FAQ

Can I use multiple vendors?

Yes. Each item is mapped to a preferred vendor. The agent routes POs to the right supplier.

How do I set up the inventory tracker?

We build the tracker in Google Sheets during setup. You provide your item list, minimum levels, and vendor contacts.

Can employees request specific items?

Yes. A Google Form lets staff submit requests. Items above a set value need manager approval.
