We're working on a direct tie up Kevin, just trying to decide who to use as I'm not keen on the idea of forcing people to using just one supplier if done that way. Especially as people tend to think it will be a kickback affiliate deal going off.
We already have some users using the export csv file and are using various different suppliers already, as each supplier has some unique little spin on what or how they do the reporting and other tools it gives you. Someone is going to be disappointed when we decide who to use for the direct facility. Still, it is only 4 or 5 clicks to get the csv file exported so they can still use their preferred existing supplier if they don't want to use whoever we choose to tie in with. I think it's important people have a choice. When we do tie up with someone I suppose the reporting could be pulled back directly into the client record using the API integration, which may persuade people to use the 'preferred' supplier rather than do the export to a different one, that would be a big benefit.
