Day 6 · Money and suppliers

Finances and purchasing under control

Payments and supply are the backbone of the work, but they slip easily in the rush. Today Hermes takes financial order and purchasing on herself, so you handle the business, not spreadsheets.

Payments and spend under control

You always know who paid, who has not, and what spend is coming.

why

An unpaid invoice is rarely a client's bad faith, more often a small thing forgotten on both sides. But reminding feels awkward, so money hangs. And your own spend on materials and rent is easy to lose track of.

how it looks

Tell her about issued invoices and the main costs. Hermes keeps the list, flags delays, and drafts a gentle reminder for the client once the date has passed.

example on whatsapp
You Invoiced the Thread studio 450 euro for the batch.
Hermes Noted, due in seven days. If you do not mark it paid by the date, I will remind you and offer a text for the client.
where to start

Enter your open invoices, and Hermes will prompt when to remind on payment.

Suppliers and orders on time

Hermes remembers supplier terms, stock levels and when to reorder.

why

Thread or hardware runs out mid-order and everything stops. Calling a supplier in a hurry and overpaying for a rush is unpleasant, and not calling in time is worse.

how it looks

Tell Hermes about your main suppliers: who, what they supply, timing and terms. She reminds you to order early, remembers minimum stock, and helps draft the request to the supplier.

example on whatsapp
You Our fabric supplier is TextilePro, minimum stock 30 metres, delivery three days.
Hermes Noted. When stock drops below 30 metres or a big order comes in, I will remind you to order early. Want me to tell you how much is left now?
where to start

Enter two or three main suppliers with terms, and Hermes will remind you on stock.

18 Easy · Control · Value: peace of mind

Spend and tokens under watch

The assistant works within budget, it does not burn through it unnoticed.

why

The worry of a big bill creeping up gets in the way of using the assistant freely. When the spend is transparent and capped, you stop saving on the thing that saves you time.

how it looks

For the first weeks Hermes runs on the intakto key with a limit, no extra to pay. She tells you how much is left and helps you move to your own key when you are ready. Details in the spend note.

example on whatsapp
You I will not spend extra on this?
Hermes No. We run on the intakto key with a limit, nothing extra is charged. When you want your own key, I will walk you through the steps, it takes a couple of minutes.
where to start

Open the spend note and check the current limit in your account.
