Step 1 · Visibility

Material spend should not disappear after the receipt

When material costs sit far from invoices, margin gets blurry. Keep supplier records near the work that created the purchase.

  • Supplier name
  • Receipt
  • Order status
  • Related job
Step 2 · Purchase status

Use order status to keep purchases moving

Use order status to see what was requested, ordered, received, paid, or cancelled without opening every supplier one by one.

  • Open
  • Ordered
  • Received
  • Paid
  • Cancelled

Is supplier tracking only for large businesses?

No. Even solo owners benefit when paint, parts, rentals, and receipts stay connected to the work.
