Initial Situation
A buyer needs 500 pairs of gloves for production. Currently, they log into 4 vendor portals sequentially, search for the item in each, note prices in an Excel spreadsheet and compare manually. The process takes 45 minutes per inquiry. With 20 comparison requests per week, 15 hours are lost solely on price research.
