How it works

A commercial review, not an instant price comparison

This is a commercial print procurement review. Nothing is sent automatically. BuyerAI structures and assesses the print purchasing information you provide, and Rob Whitham checks every finding before a report is released.

Send one invoice, several documents, or up to 12 months of print spend data — the more you provide, the broader the findings.

Start your Print Spend Review

What you can send

One invoice, several documents, or a year of print spend

For the most comprehensive review, provide up to 12 months of print purchasing information. One recent invoice or quotation is enough to get started.

The more information you provide, the more effectively we can assess pricing, specifications, production methods, ordering behaviour, consolidation and wider procurement opportunities. No special template or formatting is required — a spreadsheet covering many orders and suppliers is ideal for larger datasets.

Your information is treated as confidential and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Data Retention Policy.

  • Print invoices
  • Supplier quotations
  • Excel or CSV spend exports
  • Purchasing histories
  • Tender or pricing schedules
  • Print specifications
  • Multiple documents together
  • Up to 12 months of print spend

How it works

Five steps from your print data to a commercial review

  1. 01

    Upload

    Send whatever print purchasing information you have: invoices, supplier quotations, Excel or CSV spend exports, purchasing histories, tender pricing schedules or specifications. This can range from one document to up to 12 months of purchasing data.

  2. 02

    Extract

    BuyerAI reads the documents and structures the products, specifications, quantities, suppliers and prices across every transaction supplied. Anything unclear is flagged rather than assumed.

  3. 03

    Assess

    The purchasing is assessed against suitable production methods and current market pricing, producing estimated market values and ranges alongside a pricing confidence rating.

  4. 04

    Human review

    Rob Whitham checks the extraction, corrects it where needed, tests the assumptions and decides whether the findings are commercially realistic.

  5. 05

    Report

    You receive a written commercial review covering current spend, estimated market value, specification observations and practical next steps.

What the review covers

We assess the price, the specification and the buying process

Price

Whether the current price looks commercially competitive for the specification and quantity supplied.

Specification

Whether the material, weight, finishing and format still suit how the item is actually used.

Production method

Whether litho, digital or another route would be more cost-effective at your volumes.

Ordering process

Whether quantities, order frequency and call-off arrangements are working in your favour.

Delivery

Whether delivery, handling and packing charges are proportionate and could be consolidated.

Procurement opportunities

Whether similar items bought separately across departments could be brought together.
