Nils Price Inquiry Clerk

Getting three comparable quotes means writing the same inquiry three times and then converting three differently formatted replies into a comparable form. Nils takes on exactly that: he writes the inquiry from the item and quantity, sends it to the selected suppliers, and enters the replies into a shared comparison table as they arrive.

What Nils takes on

  • Writes the price inquiry from the item and quantity, ready to send to the selected suppliers.
  • Sends the inquiry only after your approval.
  • Pulls price, delivery time and terms out of every reply that comes in.
  • Enters the replies side by side into a comparison table, so quotes can genuinely be compared.

What Nils needs from you

Nils starts with a supplier list and the item description, plus access to a mailbox for sending and receiving.

The first few weeks

From day one, the item and the supplier list turn into the inquiry along with the comparison table. Over the first few weeks it becomes clear which suppliers reply reliably and completely, and that feeds into the next round of inquiries.

What changes

  • Every inquiry goes out to all suppliers at the same quality, not worded differently three times.
  • You see every inquiry before it is sent.
  • Quotes arrive side by side in comparable form instead of being reformatted one by one.
