Suppliers

Suppliers in Ghloria represent the providers and partners that support agency operations. The supplier area keeps provider details, supplier types, proposal usage, and supporting files in one operational record.

Supplier List

The Suppliers page gives the workspace a searchable and sortable supplier directory.

The current list supports:

• Search by supplier text.
• Filter by supplier type.
• Sort by supplier name, type, imported document count, creation date, and update date.
• Open a supplier detail page from the table.
• Create a new supplier.

The table shows name, type, website, imported document count, created date, and updated date. Supplier names include logos when available.

Supplier Types

Supplier types are loaded from the supplier type endpoint and normalized in the interface. Ghloria supports a broad supplier taxonomy, including airlines, accommodations, activity providers, cruise lines, destination management companies, ground transport, hotels, insurance, local providers, GDS, NDC, rail operators, restaurants, technology providers, tour operators, transfer operators, visa services, and wholesalers.

When a type is typed or returned in a different format, the app normalizes known aliases into the stored type value. This keeps supplier data structured while still accepting practical input.

Creating a Supplier

Use New Supplier to add a supplier record.

The current creation form supports:

• Supplier name
• Website
• Supplier type

Name is required. Website is optional. Supplier type defaults to a local provider when no more specific type is selected.

Supplier Profile

Each supplier has a detail page with editable provider information.

You can update:

• Name
• Email
• Phone
• Website
• Type
• Logo

Website links are normalized for opening in a browser. Supplier logos can be uploaded, replaced, or removed from the profile. Users with manager-level access can delete supplier records.

Proposal History

Supplier detail pages include an expandable proposal section. This keeps supplier usage visible without crowding the main profile.

The proposal section supports:

• Search
• Pagination
• Sorting by proposal fields such as title, client, destination, status, creation date, update date, and amount

This makes it easier to understand where a supplier has been used across active and historical proposal work.

Supplier Files

Supplier records include a files section for supplier-specific documents.

The current implementation supports:

• Uploading files to the supplier record
• Searching files
• Browsing files by folder
• Moving files between folders
• Deleting files

Use this area for documents that belong to the supplier relationship, such as contracts, commercial references, product sheets, or operational material.
