Vendors and subcontractors

One record per supplier, with the trades they do and the terms you agreed.

In this lesson

One register for every supplier

Hoda looks after every supplier and subcontractor the studio uses. The vendor register keeps one record per company, in one place, instead of scattered across business cards and phone contacts.

Each row carries the trade that company does, and a rating earned from the jobs already done. Cairo Terrazzo does floors and stone; Heliopolis Timber Works does joinery. They are not interchangeable.

Open a vendor and you see the trade, the contact, and how they have been rated over time. That history is what tells you whether to hand them the next order.

Onboarding a new supplier takes a minute: a name, the trade, and a contact. Done once, the next purchase order picks them from a list instead of retyping the detail.

The new supplier now sits on the register, ready for the first order. Nothing about it is locked — the rating fills in as jobs are delivered and reviewed.

The habit that matters

The habit: one record per supplier, with the terms you actually agreed. A price agreed only on the phone is a price nobody can find later.
