Every supplier writes it differently. The comparison puts it all on one row.
Put the flows from several suppliers together. OrbitQuote recognizes the same item even when the description and the code are different, marks the best price by the criterion you choose and shows each supplier’s order.
Three suppliers, three names. The same item.
"Black corrugated drain 100mm", "Perforated black corrugated drain pipe DN100" and "Corrugated pipe for drainage 100mm" land on the same row. Hover over the item name and see how each supplier wrote it, with the price and the difference to the cheapest.
You adjust the groups
If two different items landed together, or the other way around, reorganize the groups right on the screen.
Only what is comparable
Filter the items more than one supplier quoted and see separately what only one of them has.
The difference on screen
Each price shows how far above the best it is, as a percentage.
