What is a Lightning Automation on Folio?
A Lightning Automation is Folio's signature approach to connecting directly with supplier websites. It offers a faster, more powerful purchasing experience than traditional EDI or PunchOut flows.
Orders are confirmed in seconds on the supplier site
Access to the supplier’s complete catalog for your property
Real-time inventory and pricing updates
As always, thank you for making Folio a part of your hotel's operations and for continuing to share feedback that helps us improve. We love hearing from you and are grateful for the chance to serve you.
