Suppliers: who actually delivers
You sell the trip. Somebody else usually drives the bus, guides the walk or cooks the dinner. Those are your suppliers.
A customer books a Prague walking tour from you. A licensed local guide actually walks them round the castle.
That guide is a supplier. So is the hotel, the coach company and the restaurant.
Click Distribution, then Suppliers.
Reading the list
- Name is the company.
- Type is what they provide, such as Guide, Transfer, Restaurant or Experience.
- Status is Active or otherwise. Only active suppliers should be used on new bookings.
- Country and Currency matter for paying them.
Use the search box and Filters to narrow a long list.
Why keep them here
Once a supplier exists, you can attach the contract you signed, the services they provide, the rates you agreed, and their contact details.
That means when a booking needs confirming at four on a Friday, the phone number and the agreed price are in the same place as the booking rather than in somebody's inbox.
Suppliers and bookings
Each booking has a Suppliers tab recording what you have confirmed with whom, and at what cost. That cost is what makes the margin figures on a booking mean anything.
