# Managing a Customer
Supply'd embeds CRM technology to allow you to manage all your customers in one place. Assign contacts, locations, pricing and pantry lists, track orders, sales call logs, credits and more.
Supply’d includes powerful Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools that make it easy to handle all your customer information in one central place. You can assign key contacts, set up multiple locations, and customise pricing or pantry lists for each customer. The CRM also lets you track order history, monitor sales call activity, and manage credits or account balances - all within the same system. This helps you build stronger relationships, streamline communication, and get a complete overview of each customer’s activity and performance with your business.
