Adding Supplier Pricing Data
To add new supplier pricing data, click “+ New” in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a modal where you can enter all relevant supplier pricing details.
Name
Name
This is the main identifier for the supplier pricing data.Choose a clear, descriptive name so you can easily identify and retrieve it through the AI Chat.
Example: If you name the entry “Serengeti Park Fees”, you can simply ask the AI Chat for “Serengeti Park Fees” to access that information.
Supplier Name

Example: If the data belongs to Miracle Experiences (e.g., Balloon Safari), enter “Miracle Experiences” here.
Sale Rates

These represent the public-facing (rack) rates for the supplier’s pricing data.When you ask the AI Chat for “public rates,” it references these sale rates — serving as the upper bound for pricing.You can write this information as plain text and organize it using bullet points for clarity.
Nett Rates
Nett Rates
These are the private (nett) rates charged by the supplier when invoicing you.When you ask for “private rates” in the AI Chat, it will display these nett rates — helping you calculate profit margins and track your actual costs.Like sale rates, this information can be entered as plain text, preferably formatted with bullet points.

Example: The screenshot below shows Serengeti National Park Fees added to the Supplier Pricing Data table.
Accessing Data from the AI Chat
To retrieve supplier pricing data through the AI Chat, simply search by name. An exact match isn’t required — the closer the name, the easier it is for the system to identify and return the correct data. Once located, you can ask follow-up questions to access any or all of the details saved when creating that supplier pricing entry.Example: In the screenshot below, the supplier pricing data titled “Serengeti National Park Fees” is searched within AI Chat to display all related information.
