Estimate the labor and approval time your team may recover by replacing quote spreadsheets.
QuoteStack is built for the middle of the sourcing decision: after supplier quotes arrive and before the final choice disappears into approvals, chat, and inbox threads.
This calculator is deliberately simple. It only estimates operational drag from manual comparison and approval coordination. It does not assume supplier savings, negotiated discounts, or broad procurement transformation.
Hours recovered each month
Based on 35% less spreadsheet, follow-up, and approval coordination work.
Labor value recovered each year
Loaded labor value only. This excludes supplier savings or faster project starts.
Approval days recovered per month
Assumes 30% of delay is caused by fragmented follow-up and missing decision context.
Annual sourcing events touched
Useful when deciding whether a focused decision workflow is worth formalizing.
What QuoteStack is / isn’t
This is a decision-layer tool, not a full procurement suite.
QuoteStack is strongest when teams already know how to source vendors but need a cleaner way to compare live offers, explain tradeoffs, and keep the approval trail attached.
What it is
- Supplier quote comparison with side-by-side commercial context
- Approval-ready decision records for the chosen quote
- A lightweight workflow between incoming quotes and the final sign-off
What it isn’t
- Not an ERP or purchase order system
- Not AP automation or invoice processing
- Not a supplier marketplace or full sourcing suite
