Operate · Suppliers and buying

Your suppliers, and group buying when a real order is open

A working vendor is not a problem. What hurts is buying from whoever called last. Keep the suppliers you trust in one place, and see group orders when one is actually open.

Who it is for

Shops that buy stock, parts or supplies on a regular basis.

What you get

  • Your own supplier list, kept on the desk
  • Live group orders from the shared buying list when one is open
  • A buy sheet for each open group order
  • Buying needs queued from low stock

How it works

  1. Add the suppliers you already buy from.
  2. Check Buy together for open group orders.
  3. Join one if it fits, or keep buying from your own vendors.

What it does not do

If no group order is open, the list is empty. Operate does not invent a catalog or a discount.
