In CushionsERP, all Customers, Vendors (Suppliers), and Contacts are managed under a unified module called Third Parties.

This approach, inherited from Dolibarr ERP/CRM, simplifies contact management and reflects how many real-world businesses operate.

More advantages are:

• Reduces duplication — one company = one record
• Handles real-world overlaps (e.g., partner who is both vendor & client)
• Simplifies permissions, reporting, and workflows
