Supplier A quotes a lower unit price, B promises quick delivery, and C offers deferred payment. Choosing the smallest number can hide minimum orders, delivery charges and a different scope. Yasnora AI can help draft a reviewable comparison from text you are permitted to use: Yasnora AI. The purchase decision remains yours.
1. Define one requirement: quantity, specification, delivery point and required date
For example, 200 identical components by 15 October. Without a common baseline, even correct prices are incomparable.
2. Extract the same fields from each offer: unit price, currency, VAT, minimum order, delivery cost and time, payment, warranty and offer validity
Ask Yasnora to say “not specified” when a field is missing. Prompt: “Compare the supplied offers using the same fields. Cite the source excerpt for each value. Do not convert currency without a specified rate. List scope differences and questions separately.”
3. Calculate total cost for the needed quantity
Illustrative example: A quotes RUB 480 per unit but requires 1,000 units. B quotes RUB 520 from 200 units plus RUB 8,000 delivery. For 200 units B costs RUB 112,000 before other costs; A's minimum purchase is RUB 480,000 and leaves 800 extra units in stock. This does not prove B is the better choice: timing, quality and future demand still need checking.
4. Separate facts from risks
If B needs 12 days and the goods are needed in 10, flag the timing risk. If C offers deferred payment, verify fees, security and the actual due date. Do not assign a “reliability score” without evidence.
5. End with questions for each supplier and a short decision memo: confirmed terms, unknowns, scenarios and constraints
A responsible person checks figures against original offers and approves the choice.
The basic workflow uses available chat with manually supplied text. File handling, team knowledge and external actions depend on feature status, plan and settings. It does not assume that Yasnora reads email or contacts suppliers automatically. Current feature boundaries: Yasnora.
