Adding vendors to multiple companies

SOLVED

We  have a client with over 50 companies and they have common vendors. When a new vendor is added, we would like to be able to add this vendor to multiple companies. The companies are setup in a way that most all vendor setup data  is common among the companies.  exporting and importing the vendor can be done but is still tedious for 50  + entities.   Is there a tool  or utility that has the ability to add a vendor across multiple companies?
