Commerce intelligence for industrial and MRO procurement

Industrial buyers negotiate against last quarter's invoice because that is the only benchmark they have. Public distributor pricing plus a durable history turns that into a number with a date range attached.

Industrial & MRO

Negotiate against a distribution

A time-weighted median with a stated window is a defensible position in a negotiation. A screenshot of a competitor's website is not.

Industrial & MRO

Long horizons

Industrial pricing moves slowly and matters over years. Append-only history means the record five years from now is the record as it was reported, not as it was later revised.

Endpoints that do this

Where it lands in the API.

GET /v1/products/{id}/history

History

The observation series. Append-only — nothing is ever updated, so a replay reconstructs exactly what you were told and when.

GET /v1/exports

Bulk export

The whole index, or your slice of it, as newline-delimited JSON or Parquet. Analysts should not paginate through an API to build a model.

POST /v1/compare

Compare

One product across every seller that carries it, ranked by landed cost, with the spread. Server-side work is worth more than four raw reads the caller has to join.

Can we compare our contract rates against public pricing?

Upload your rates through bulk match and compare them against the public distribution per item, including how much of the year public pricing sat below your contract.
