> Manage vendors and suppliers for lab purchasing

## Overview

Sources represent the vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers from whom your lab purchases products and equipment. Maintaining a source database streamlines ordering, tracks vendor performance, and ensures consistency in product specifications.

* Store contact details, websites, account numbers, and preferred ordering methods
* Link products to sources with catalog numbers for easy reordering
* View order history and spending by vendor to track delivery performance
* Track internally prepared materials (e.g., in-house buffers) alongside commercial vendors
* Monitor vendor reliability and product quality over time
