The best decision
needs the full picture.

Start with a common price basis

Ask each supplier for a product identifier, description, price per pack, quantity in that pack, unit of measure and currency. Add delivery terms, minimum order and any exclusions. The free template below uses those fields.

Use the first list as your reference catalogue. New items from other suppliers remain visible, and missing reference items are marked as not supplied.

Compare units before comparing prices

In this example, A has the higher pack price and the lower price per litre. Tabel converts compatible mass, volume, length, area and count units; it does not convert a kilogram into a litre, or a box into an assumed number of pieces.

For different currencies, choose a reporting currency and supply an exchange rate. A rate of 1 EUR = 1.10 USD means one euro buys 1.10 dollars. Tabel does not fetch rates or assume parity.

Give incomplete quotations the attention they need

Missing is different from zero. “Not supplied” means no row was matched in a list; “Price missing” means the product exists but has no usable price. Neither should look like a cheap offer.

A “Lowest unit price” marker appears only when every list has a valid comparable row and identity questions have been resolved. There is no overall winning supplier or summed basket score. Delivery, tax, discounts and minimum-order costs need your separate judgement.

Keep the details with the decision

Open any row to inspect delivery, minimum orders, terms and its file, worksheet and row reference. Edit an extracted value or a match if needed; the original cells remain in the export. Undo reverses recent changes.
