I mean, that’s again, what do y’all I mean, coming into twenty twenty? I can’t believe we’re already in July of twenty twenty two. This is just mind boggling to me. But you know, going into twenty twenty three, I’m assuming you guys are going to continually see that growth, right? And so are you guys going to continually utilize and put more, you know, again, the effort into the source date platform? If you’re hiring another buyer, that’s great, you know, but, you know, you’re going to utilize the automation part to fill some of those gaps? Yes, I mean, that’s that’s our plan. It were for any part that we’re not already utilizing. That’s our plan is to utilize it to just make our jobs easier so we can get better at supply planning. Because in the past and even even currently a little bit, you know, we spend a lot of time just cutting the PO and just making sure is what we need the correct amount is this right when we need it. So we take out all the noise and all the time of spending on managing the PO after it’s cut. Right. Which is what Source Day really helps us with, then we can focus things, like I said, on negotiating better costs, and maybe we don’t need to hire another buyer where in the past, we would have had maybe a purchasing specialist with us to do that. Yeah. You know, I I like to think that we run pretty lean for as small of a company that we are in the grand scheme of things. We’re not, you know, a Nissan of the world or, you know, we’re not an automotive. However, we have all the tools at our disposal to to lean out some of these things and automating it definitely helps. It definitely allows us to focus on what we should be doing as a buyer or in the procurement department. But growth mode right now, we are seeing a lot of growth. You know, it would, if I get another buyer as we grow, it would be, it would be great. But, you know, right now, I’m also in the mindset that we’re we have a really good team that we’re able to tackle, you know, what we manage right now with who we have. And a lot of that is because of source day, right? So and I’m not just saying that because we’re talking, but I was talking to Climate and they’re out west and they were looking at using source day, I think with they didn’t even talk to us first, you know, came across it somehow or word-of-mouth and, we’re like, oh, yeah, well, we use that. And so told them a little bit about it and how much time it saves them. And I think they’re working maybe with less amount of people on their team as well. So it’s almost it’s it’s almost like an arm of the company. Right? It’s almost like a Right. Extension. So
