Why Fiddle

Buying that works the way you do

From the first line item to the final receipt, Fiddle takes the busywork out of procurement.

Order with confidence

Build a PO in seconds while Fiddle shows you live stock levels and what's already on order. No more guesswork, double-ordering, or surprise stockouts mid-production.

End the email tag

Share orders with suppliers and keep the whole conversation in one place. Confirmations, changes, and updates live on the PO itself — not buried in someone's inbox.

Pricing that flexes

Set default costs per supplier, apply discounts, and adjust pricing line-by-line right on the order. Your negotiated rates carry through automatically.

One home for the paperwork

Attach quotes, invoices, certificates of analysis, and shipping docs straight to the order. Everything stays with the PO, so it's there when you need it.

Know what's arriving, when

Track every order from issued to received, with expected dates and receiving progress at a glance. Spot a slipping delivery before it stalls a production run.

Receive without re-keying

Receive directly against the PO with barcode scanning. Stock, lot numbers, and costs update themselves, and partial shipments are handled cleanly.

FAQ

Purchase order questions, answered

The details teams ask about before they switch.

How quickly can I create a purchase order?

In seconds. As you add items, Fiddle shows live stock levels and what's already on order, so you can build an accurate PO without checking anything elsewhere. If something's missing, Fiddle prompts you to add it.

Can I collaborate with my suppliers in Fiddle?

Yes. Share a purchase order with your supplier and keep the back-and-forth — confirmations, quantity changes, ship dates — attached to the order itself, instead of scattered across email and phone calls.

How does receiving against a PO work?

When a shipment arrives, you receive it directly against the purchase order, including by barcode scan. Fiddle updates on-hand quantities, lot numbers, and costs automatically, and records any discrepancy between ordered and received.

Can I receive a shipment in multiple parts?

Yes. Partial and multi-shipment receipts are handled cleanly — receive what arrived today and the rest later, and the PO keeps an accurate running total of what's still outstanding.

Can I set supplier-specific pricing and discounts?

You can store default costs and lead times per supplier so your negotiated rates flow onto each order automatically. Pricing and discounts can also be adjusted line-by-line on any individual PO.

Can I attach documents to a purchase order?

Absolutely. Attach quotes, invoices, shipping documents, certificates of analysis, and any other files directly to the PO so everything related to that order stays in one place.

Does Fiddle support automated reordering?

Set reorder points on the items you stock, and Fiddle alerts you the moment a level drops below your threshold — so replenishment becomes a quick review rather than a guessing game.

How do purchase orders connect to the rest of Fiddle?

Purchasing isn't a silo. POs tie into inventory, receiving, and your supplier records, so an order placed here updates stock when it's received and feeds the same data your production and fulfillment teams rely on.
