It is now possible to request purchase prices and to record the submitted purchase prices per supplier in FuelVision365.
Context
Does your (bunker) business work with back-to-back deals?
You can now request purchase prices and record the submitted purchase prices per supplier in FuelVision365. This enables you to perform analyses afterwards and gain insight into which suppliers are most attractive to you. You can now also automatically send an email requesting a price quote to suppliers.
Practical example
A customer calls in with a request for a certain quantity of product X to be bunkered in the port of Hong Kong on day Y. You as a trader then send out this request to suppliers who bunker in the port of Hong Kong.
You record the submitted purchase prices and determine the supplier offering the best price. You calculate your margin and pass the selling price on to your customer, who decides whether to accept your proposal or not based on that price and conditions. Until recently you as a trader could not request and register the prices and conditions you received from your suppliers. As a result, analyses could not be done and you had no insight into which suppliers apply which prices and conditions at what times.
Enriched bunker-extension
The bunker extension (which already includes functionality to store information per port) has been expanded with the following back-to-back functionality:
- Mailing group per port
Each port is linked to a mailing group. This mailing group contains one or more suppliers who bunker in the respective port. - Email
From Business Central emails are sent to the suppliers with relevant data for requesting a purchase price. - Purchase prices
A new overview has been created in which the submitted purchase prices can be quickly and easily recorded. This makes it clear which supplier gives which purchase price and what the best deal is.
Benefits of this extension
- Thanks to this extension you can perform analyses of the prices and conditions per supplier, giving you insight into which suppliers are best for you.
- You save time because you can now automatically send emails to request prices and conditions from your suppliers.
