About

Describe what you need to buy and get a shortlist of real suppliers, a quote request ready to send and a comparison you can trust.

What it does

  • Finds suppliers that fit your specification, quantities and delivery constraints
  • Drafts requests for quote and chases the missing replies
  • Compares offers like for like: delivered cost, terms, lead time, minimum order
  • Prepares negotiation approaches and drafts the messages
  • Routes purchase approvals against budget and reviews supplier reliability

What you need

  • Nothing to start: describe what you need to buy
  • Gmail (optional) to send quote requests, read replies and chase suppliers
  • Google Sheets (optional) to keep the supplier register and comparisons in your own sheet

How setup works

A first supplier shortlist and comparison arrive in the first minutes. Then it learns what you buy, what matters beyond price and who approves what, connects your tools and sets up a weekly purchasing check you confirm.

What stays in your hands

  • No message goes to a supplier without your go-ahead
  • It never commits to an order, a price or a contract for you

What you will need

  • Gmail

  • Google Sheets

Frequently asked questions

How does it find suppliers?

It turns your need into a short specification, then searches manufacturers, distributors and trade directories on the web. Every supplier comes with what it makes, where it ships from and where each fact was found.

Can it send quote requests and chase suppliers?

Yes, once your email is connected. It drafts each request for quote and follow-up for you to approve, reads the replies and logs the prices for the comparison.

How are quotes compared?

On the same specification, quantity and terms: delivered total cost, payment terms, lead time, minimum order and validity, with the gaps in each quote called out. You decide how much price, lead time and risk weigh.

Can it help negotiate prices?

Yes. It prepares two or three negotiation approaches, drafts the message you choose and follows the replies. It never commits to an order or a price on your behalf.

Does it handle purchase approvals and supplier performance?

Yes. It prepares approval requests with the budget left and the right approver under your rules, and reviews late deliveries, defects and service commitments supplier by supplier.
