One record per supplier
Supplier information usually lives across messages, invoices and memory. A single record holds contact details, what they supply, what is open with them and what has been received.
- Materials and products supplied
- Purchase history and purchase value
- Open purchase orders and outstanding quantities
- On-time delivery record from GRN data
Follow-ups based on facts
Outstanding quantities come from purchase orders and goods received notes, so a follow-up call starts from what is actually pending rather than an estimate.
Connected to purchasing and inventory
Because suppliers, purchase orders, GRN and inventory share the same records, a delayed delivery is immediately visible as incoming stock that has not arrived.
