Price change alerts
Stop quoting jobs on last year's costs. You get an alert the week something you buy regularly goes up.

How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Prices tracked from every invoice and quote
For the items you buy most, a record of what each supplier charged and when.
- 02
Increases spotted
When a price rises past a threshold you set, or a supplier sends a price-increase notice, it gets picked up.
- 03
The impact worked out
What the increase costs you over a year at your usual volumes, and what another supplier charged for the same thing.
- 04
A weekly alert with options
Which prices went up, by how much, and where your own price list or quote templates may need updating.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
Changing supplier, pushing back on a price or updating your own prices is your call. The alert only reports.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
1 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 46 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$2,300
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Suppliers raise prices a few percent at a time, sometimes with a letter, often without. You find out months later when job margins have shrunk, after quoting dozens of jobs on old costs.

A month in
Price rises get spotted the week they happen, not months later, so your quotes keep pace with your costs instead of quietly eating the difference.
FAQ
Can it update our price list automatically?
It can draft the price list changes for you to approve. A person always sets your selling prices.
How many items do price change alerts track?
Price change alerts start with the items that make up most of your spend, usually a few dozen, and we add more if you want them.
