The suppliers and people you work alongside.
Partners is the other side of your business: who you buy from, what they charge, how long they actually take, and the purchase orders that keep the shelves full.
Most software calls this supplier management. In Piggles it is called Partners, because that is what you are actually doing.

What Partners does
Who supplies what
Suppliers, the items they provide, their codes for them and their prices — including when more than one can supply the same thing.
Purchase orders
Raise, send, receive against, and part-receive. What arrived and what is still outstanding stays clear.
What they really cost you
Freight, duty and handling spread across the delivery, so the cost of an item is the cost of getting it here.
How long they actually take
Measured from your own orders, not from what they told you — which is what reorder timing should be based on.
Price changes caught
When an invoice does not match the agreed price, it is flagged rather than absorbed.
Receiving with a scanner
Scan the delivery in and stock updates as you go, instead of a paper note typed up later.
It is included. All of it, from day one.
Partners is not an add-on, an upgrade or a module you switch on and get billed for. It is in the $49 plan alongside the other fourteen, whether you open it every morning or twice a year.
What actually changes the priceWorks with the rest of it
Nothing here is a separate product that has been made to talk to the others. They are the same business, looked at from different angles.
