It's important to keep a list of companies frequently involved in providing the goods that your clients' request be moved from origin to destination. Suppliers have a key role when it comes to finalising the shipping process.

Using WebCargo’s supplier creation tool, you can create a directory of your suppliers to apply specific local charge conditions when creating your quotation.

Find out in this article how you can create suppliers for your account. This is only available for Professional and Enterprise customers.

To add your supplier to the system, go to Settings, Local Charges, then select Suppliers from the dropdown menu. Here you’ll see any suppliers that have already been added.

From here the user will see the list of any or all suppliers already entered into the system. Click on the plus symbol to begin adding your supplier.

Once you’ve clicked on the plus symbol, you’ll be prompted with a box to enter the code and Company of your supplier.

Code: this is important if you’re an Enterprise customer, as this code will be the same as what you use internally for the supplier on your system. If you don’t have a code, create one of your choice.

Company: the name of your supplier.

Important: there may be times when an agent/forwarder/user may be the supplier. For example, if an agent has an internal cost for providing a Document service, the agent/forwarder/user may be designated as the supplier providing the service.

Click Save once you’ve entered the code and the company name. The respective company information will now appear within the list of existing suppliers.

You can edit or delete suppliers at any time within the same menu. To edit your supplier, click on the pencil and paper symbol. To delete the supplier completely click on the red rubbish can.
