Garage Software for Parts Ordering & Supplier Management
GDS gives you a clear way to manage suppliers, parts ordering and purchase tracking, without relying on memory, notes, or separate spreadsheets.
You can see what you buy, who you buy it from, and what’s happening with parts on every job.

How does Supplier Management work in GDS?

Supplier Profiles
Store each supplier in GDS with the details your team needs day-to-day.
Contact info, account references, delivery notes, and anything that helps the front desk order faster and cleaner.
No more scrambling for details when you’re mid-job.

Link Parts to Suppliers
Connect parts to the supplier you normally source them from, so ordering is quicker and more consistent.
It helps the team choose the right source first time, rather than bouncing between options.
That means fewer delays and fewer “who did we get this from?” moments.

Purchase Orders and Purchase Invoices
Track POs and purchase invoices against each supplier so you can see what’s been ordered, what’s landed, and what needs reconciling.
It creates a proper paper trail without extra admin.
And it makes it easier to spot issues before they become disputes.

Purchase History and Spend Visibility
See purchase history by supplier so you can understand buying patterns and costs over time.
Useful for negotiating, supplier reviews, and keeping tighter control on parts margin.
It gives you clarity without needing to dig through old emails.

Parts Status and Job Allocation
Track parts status against jobs so the whole team can see what’s ordered, what’s arrived, and what’s holding the job up.
Allocate parts cleanly to the job sheet so labour and parts stay aligned, and nothing gets missed at invoice stage.
Less confusion. Fewer delays. Better throughput.

Default and Restricted Suppliers
Set preferred suppliers for consistency, and restrict suppliers where needed.
That keeps purchasing under control, protects margins, and helps standardise how the team orders across the workshop.
