2. Why it pays off#

Suppliers attach to repairs and purchases, so cost history accumulates per supplier. Over a year that answers questions memory cannot: who is quickest, who is cheapest, and who has been called back twice for the same fault.

Keep one record per supplier. Three near-duplicate entries with different spellings split the history and make the comparison useless.
