The problem

Purchase prices were remembered or found by digging through old invoices, so price creep went unnoticed and comparison between suppliers was impressionistic.

What we built

We retain every purchase price per supplier per item, presented as history and comparison at the point of raising a purchase order.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
