simPRO Update: Supplier quote imports and Middy’s automation

The first simPRO update for Q4 2019 will roll out from October 6. The update reduces the time you spend adding supplier quote pricing, catalogues and invoices into simPRO.

Import supplier quotes

It is now faster to add supplier pricing to customer quotes and jobs. The new feature is based on a popular request in the simPRO customer Ideas Portal and removes the need to manually update the price of items on accepted supplier quotes.

The process for creating a supplier quote remains the same. But when the time comes to email the request, suppliers will now receive a standard formatted CSV file, along with a PDF, to complete and return. Copies of these files can be attached to the Supplier Quote Attachments so they are easy to find later on.

When the updated file is returned, staff can quickly and easily apply the quoted pricing against the supplier quote via a CSV import. They also have the option to associate the supplier with the catalogue items that were featured on the quote.

The pricing shown will be the trade price, so that any one-off discounts provided on the quote are not inadvertently used elsewhere.

Automating Catalogue and Supplier Invoices for Middy’s Data & Electrical

Available within Australia only

Middy’s Data & Electrical customers can now access automatic synchronisation for catalogues and automatic imports for supplier invoices. The change will reduce the time spent on manual imports, and reduce mistakes from data entry.

These automation features have been developed for a number of suppliers across Australia and New Zealand in 2019, and simPRO continues to work on adding more to the list. If you have a suggestion for a supplier you would like included, please let us know in the simPRO Customer Ideas Portal.
