NEW: Health check - Supplier Account
- The new function “Health check” as part of the Supplier Account supports suppliers in optimally setting up their profile and their offers.

Optimisation of the Supplier Account
- The Supplier Account is an important part of the registration on LabFinder.
Each supplier receives his own password-protected supplier account on LabFinder. Here he can view his profile and independently adjust his information and offers at any time. Contact information, company description, product and brand portfolio as well as products in the LabFinder Shop can be set up or adapted in no time at all.
Customer enquiries can be viewed in detail and the LabFinder monitoring function shows how often you have been displayed as a supplier and thus recognised by potential customers.
We have expanded the Supplier Account again and made it even more user-friendly. In addition to the dashboard, all other functions can be accessed via the menu. Contact us if you would like to find out more.
