Procurement Management: Suppliers & Installers

Updated this week

Every item on a project needs to be sourced from somewhere and installed by someone. efficiently gives you a structured way to manage this from the top down — set your defaults once at the organisation level, override them at the project level, and manage the detail at the item level. The result is a clean, accurate procurement picture across every project.


Set Your Organisation Defaults

Navigate to Admin Console → Org Settings

  • Set default suppliers and installers at a division level (e.g. plumbing, furniture)

  • Defaults automatically apply to every new project you create

  • They do not apply retroactively to existing projects


Override at the Project Level

Navigate to Project Settings → Default Suppliers

  • Your org defaults are pre-populated

  • Change them for any project that uses different suppliers or installers


Manage at the Item Level

Select any item in the Item Schedule → Supplier & Installer tab

  • Change or remove the supplier for any item

  • Change or remove the installer for any item

  • Set the procurement type (e.g. Contractor Furnished / Contractor Installed)

  • Dependent items can have their own separate supplier while sharing the same installer as the parent item
