Complete product workflow
Follow the supplier evidence from intake through an approved, reusable decision record.
These are the connected stages available in QuoteStack today. The workflow can start manually or with AI-assisted extraction, and it keeps human review visible before automation affects the recommendation.
Capture the source material
Upload a PDF, photo, spreadsheet, invoice, or price list; enter a quote manually; import rows in bulk; or send an expiring supplier submission link.
Verify the AI draft
Review extracted line items and commercial terms against the attached source. Confirm, correct, reject, or restore uncertain fields before relying on them.
Compare the complete cost
Keep original currencies visible while reviewing normalized amounts, lead time, MOQ, supplier terms, freight, tax, duty, and buyer-added landed costs.
Choose and explain
Select one quote with an explicit rationale, explainable recommendation signals, missing-data warnings, and supplier history available in the same decision view.
Route each approval step
Send the selected snapshot to workspace roles, named users, or external email reviewers. Stale quote changes invalidate outdated approval context.
Export and retain the record
Carry the approved comparison into PDF or Excel decision packs, deal history, notifications, change orders, and the searchable materials price book.
