility and trust-building badges like Top Rated or Fully Insured.
  • Contextual Placement: Contractors surface directly within reports and tasks (e.g., HVAC pros appear when an HVAC issue is flagged).
