Turn vendor calls into firm commitments

Suppliers confirm dates in writing, so you stop chasing them on the phone.

What this costs while it stays invisible.

  • Buying happens on calls and WhatsApp. No proof when a date is missed.
  • You cannot tell if the vendor has even seen your urgent order.
  • Suppliers change dates by phone, and your booked machines sit with no material.
  • Certificates and challans come with the driver and get lost before inspection.
  • Outside vendors like coaters or binders cannot see what is coming, so work drags.

What changes when the floor can be trusted.

  • Requests and POs go straight into the supplier's portal, not a busy inbox.
  • Suppliers accept the order and commit to a dispatch date on record.
  • If a vendor changes a date, planners see it at once.
  • Suppliers upload certificates and e-way bills against the PO before dispatch.
  • Vendors log the docket, driver and vehicle number. No calls to track the truck.
  • Each supplier sees only their own POs. Never your other vendors, margins or customers.

Questions you should ask before buying any system.

Can a vendor see our customer orders, margins or other suppliers?

Never. A supplier sees only the POs and requests sent to them. Not your customers, sales orders, costs or other vendors.

What is the difference between a material request and a purchase order?

A material request is a quick internal note that the floor needs material, with no price. A purchase order is an approved deal with rates, taxes, payment terms and dates.

Do vendors need to buy licenses or install software?

No. The portal runs in a browser and is free for your vendors. They sign in with a one-click link. No setup.

You should not need to spend your life walking the floor to discover the truth.

Bring us one problematic production order, one chronic bottleneck, or one metric nobody trusts. In thirty minutes, we will show you how Prodman restores order and calm, without asking your machine operators to become clerical typists.
