Supplier comparison
Compare supplier offers on the same basis
Supplier comparison is the process of evaluating equivalent offers using the same specification, quantity, tax basis, location, and validity period. Quotify structures that comparison so teams can identify the lowest visible offer without overlooking commercial differences.

Compare more than the unit price

- Supplier location and commercial basis
- Stock status and quotation validity
- Supplier location and project context
Calculate landed cost
The cheapest unit price is not always the cheapest project choice. A useful comparison also checks taxes, minimum order requirements, availability, payment terms, and other commercial conditions around the offer.
Quotify presents supplier context so procurement decisions can be reviewed against the project rather than the catalogue price alone.
Maintain an audit trail
Record the source, date, assumptions, and selected supplier for every significant rate. A simple audit trail makes estimate reviews faster and reduces uncertainty when market conditions change.
