Supplier Quotation

Supplier quotes never arrive in the same shape: one is per carton, one per piece, one in dollars with freight to come, one delivered with 30 days credit. Comparing them by the headline price picks the wrong supplier more often than people expect, and there is rarely a record of why a supplier was chosen.

List the items you need with the quantity. For each supplier enter the currency and exchange rate, delivery terms, freight, other charges, duty %, advance payment %, credit days, lead time, validity date and your own 0 to 5 rating, then each price per pack, units per pack and MOQ. The app converts everything to your unit and to AED, rounds up to whole packs and the MOQ and shows the extra units you would be left with, adds duty, freight and charges for a landed total, adds the cost of money for paying in advance (or credit for paying later) at your yearly rate, and scores price, lead time, rating and terms with weights you choose. Expired quotes and quotes with a missing price are flagged and never recommended. The Award tab gives a recommendation text you can copy, a runner-up and a split-award view that picks the cheapest supplier per item.

What is inside:

• What you need, Enter quotes, Comparison, Award, Scoring settings and How it works tabs
• CSV import of one supplier's quote at a time
• A printable comparison and award sheet, CSV exports, JSON backup
• An invented worked example with three suppliers and EXAMPLE-DATA files

It does not know any market price, duty rate or freight rate: you enter every figure. A score is a way to be consistent, not a reason to ignore quality or trust, and the award is your decision. VAT is left out of every supplier's total so they compare fairly. It is not tax or legal advice, not an FTA-approved system, and no platform or courier endorses it.

How it differs from the tender and RFQ response skill in the catalogue: that helps you write responses when you are bidding. This helps you buy: it compares quotes you receive.

Tested: every calculation was compared with an independent Python (Decimal) calculation on randomised cases, CSV edge cases (quotes, commas, Arabic text, byte order mark) were run through the importer, and the screens were driven in a headless Chromium browser at phone and desktop widths. It has not been tested on a real phone, in Safari, Firefox or Edge.
