What is the Supplier alliance?
The “supplier alliance” is a feature ClickPOS introduced to save you time in adding new products into your catalogue by recognised supplier.
We have created a master database where all recognised supplier master product information is stored that can be referenced by yourself when ordering the item for the first time that was never previously stocked.
This will simplify the creating of a new product line and in most cases allow you to not have to navigate away from your order or incoming stock screen
How to add products?
There are 3 main areas where you add you can add Supplier alliance products directly into your product catalogue.
Important Note:
Upon commitment of an item to your catalogue. Pricing is imported based on the information provided to ClickPOS by the supplier itself and may not be accurate.
Please verify and update in your catalogue where necessary.
