Manage suppliers

Keep a directory of who you buy from, with lead times, and link suppliers to the products they provide.

Suppliers are the vendors you buy retail stock from. Keeping them in Randvu means purchase orders, reorder suggestions, and product records all point at the same source. Open Suppliers from the Inventory section of the sidebar.

The supplier directory

Suppliers are shown as a card list. Each supplier holds the details you need to order and chase stock — contact information and the typical lead time (how many days from order to delivery), which feeds reorder timing.

Add or edit a supplier

The supplier form is a two-column layout with a breadcrumb header so you always know where you are.

  1. Enter the basics

    Add the supplier's name and contact details.

  2. Set the lead time

    Record the lead-time days so reorder suggestions account for how long delivery takes.

  3. Save

    The supplier is now available to assign to products and to select on a purchase order.

Linking suppliers to products

On a product, set its supplier (and brand). That link is what lets the reorder dashboard group low-stock items by who you'd order them from, and pre-fill a purchase order for that supplier.
