Spending intelligence — one of our products
Your suppliers are raising prices. You don't notice.
CostRadar is our product that reads electronic XML invoices and alerts you in real time when a supplier changes prices. No increase goes unnoticed.
The hidden increases eroding your margins
Every year suppliers refresh their price lists. A +3% here, a +5% there, on hundreds of items. Nobody manually checks thousands of invoice lines across dozens of suppliers — it's not feasible. So you find out at year-end, when the margin has already evaporated and you have no leverage left to renegotiate.
Problem
Invisible increases
A supplier raises the price on hundreds of items. Nobody notices until margins collapse.
Problem
Impossible to check manually
Checking thousands of invoice lines across dozens of suppliers by hand takes hours: in practice it doesn't happen.
Problem
Zero negotiating leverage
Without data on changes the buyer has no argument. The supplier knows they're not being monitored.

Product: CostRadar
CostRadar watches every single price
You import invoices and that's it. The system compares every unit price against the supplier's history and alerts you in real time — even for a 0.5% deviation.
Continuous monitoring
Every invoice analysed line by line: the price is compared against history and any variation is detected.
Smart alerts
Email, Telegram or Slack notifications with thresholds customisable per supplier and category, instant or daily digest.
Negotiation reports
PDF with the change history, ready to bring to the supplier: you negotiate with data, not gut feel.
Benchmark & price lists
Compare the same item across different suppliers and automatically flag deviations from the agreed price list.
Not just alerts: a spending intelligence ecosystem
