    Example data.

    See it work

    • Add a supplier by dropping in one of their invoices. OPPI reads who they are and what you buy.
    • Each order is sized by the forecast against your pars. Routine orders inside your limits are sent for you. Anything outside them waits for your yes.
    • Intros, price lists, orders, follow-ups and credit requests sit in one thread per supplier.
    • Each supplier's on-time deliveries, shorts, credits owed and price moves are on the record, with a flag when you are charged above the price you agreed.
    • When prices creep, OPPI builds the case from that record and drafts the message. You decide whether it is sent.
    • At the door, each line is checked: short, damaged, to follow.

    You set the limits and you can read every message. Orders go the way your suppliers already take them.

    • A new supplier

      Drop one invoice. The supplier is set up.

      Add a supplier by dropping in one of their invoices. OPPI reads who they are and what you buy from them, and you confirm it. Nobody types a product list off a faxed price sheet.

    • The thread

      One thread per supplier. Nothing lost in texts.

      Intros, price lists, orders, follow-ups and credit requests sit in one thread per supplier. Orders go by email or text, the way each supplier already takes them, so the rep changes nothing on their side.

    • When prices creep

      The record makes the case. You decide.

      Every supplier carries its on-time deliveries, shorts, credits owed and price moves, flagged when you are charged above the price you agreed. When prices creep, OPPI builds the case from that record and drafts the message. You decide whether it goes.

    How it works

    1. Add the supplier

      Drop in one of their invoices and OPPI reads who they are and what you buy.

    2. Size the order

      Each order is sized by the forecast against your pars, drafted before the supplier's cutoff.

    3. Send or hold

      Routine orders inside your limits go by email or text. The rest wait for your yes.

    4. Check the door

      Each line is checked as it comes in: short, damaged or to follow. A short becomes a credit request.

    Questions.

    Do my suppliers need to sign up to anything?
    No. Orders and messages go by email or text, the way your suppliers already take them. There is no portal for them to log into.
    Can it send an order without me?
    Only a routine one inside the limits you set. Anything outside those limits waits for your approval, and you can read every order and message that goes.
    Will it negotiate with my suppliers for me?
    It drafts the case. When prices creep, OPPI writes the message from your record of shorts, credits and price moves. Nothing reaches the supplier until you say so.
