Purchasing

From accepted estimate
to purchase in three steps

Open the request and the customer, vehicle and appointment are already there. Pick from suppliers with stock, lead time and price side by side, choose the warehouse it should go to and confirm. One order per supplier is created and the appointment stays put.

  • Requests arrive by themselves from the Marketplace, estimates, work orders and the web.
  • Compare suppliers on stock, lead time and price, and swap the product if it is out.
  • Choose the destination warehouse for the whole order before buying.
  • Before accepting you see the total including tax and what happens to the appointment.

Receiving

The parts arrive
and the car gets going

Mark OK what arrives in good shape, upload the supplier’s delivery note and invoice, and the order closes itself. The units go into your stock and the appointment or work order that was waiting is released.

  • Receive line by line or all at once; if only part arrives, the order stays partial.
  • Delivery note and invoice attached to the order, and one invoice for several orders when that is how it comes.
  • What you receive goes into stock in the warehouse you chose.
  • Start the day with the orders blocking a work order: they have a car waiting.

Issues and returns

If it arrives wrong,
the message is ready

Mark the line KO, choose what happened and what you need —return, replacement, credit or warranty— and attach a photo. Cafler drafts the message to the supplier with the order, the product and the reason, and every contact is logged in the case.

  • The product photo goes with the issue: it is the proof the supplier will ask for.
  • The message comes ready to send by email, phone or WhatsApp.
  • The next action is worked out for you from the reason and the case status.
  • The timeline keeps who opened the case, every contact and every change.

Questions about orders

From anywhere in the platform that needs parts: an accepted estimate, a work order, a Marketplace purchase or a web order. They land in Purchasing with their customer, vehicle and appointment, with nothing to type. You can also buy to restock, with no customer attached.
Yes. In the parts step you see each supplier with its stock, lead time and price, and switch to whichever you prefer. If a product is unavailable, search for a substitute and Cafler shows how cost and margin change before you confirm.
Receive what has arrived and the order stays as partial in the Receiving inbox until the rest comes in. What you received is already in stock.
Until the parts arrive, the appointment or work order that needs them shows as waiting for parts, and you can filter the orders blocking it. Once received, it is released and the workshop can start.
Cafler drafts the message with the order, product, quantity and reason. You review it, send it through the channel you use with that supplier —email, phone, WhatsApp, web or SMS— and mark it as contacted so it is logged.
Yes. From Shipments you create a transfer between warehouses with the product, quantity, destination and date. If the destination is another site in your network on Cafler, the shipment stays pending until they mark it received.
