Does it order without asking?

No. It orders only after your yes.

Can it work from a photo of a part?

Yes. Send a photo of a data plate or a fitting and it identifies the part.

Can it build the order from a take-off?

Yes. The Estimator's bill turns into a materials order in one step.

Does it warn me about price rises?

Yes. It flags when a merchant's price has moved since you quoted the job.

Where does the order go in my books?

It's coded to the job in Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, so your job costs stay right.

…stick to one merchant?

You'll get good service and miss a better price at the next counter. The Buyer checks your other accounts on the same list, in the same minute.

…use the merchant's app?

Each app shows one merchant. The Buyer puts them side by side and orders on whichever account you pick.

…leave it to the office?

If there's no office, it's you on the phone at quarter to seven. The Buyer does the ringing round, with the other four assistants included in the price.
