Business Procurement
Manny handles buying for your business — suppliers, stock, equipment, services — gets quotes, compares vendors, and tracks the order until it lands.
Business procurement is the B2B counterpart to your personal grocery and service skills — for sourcing stock, raw materials, equipment, cleaning supplies, recurring orders, anything the shop needs. Manny pulls three or four quotes from your usual suppliers and the ManyHands business directory, shows them side by side with 15% VAT-inclusive totals, delivery windows and payment terms, and places the order on your tap with the tax invoice filed for input VAT. You can ask Manny things like: "200 long-stem red roses, Friday delivery, under R3,000 net of VAT." "Quote three printer-toner suppliers for the office — HP LaserJet, cheapest delivered." "Reorder the usual cleaning bundle from Bidvest — same as last month." "Set up a weekly Flora Wholesale flower order every Tuesday — quiet check-in if anything changes." "Get me a quote on a second espresso machine for the Sea Point shop — under R45k including delivery." This skill is useful when you'd rather grow the shop than chase three suppliers for the same quote — Manny runs the procurement loop, you sign off, and the invoice files itself.
