Supply Link -
Back in Business
Due to incredibly high usage on Supply
Link you may have noticed some periods of slow response time.
We have been very busy, replacing two servers, increasing the
data capacity 10-fold, upgrading to state of the art, all
components down to the cabling and fixing a programming bug. We
now have the system operating at full speed and encourage you to
challenge the improvements we have made. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience
while we located and fixed the issues.

Link
Enhancement
Teachers busily preparing to leave for the
summer sometimes park carts and forget to check them out. Now
district approvers have the ability to locate, activate, edit
and check out these carts.
It is easy to do…
In your cart manager select cart status
“all”, click “show group carts” and click go. The carts can be
sorted by any of the fields. If you know the cart number or
PO that can be added for a faster search.
