Updating a job after a supplier delayExample“The remaining components won't arrive until Monday. Sorry for the delay.”
A supplier changes a delivery date, production needs to know when the materials will arrive, and the customer still expects the original dispatch time. The planning spreadsheet, supplier email and customer record may each have different dates.
Whirl checks the affected jobs in your connected records, requests supplier updates and asks the production team about the timing. It prepares agreed updates for your records and customers. Your team makes production scheduling decisions and carries out the factory work.
