Tend.
Back office

Give us the paperwork.

You keep doing the work. We take the orders, the approvals, the deliveries and the supplier invoices — and we run them properly, so nothing is paid twice and nothing goes missing.

What we take on

The jobs that pile up.

To fill in

Your services list. What you actually sell is a commercial fact rather than copy — “we file your VAT returns” is a promise with your name on it, so nothing has been invented here.

Edit BACK_OFFICE_SERVICES in lib/marketing/content.ts and this block is replaced by the real thing.

How it runs

One order, start to finish.

Each stage is gated on the one before it — not by a checklist somebody remembers to follow, but by the system itself.

  1. 01

    You raise it

    An order to a supplier, or a quote for your customer. Takes a minute, from a phone if that's where you are.

  2. 02

    It gets approved

    Against the limits you set, by the people you nominate. Nobody approves their own order — not your team, not us.

  3. 03

    The goods arrive

    Recorded against the order as they land, splitting what turned up from what you actually accepted. A short or damaged delivery is flagged the moment it's entered.

  4. 04

    The invoice is checked three ways

    Against what was ordered and against what arrived. Wrong price, or billed for more than you accepted, and it does not go through until the supplier explains it.

  5. 05

    Paid, and closed

    Settled and put to bed, with a record of whether it closed complete or short — and a trail nobody can go back and tidy up.

Why it holds

The controls are in the system, not in a promise.

Tend enforces every one of these. They are not a description of how carefully we intend to work.

An invoice that doesn't match can't be paid

Every supplier invoice is checked against what was ordered and what actually arrived. Wrong price, or billed for more than was accepted — including a supplier billing twice for one delivery — and it will not go through until somebody explains it.

Nobody approves their own order

Spending limits are set per person, and the person who raised an order can never be the one who approves it. That holds for us too — there is no override.

Received means accepted, not delivered

Ten delivered with three damaged is seven received. A delivery that doesn't match what was ordered is flagged the moment it's recorded, and chasing the supplier is our job, not yours.
