Managing Suppliers (Supply'd Lite)
Managing suppliers in Supply'd Lite helps you stay organised, streamline ordering, and easily track all your supplier details in one place.
Managing suppliers in Supply’d Lite is simple and efficient. It allows you to keep all your supplier information organised, making it easier to place orders and update details. Whether you're working with existing suppliers or adding new ones, Supply’d Lite gives you the tools to stay in control.
This document will guide you through managing your suppliers, including:
The Suppliers Page
Selecting Suppliers from the main menu will open the Suppliers page, listing all your suppliers.
You may notice that suppliers have colour-coded statuses next to their names:
- A supplier already using Supply’d and selling through the Supply’d Marketplace.
- Refers to a supplier not yet on Supply’d, and that you have manually added to your account.
Clicking on a supplier opens a page showing all their details.
There are six tabs displayed at the top of the page. We will discuss these in detail below.
About
This tab displays key details such as the supplier's ABN, payment terms, website, minimum spend, total number of orders you’ve placed, and the total amount you’ve spent with them.
Invoice inbox
This field is an email inbox automatically created for each supplier. Suppliers use it to send their invoices directly to Supply’d. When an invoice is received, it can be matched with the goods that were delivered - making it much easier and faster to manage and track expenses.
Contacts
The Contacts tab in Supply’d Lite shows all contacts for a supplier, including their names, roles, and contact details like phone numbers and email addresses. It helps you quickly find and communicate with the right person for orders or queries. This tab also allows you to add, remove, or edit contacts, making it easy to keep your supplier contact information up to date.
If the list is long, you can rearrange it by clicking the three lines next to a name and dragging it to your preferred spot.
