Vendor quotes
Messages and calls your vendors for quotes in parallel, keeps each thread moving, and collects every reply into one comparison table — days of back-and-forth compressed into one afternoon.
Three vendors, five days
and still no comparison.
One thread at a time
Ops asks vendor one, waits, forgets, asks vendor two. By the time the third replies, the first quote has expired and the spec has changed twice.
Quotes live in five formats
A PDF, a phone call, a price pasted in chat, a spreadsheet, a 'call me'. Nobody normalizes them, so the comparison never actually happens.
Procurement waits on the slowest vendor
The stockout clock keeps running while quotes trickle in. The order finally goes to whoever answered — not whoever was best.
The best price was in the second reply. Nobody lined them up to see it.
Every vendor worked at once. One table at the end.
- Spec attached: 500 double-wall mailers, 12×9×4, print-ready dieline
- Vendor list: three suppliers from your QuickBooks vendor master
"Get me quotes for 500 mailer boxes by Friday — same spec as the March order."
Splits the job into three vendor threads — each with the spec, quantity and deadline attached.
- Vendors A & B: spec emailed, both threads live
- Vendor C prefers calls — so it gets one
Emails A and B the spec sheet; logs both threads against the request.
Calls vendor C, walks the spec, and confirms they'll price by Thursday.
- B needed one chase — nudged Wednesday, replied Thursday
- Per-unit, landed: $0.84 / $0.79 / $0.91 — normalized with freight
Chases the quiet vendor once, clarifies B's freight terms, converts C's phone price into writing.
Builds the comparison: per-unit landed cost, lead time, MOQ — one table, sources linked.
- B wins on landed cost — 6% under A at the same lead time
- PO drafted — your approval sends it
Pick vendor B — the quote, thread and terms are attached to the row.
PO sent, vendors A and C thanked and closed out. Five days of relay, done in three.
Same three vendors. One afternoon.
| Moment | Before Clarwiz | On Clarwiz |
|---|---|---|
| The ask | Three separate emails, written thrice. | One request, split into three threads automatically. |
| The chase | Whoever ops remembers to nudge. | Every quiet thread nudged on schedule. |
| The formats | PDF, phone call, chat paste. | Normalized to per-unit landed cost. |
| The comparison | Never actually built. | One table — price, lead time, MOQ, sourced. |
| The decision | Goes to whoever answered. | Goes to whoever won. You pick from evidence. |
How does it contact vendors — email, phone, portal?
What if a vendor quotes something that doesn't match the spec?
Does it negotiate?
Where does the vendor list come from?
What do we need to integrate before a demo?
