## Frequently Asked Questions

**How are suppliers created automatically?**

Whenever an invoice or delivery note arrives, the system reads the sender and data, and creates or updates the supplier profile.

**Can I trust the contract monitoring?**

Yes, AI continuously scans documents for expiration dates, price changes, and terms, and alerts you ahead of deadlines.

**How does AI assist in negotiations?**

The AI can draft termination letters or renegotiation requests, prefilled with contract details, so you only need to review and send.

**Can I compare suppliers easily?**

Yes, you can request the AI to find alternative suppliers and collect offers for price comparison.

**Are all documents linked to the right supplier?**

Invoices, contracts, and delivery notes are automatically matched and archived under the correct supplier profile for easy access.

**Does this work for construction materials and tool suppliers?**

Yes. Supplier profiles and documents work across trades like construction, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.

**Can AI monitor price changes and terms automatically?**

Yes. Price updates, deadlines, and conditions are detected so you can renegotiate in time.

**Can KraftHub pull articles straight from my wholesaler's shop?**

Yes, over IDS-Connect. You search your wholesaler's web shop from inside KraftHub, fill a cart, and it comes back into the quote with article numbers, quantities and your own negotiated prices.

**Can I get current prices without loading a file every quarter?**

Yes, over Open Masterdata. KraftHub asks the supplier about the individual article at costing time and receives master data, your price, availability, texts, images and datasheets.

**What if my supplier only offers DATANORM?**

Then DATANORM keeps working. KraftHub loads the file, maps the articles and summarises what changes before you accept the import.
