EVIDENCE
Your team approves before anything ships.
Every buying suggestion points at its source. Every supplier recommendation links back to invoices, catalogue items, price history, or project need.
Every buying list is reviewable. Your procurement lead sees the suggestion, the number, and the evidence before anything ships.
Every purchase decision leaves a trail. Approvals, edits, and supplier choices are timestamped and traceable.

Before
With BuildGuider
Supplier price assumed in the estimate. Actual price found out later.
Procurement memory built from real invoices, suggesting the right number first.
New project, same suppliers, no idea who's cheapest this month.
Supplier comparison with last-bought prices and a 12-month trend.
Invoices filed away after payment. Memory lost.
Every invoice line becomes part of the catalogue. Future estimates use the actual number.
Buying decisions held in one person's head.
A buying list that anyone on the team can read and approve.
