Parties are compared on the quoted rate, not the real landed price.
What ERP Infra does: The price comparator ranks every quotation on landed cost, per item, with the last rate paid beside it.
Why it happens
Three parties quote for the same steel. One includes freight, one adds it on the bill, one offers a discount for early payment. Compared on the quoted rate, the wrong party wins.
Quotations arrive by phone, WhatsApp and email, and the comparison is rebuilt in a spreadsheet each time. The rate paid last month for the same item is in someone’s memory, not on the page.
How ERP Infra handles it
Items down the page, parties across it
Every quotation for a requirement is seen side by side, item by item.
Ranked on landed cost
Freight, tax, discount and other charges are counted, so the comparison is on what you will actually pay.
Last rate paid, beside every item
A quote above the last rate paid stands out before the order is placed.
Orders split across parties
Take the best party for each item, within your approval limits, and keep the reason on record.
Measured in the pilot
Landed price paid against the lowest landed quote, per order, and against the last rate paid. Shown with your numbers, not ours.
Questions people ask
- What is landed cost in construction purchasing?
- Landed cost is what a material costs by the time it reaches your store: the quoted rate plus freight, loading, tax and other charges, less any discount. ERP Infra ranks quotations on landed cost, not on the quoted rate.
- Is the price comparator the same as a comparative statement?
- Yes. It is the comparative statement of quotations that purchase teams prepare by hand, built automatically from the quotations recorded against an enquiry.
- Can one order be split between two suppliers?
- Yes. You can pick the best party for each item and raise separate orders from the same comparison.
