The questions you get asked, answered with the vendor behind them.

Each answer comes from your own purchase history, with the next step drafted.

Rate

Why did this rate go up?

Every purchase of the item against its own history, so the rise is seen against the vendor and not the budget.

A36 plate 1/4in · Vendor A$ per tn, last 7 POs
6-month average $1,120

Vendors

Who else can supply this?

Every vendor that has supplied the item, with their last rate, lead time, and share of your spend.

Questions purchase managers ask us

Yes. It sends the RFQ to the vendors you choose, reads their replies as they arrive, and compares them. The award is yours.
The item's own purchase history, current vendor terms, lead time, and landed cost, so the best quote is clear before you negotiate.
From your actual consumption, recalculated on a schedule, so the limits move when usage does.
Yes. A procurement request shows the item's purchase history, stock limits, and open POs, and runs through your approval stages before the PO is awarded.
No. Rotasu reads from the ERP you already run and writes approved POs and actions back into it.
