NIGHTLY COST SYNC
Your negotiated account pricing refreshes overnight. Big moves get flagged: "Copper up 6% — 14 price-book tasks affected. Update?"
MARGIN RULES
Set margin once — by category, vendor, or item — and the flat-rate sell price maintains itself on top of live cost.
CHEAPEST STOCKED BRANCH
Same SKU compared across vendors — the PO defaults to the lowest price that's actually on a shelf near your tech today.

If it has a label, it's one scan away.
