Last week was an exciting week at Folio and the updates just keep coming! Today, we're thrilled to announce three new Lightning Automations now live on Folio:

  • FreshPoint - foodservice produce disturber

  • Edward Don - leading distributor of foodservice equipment and supplies

  • Mr Greens - specializes in produce, imported goods, dairy and charcuterie

If you're an existing customer of these suppliers and want them linked to your Folio account, please email support@folio.co or use the in-app chat.

What is a Lightning Automation on Folio?

A Lightning Automation is Folio's proprietary way of connecting directly with supplier websites. It gives you a faster, more powerful purchasing experience.

  • Orders are confirmed instantly 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.

Other Updates Last Week

  • Bills: We've improved automatic extraction of payment information from supplier invoices, making Folio invoice transcription even more powerful and accurate than before.

  • Pay: We've tweaked the display of payment statuses to provide clearer visibility into which bills have been paid and which are still awaiting payment processing.

  • Manager: We've improved controls for managing linked lightning suppliers and refined the process for adding new suppliers directly to your property.

  • Manager: Searching for suppliers is now more accurate with support for searching by supplier ID from your accounting system right within Folio.

  • Buy: We've shipped a few automation improvements that significantly increase speed and reliability when working with fresh produce and specialty food suppliers.

  • Buy: We improved handling of account status issues with improved detection of accounts on hold, plus flexible ordering that handles delivery minimums even more intelligently.

Stay in the loop

See if Folio could serve your operation. We’d love to reach out and share updates as they come.
