Every one of these is a real question asked during four weeks of early use across three properties. Ask in a sentence. The answer comes back in the assistant you already have open. ANSWER · 3 SOURCES ### Ask in a sentence Anyone on your team asks in plain language, signed in as themselves. No export, no ticket, no waiting on someone who knows the report. ### Answers carry their sources Every figure comes back with the orders, receiving notes and invoices behind it, so it can be checked rather than trusted. InvoicesOrdersRecipesCataloguesFIFTY TOOLS CONNECTED ### One connector, the whole path Requests, orders, receiving, invoices, stock, recipes and catalogues answer together, under the permissions that person already has. FORECASTpred +164% ### What the trend is doing Spend and commitments read forward, not just back, so the question is what to do next rather than what happened. Guardrails ## It can read. It can draft. It cannot act for you. Every session is a real PurchasePlus user, not a shared service account. The assistant sees exactly what that person can already see, and nothing more. Tools they are not entitled to are never offered. ### Read Always Anything that person can already open in PurchasePlus. * Purchase requests, orders, receiving notes * Invoices, credit notes, statements * Stock on hand, stocktakes, transfers * Recipes and their current cost * Supplier catalogues and prices * Any report they can already run ### Draft Reviewed Created as a draft and left open. Nothing is submitted. * Create or update a purchase request * Add lines, or reorder into a new draft * Add a product to a buy list * Create a buy list from an invoice * Add an ingredient to a recipe * Create suppliers from a list * Create a catalogue from an invoice * Export a report and take the link ### Decide You Never the assistant. There is no setting that changes this. * Approving a request, invoice or credit note * Sending or placing a purchase order * Deleting a record * Deactivating a supplier * Completing a stock transfer "The guardrails are right. Because approving, sending, deleting and deactivating stay with a person, we never worried the connector could do something irreversible." André Bosman (FC), Crocombe Hotels From four weeks of early use ## Real questions, real money found. A resort group, three properties, about twenty working sessions. Supplier names, product names and exact figures are removed. 01Before you pay ### A price typed at ten times the real price One supplier had a pile of invoices and finance wanted to know if anything was wrong before the money went out. They caught a price entered at **ten times** the real one, and a bill that may have been paid twice. "This is saving real dollars." 02Across the group ### The morning that used to go on exports Finance wanted one picture of what was still open across three properties and three currencies. "I used to spend a morning on exports for that picture. Now it is one conversation, so I can spend that time on the exceptions." 03Matching ### Why is this invoice blocked? A milk invoice was blocked and the block did not explain itself. The milk had been counted as **single units instead of cartons**. Minutes instead of an hour-long hunt, and fixed on the spot. 04Suppliers ### Who is actually cheaper, once freight is in The same seafood line came from several suppliers, and the invoice price was not the full story until freight was added. On one line the cheaper name changed, worth a **five-figure** difference a year. 0 purchaser tools on the production connector The whole purchaser path, plus everything around it. A user who is not entitled to drafts, inventory, recipes or report export simply sees fewer.
