The comparison desk

Put every proposal on the same footing.

YOUR COMPARISON DESK

Same inputs.
A much clearer comparison.

Bring actual quotes. Keep the scope consistent. See which assumptions change the answer.

COMPARE TWO EXAMPLE QUOTES

The headline rate
isn’t the whole bill.

Example: 1,000 orders per month
Monthly costs	Quote A	Quote B
Pick & pack	$2,000$2 / order	$2,400$2.40 / order
Storage	$700	$200
Receiving	$200	$150
Monthly minimum	$3,000	$2,500
Estimated total	$3,000	$2,750

Quote B costs $250 less per month, even with a higher pick & pack rate.
