How suppliers help with stock ordering

Supplier records can help you prepare stock orders faster. When stock items are linked to suppliers, Bizwazi can show which suppliers are connected to low-stock items and which suppliers have the most stock activity.

How suppliers help with ordering

• They show which supplier provides each stock item.
• They help you find low-stock suppliers.
• They help you identify top linked suppliers.
• They show stock cost value and retail value connected to a supplier.
• They can store supplier phone numbers and notes for faster reordering.

What to check before ordering

• Open Suppliers.
• Review Low-stock suppliers.
• Open the supplier or inventory item.
• Check current stock and low-stock alert level.
• Check recent movement and sales if needed.
• Check supplier notes for delivery days, minimum order, or payment terms.

How this avoids problems

• You are less likely to forget popular items.
• You can avoid emergency buying at higher prices.
• You can order from the right supplier faster.
• You can reduce missed sales from out-of-stock items.

Example

• If cooking oil is low and linked to Mombasa Wholesale Suppliers, the shop owner can quickly see who supplies it, check supplier contact details, and place an order before the item runs out.
