Adding Customers, Leads & Customer Groups

Customers, Leads and Customer Groups makes it easy to organise and manage your customers. Centralise your customers in Supply'd.

Adding customers to Supply’d is a key step in setting up your sales workflow. Whether you're managing wholesale accounts, retail clients, potential customers (leads) or custom groups, Supply’d makes it easy to create and organise customer profiles. You can input essential details such as contact information, pricing tiers, delivery preferences, and payment terms, ensuring a smooth ordering process tailored to each customer’s needs.

There are 2 ways to add customers to Supply'd.

  1. Manually add customers to Supply'd.

Customer Group Pricing

Customer Group Pricing in Supply’d allows you to set specific pricing for groups of customers rather than individual accounts. By assigning a customer to a group (e.g., wholesale, retail, VIP), the system automatically applies the group’s pricing rules to their orders. This makes it easier to manage discounts, special rates, or tiered pricing for multiple customers at once, ensuring consistent and efficient pricing management.

The Pricing tab shows any special pricing or discounts applied to the customer group. You can also set new group pricing here.
