An example: renewing a packaging contract
A forty-person manufacturer asks three cardboard suppliers for quotes every quarter. The quotes arrive as PDFs, priced per pallet by one supplier and per unit by the others.
- The purchasing manager drops the three quotes into the space.
- The workflow converts every price to a unit price and lines up lead times, shipping and payment terms.
- The table flags what is missing: one quote without shipping costs, one without a lead time.
- An agent drafts the request for details to that supplier, sent after review.
Outcome
The decision is made on a clean table: the purchasing manager picks the supplier, and nothing was committed without her.
