“Keep our parts price book current”
Quotes in. Anomalies flagged. Nothing written without approval.
Supplier quotes read and matched into your workbook, suspicious prices flagged before they reach a bid.
Why teams hand it over
Quotes arrive as PDFs and get re-typed by hand. One typo, one stale price, one unnoticed spike, and the error flows silently into every estimate built on the book.
Capable where it counts. Careful where it matters.
- Extracts line items and quote dates from PDF and Word quotes.
- Matches each item to the right workbook row, and asks when unsure, never guesses.
- Flags moves over 25%, quotes older than 45 days, year-long flatlines and outliers.
- Builds a color-coded review copy for the manager.
- Drafts chase emails for missing or stale quotes. You decide what sends.
- Backs up before every write. Writes nothing without approval.
A simulated run, on synthetic documents.
Made-up companies and numbers. The workflow is the real one.
Watch a PDF quote land in the price book, safely.

Common questions about this task
What happens if it can't match a line item?
It stops and asks. Nothing is written on a guess, and every write needs your approval.
Can it break our spreadsheet?
A timestamped backup is taken before any write, and writes target cells without touching your formulas.
How does it know a price looks wrong?
Deterministic rules: movement over 25%, quotes older than 45 days, 12-month flatlines, and outliers against comparable parts. Every flag names the rule that fired.
