What is a ‘flow’?This is a process manager that we use to create and maintain milestones to provide structure to the early stages of your engagements. Once connected with your chosen suppliers this becomes much more open. What if I want to go back a step in the flow, or feel I’ve made the wrong choice in initial suppliers for connection? Contact us here. We can make any amendments required to help you find the data, platforms, or information you’re looking for.

How can I upload a file?There are two options either: Click the three dots at the top of any chat and click fill -> Add. Click the plus button on the left of the chat box and click file.

What’s a to-do?This is a simple tool to remove any ambiguity on action points for both parties. It allows you to set a task/objective and milestone for completion. For example, if you’re awaiting a sample from a supplier, you can set the to-do and the date. A reminder will be sent to the recipient of the to-do when it’s set up, and prior to the date chosen.
-
What is an approval?Like the to-do, the approval tool is designed to remove those confusing moments in which parties aren’t sure if an element of the discussion has been agreed. For example, if a supplier has proposed a work-around to a specific challenge, they can set an approval to ensure that you’re happy/accept the proposed solution before moving ahead with a quotation.
