Purchase cost analysis

Know what you actually pay, product by product

Your purchase prices are already written down somewhere: on the invoices you receive every week. Extractify reads them, lines them up and gives you one simple thing, what each product costs, from whom, and since when it has been climbing.

The questions you can finally answer

These are the ones we are asked, worded the way we are asked them.

  • That bag of cement, what was I paying for it six months ago?
  • Which of my three suppliers is cheapest on this product, weighted by quantity?
  • What went up this month, and by how much in euros, not in percent?
  • On which lines did my supplier bill above the price we agreed?
  • How much have I spent with this supplier since January?

Where the figures come from

From your documents, and nothing else. There is no market price database behind it and no industry average: what you see is what you paid, which makes the conversation with a supplier a great deal shorter.

Your invoices and delivery notes

Every extracted line feeds the product history: date, quantity, unit price, supplier. No typing, no prior setup.

Your agreed prices

Import the price list agreed with a supplier and every billed line is compared with what was expected. Gaps surface with the document to back them up.

Your catalogue, built as you go

Your suppliers' wordings attach to products, and it is that link which makes comparison possible. It fills up as documents come in.

Comparing two suppliers on the same product

This is the point where everything else gets stuck: the same product is never written the same way by two suppliers.

A

B

Peinture murale acrylique blanche mate 10L

Both mean the same tin. Matching works on the wording and on the supplier reference, and once both point at the same product, price comparison becomes possible. You keep control: a link can be undone and redone.

What it is not

  • It is not a market price database: Extractify does not know what your neighbour pays, it knows what you pay.
  • It is not a forecasting tool: the figures describe the past, they do not guess next month's copper price.
  • It is not automated negotiation: it prepares the file, the summary of gaps and the letter; the conversation stays yours.

Frequently asked questions

How many invoices before it becomes useful?

Two purchases of the same product are enough to see a trend, two suppliers to compare. In practice a few weeks of documents already give a readable picture.

How do you spot a rise buried in hundreds of lines?

Changes are surfaced and priced in euros, with the document and the exact line behind them. You can also get an email when a gap crosses a threshold.

Can we produce a summary for the supplier?

Yes, a PDF of the gaps found over the period, ready to send to support a renegotiation, with the line by line detail.

What if a product changes packaging?

Packaging is extracted with the line, which avoids comparing a 25 kg bag with a 35 kg one. Where it is ambiguous the line is flagged rather than quietly averaged.

Your purchase prices are already in your invoices

All that is left is to look at them.
