We are integrating our purchase order system with vendors/suppliers to make the process easier. Currently we are working with Quality Bicycle Products, Hawley, and Specialized Bicycles but we are ready to add more vendors.

With vendor integration you can

• Make sure MerchantOS catalog search is always up-to-date with your vendor’s catalog.
• Check item availability from the vendor within a MerchantOS purchase order. So you can find out if the items you are about to order are actually available.
• Instantly transfer a PO you create within MerchantOS to a vendor’s web ordering system so you don’t have to enter your order twice.
• Synchronize invoices from your vendor into a MerchantOS purchase order. When you receive your items pick your invoice from a drop down and it will fill in the MerchantOS PO (or synchronize and existing PO) so you can immediately start checking items in.
• Have your items pre-labeled by the vendor with your description, barcode, and price.

Note: Vendors/suppliers/manufacturers will offer different levels of integration. The list above is full-all-features integration. Your vendor may not have all these functions available, but we will integrate with whatever functionality is available from your vendor.

What to do to get your vendor integrated into MerchantOS

Contact your vendor and try to get in touch with someone in the IT department who is in charge of integrations with POS systems (or the person who would start that initiative for the vendor). Ask that person to get in contact with us. They can call me (Justin) at 866-554-2453 x 92 or use our contact form to send us a message.
