Purchaser empowers Sales Engineers to source market pricing in real-time, eliminating the guesswork that kills margins and the delays that lose deals.
You need to move fast. Purchasing needs to move carefully. When these goals collide, Sales Engineers are stuck in the middle, guessing at costs to meet a deadline.
Winning the bid based on a "rule of thumb" estimate ($500/part) only to find out later it costs $800/part to make. The sale counts, but the profit is gone.
Your Purchasing team is focused on fulfillment for *active* orders. Your "what if" budgetary requests sit at the bottom of their pile for weeks.
Customers send PDFs, spreadsheets, and napkin sketches. You spend hours normalizing BOMs instead of engineering solutions.
Don't let your supply chain slow down your sales cycle. Run your own "Budgetary" RFQs in a separate, streamlined environment.
Purchaser allows Sales Engineers to solicit pricing without polluting the ERP or triggering official procurement workflows. Get the numbers you need, keep the internal data clean, and move at your own speed.
Customers rarely send clean data. They send scanned PDFs of drawing packages or unstructured Excel lists.
Stop manual data entry. Drag and drop your customer's files into Purchaser. Our AI identifies part numbers, quantities, and descriptions, instantly structuring them into a clean BOM ready for quoting.
Stop guessing. Back every line item in your proposal with a real market quote. Attach the vendor's pricing directly to your internal cost sheet.
If material prices spike between now and the contract signing, you have the paper trail ("Quote dated Jan 12th") to justify a price adjustment before you commit to a fixed-price contract.
Need a new source for plating, specialty alloys, or 5-axis machining? Your internal Approved Vendor List might be too expensive or too slow for this bid.
Access our network of 200,000+ suppliers to find partners who can hit your aggressive deadlines, giving you a competitive edge on lead time and price.
