What's your perspective?

Hello all,

My friend is a small business owner. In her business, getting deliveries on time is crucial. She uses QuickBooks online to raise Purchase Orders and often spends a whole lot of time following up with her suppliers on order status. She often experiences delays in deliveries because of inconsistent responses from her supplier. 

I want to understand if there is any tool/software that you are using, whereby you can track the PO status in real time. I went to the QB marketplace in search of a solution but couldn't find any. 

Are you facing the same issue as hers? If yes, how are you solving the pain point of following up with your suppliers?
