Introduction

Restaurants often face significant challenges when it comes to manually managing supplier contracts. Creating and updating these documents is time-consuming, and the risk of errors is high. Additionally, each contract must be customized according to the supplier, type of goods, and delivery schedule, which can quickly become overwhelming. In such a dynamic environment as restaurants, the efficiency and consistency of documents are essential to keep operations running smoothly.

Why LexiFlow?

LexiFlow is the ideal solution for restaurants looking to automate the creation of supplier contracts. With LexiFlow, you can create automated templates that ensure consistency and accuracy, saving precious time and reducing the risk of human errors. The platform allows efficient document management and integration with various data sources, ensuring that each contract is completed with the correct and updated information.

Step 1 — Create a Template

The first step in automating documents with LexiFlow is creating a contract template. This template will include variables that will be automatically filled with relevant data. Here is an example structure for a supply contract:

Supply Contract
 Supplier Name: {{nume_furnizor}}
 Contract Date: {{data_contract}}
 Supplied Products: {{produse_furnizate}}
 Delivery Schedule: {{program_livrare}}
 Contract Value: {{valoare_contract}}
 Payment Terms: {{termeni_plata}}

These variables, such as {{nume_furnizor}} and {{data_contract}}, will later be mapped to the corresponding data sources.

Step 2 — Configure Data Sources

The next step is configuring the data sources that will feed the document template. LexiFlow allows integration with various data sources, such as CSV files, APIs, or external databases. For example, you can upload a CSV file with supplier details or connect an API that automatically updates delivery data.

Step 3 — Map the Variables

Once the data sources are configured, it's time to map the template variables to the corresponding fields in the data sources. For example:

  • {{nume_furnizor}} → 'Supplier Name' field in CSV
  • {{data_contract}} → 'Date' field in the database
  • {{produse_furnizate}} → 'Products' field in API

This process ensures that each generated contract contains the correct and updated information.

Step 4 — Build a Flow

A flow in LexiFlow is the automated process that links the document template, data sources, and variable mapping to generate documents automatically. You can set rules and conditions to trigger document generation, such as when a new supplier is added to the system or when a delivery schedule is updated.

Step 5 — Generate the Documents

Once the flow is configured, you can generate the documents either manually or automatically. The final documents can be downloaded or sent directly to suppliers via email, saving even more time.
