Managing suppliers

Suppliers

Suppliers capture who you source hardware and services from, with contact details you can reach when you need support or a re-order. They're managed under Settings → Asset Register.

Adding a supplier

  1. Go to Settings → Asset Register and find the Suppliers section.
  2. Select Add supplier.
  3. Enter the Name (required), and optionally a Description, Address, and Website.
  4. Add contacts — each with a name (required) plus optional role, phone, and email. Add as many as you need.
  5. Save.

Each supplier row shows how many assets reference it and how many contacts it has.

Using a supplier on an asset

When adding or editing an asset, pick the supplier from the dropdown. On the asset's detail page, the supplier appears in the purchase information, with a popover showing its description and contacts — so support numbers are one click away.

Suppliers can also be linked from a license.

Editing and deleting

Edit a supplier to update its details or manage its contacts. Deleting a supplier clears it from any assets that referenced it (the assets themselves are kept).

Notes & tips

  • Add a support contact (role, phone, email) to each supplier so on-call staff can reach them straight from the asset.
  • Suppliers are shared across the register — set them up once and reuse them on every asset and license.
