# Track what suppliers charge

## Suppliers are their own list

**Suppliers** is a page of its own in the left navigation, separate from your customers. A supplier is a company with its own record and its own contacts, so the rep you ring and the branch you buy from live with the supplier rather than in your customer list.

## Prices with history

Against a supplier you track **products** and what they charge for them. A price is not a single number that gets overwritten: every change is kept with its date, so a rise is something you can see coming rather than something you discover on an invoice.

## Compare across suppliers

Open a product and you get the full-screen view: **every supplier who sells it, on one chart**, alongside a filterable table. When two suppliers carry the same material, the chart is the answer to who has been creeping up.

## Supplier prices in your quote

While building an estimate or invoice, you can pull a supplier's current price straight into the line you are writing, so the number in your quote is the number you will actually pay.

## Who sees this

Supplier prices are **costs**, and costs follow the money rules: owners and admins see them, team members and subcontractors do not. See [what each role can see](/team-and-permissions/what-each-role-can-see).
