Head Office Suppliers

The Head Office uses all the general supplier rules and supplier links used by all Point Four programs. These features can be viewed on the Supplier Link page.

Multiple Suppliers

All products on the system can be supplied by more than one wholesaler.

If Wholesaler A supplies half of your stores and Wholesaler B supplies the rest, the system can apply the correct information against each store.

Each product can also have multiple case sizes and order codes, enabling stores to order the size they want.

Supplier Link

The Supplier Link enables product and price information retrieved from the wholesaler to be imported into the existing product file.

Collection of changes can be automated to run at the same time each week and will enable the procedure to be carried out overnight. Alternatively, you can connect to the wholesaler whenever convenient and download the changes. After the information changes have been collected, the information is ready to be imported. The information transmitted can always be sorted and reviewed before importing.

Changes can be sorted by type, enabling particular types of change (e.g. price increases) to be actioned quickly.

Colour coding assists with easy recognition of price changes up and down, margin increases and decreases, de-listed items, promotion lines and new products.

The supplier’s entire PLOF can be put on the system as a background file. Products can be selected and added to the system at any time. The listing is updated whenever you download price changes.
