I suggest you make a unique group for this vendor, and make a user id that is the sole member of this group.
Normal UNIX security should do the rest.

unable to read/navigate/view other directories
I think you will have problems with this as a requirement.
If another directory says "other-read" then this user will be able to read from them, similarly, if any other directory (such as /tmp) is "other-write" then this user will be able to write to that directory.

pure-quotacheck create a .ftpquota file in the specified directory.
This file contains the current file and size of the directory, and it is used by Pure-FTPd when virtual quotas are enabled.

OPTIONS
-d <directory>

-u <user or uid>
Set the user name files will be scanned as. This is mandatory, and it can't be "root".

pure-quotacheck -u john -d /home/john
AUTHORS
Frank DENIS <j at pureftpd dot org>
SECURITY
pure-quotacheck switches real and effective uids/gids as soon as possible. Root privileges are never given back.
pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
