Suppliers, purchasing & stock
Know your margin, and who's cheapest, on every part.
Import the price list each supplier sends you. FireFlow shows your cost, sell price and margin side by side, flags when someone else sells it for less, and turns it all into purchase orders linked to your jobs.

Supplier price lists
Every supplier's prices next to yours.
Each supplier has its contacts, your trade account number, payment terms and what they supply. Their price list sits right alongside.
- 1Your cost, with price changesRed or green arrows show what moved at the last import.
- 2Your sell price and marginWhen the part is on your own price list. Margins under 20% are highlighted.
- 3Cheaper elsewhereFlags when another supplier sells the same code for less.
- 4Add to price listCopy a supplier item onto your own price list at the markup you choose.
- 5Import price listUpload the CSV they send you.
- 6Put on holdStops new orders being placed with that supplier.
Import
Next year's price list? Just import it again.
Upload the CSV a supplier sends. FireFlow matches the columns automatically, and because items are matched on product code, re-importing updates prices instead of creating duplicates.
- Product code, description and cost required; list price, unit and category optional
- Optionally update the cost price on your own price list too
- Your sell prices are never changed
- A summary of new items, price rises, price drops and skipped rows

Compare supplier prices
One search across every supplier.
