How you pay.
We earn a commission inside the orders we handle. There is no per-seat license fee.
A Master Vendor is one company that buys from many suppliers for you. You place every order with Can-e-Buy. We vet the supplier, order from them and pay them. You get one invoice.
No. Can-e-Buy connects to the ERP you already use. Buyers order from your ERP catalog, and invoices and data flow back into it.
Can-e-Buy earns a commission inside the transactions it sources. There is no separate per-seat software fee.
Company details, contacts, a bank account and their documents. Then they add their catalog. We check the documents before the supplier starts trading.
It depends on your categories, sites and ERP connection. We agree a plan and dates during scoping.
