Make supplier management easy
Whether you’re in the building industry, plumbing, timber or electrical industry, supplier management is a crucial part of any business. In fact, you can set up your supplier agreements all within Frameworks. A strong supplier management system has a range of benefits:
Data moves seamlessly between Frameworks, suppliers and buying group systems.
You can rely on the EPR system to ensure a smooth, continuous flow of goods from supply to the customer’s hands.
You can alert your staff if they are ordering outside your preset boundaries, incurring additional costs.
Ease of use for your employees, whether that’s purchasing agents, inventory planners, warehouse managers or senior supply chain leaders. Your operations team can count on the accurate and detailed data stored in Frameworks.
You can optimise inventory levels, prioritise orders, deliver shipments on time, avoid supply chain disruptions and identify inefficient processes.
Supplier management with everything you need and nothing you don’t
Every business needs a supplier management system they can rely on. Here’s what Frameworks allows you to do.
With the Frameworks Supplier Management solution, every product can have one or more suppliers recorded against it… each with their own product identifiers and cost, freight and rebate structures. Purchase orders will identify the relevant pricing based on the product and supplier combination.
Buying group and supplier catalogues are built into the system through the Electronic Product Catalogue system. This supplier management feature imports and retains the supplier pricing files, keeping them separate from your ranged product set. This can be used for periodic updates and special item creation.
Frameworks’ clever data structuring means it can handle hundreds of thousands of product lines, in one or many branches. Different outlets can run off more than one cost system – allowing for multiple UOMs and suppliers but ensuring one SKU. Integrating with buying groups’ systems and importing price books is easy.

EDI is the process of sending and receiving electronic documents. While it’s known to reduce errors and improve efficiency, it is often a complex process. There is no universal standard for Business to Business (B2B) communication, so it is important that data is managed in universal formats understood by both the sender and the receiver. Frameworks has an open system to support the transfer of documents between key suppliers and buying groups, in a format to suit both systems. Purchase orders, order confirmations, advance shipping notices and invoices can all be shared electronically through APIs and value added network providers, or through traditional file transport protocols.
