Supplier Price Tracker — Monitor & Control Ingredient Costs

Track ingredient costs over time — catch margin erosion early.

PaperworkAI's Supplier Price Tracker automatically records the unit price of every item on every supplier invoice you upload. Over time, you see exactly which ingredient costs are rising, by how much, and when they changed. Hospitality operators typically recover 3–8% of food cost per year by catching supplier price increases early and negotiating or switching suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PaperworkAI extract supplier prices automatically?

When you upload an invoice, our AI reads every line item including product name, unit, quantity, and unit price. These are stored in a price database automatically — no manual entry required.

Can I track prices from multiple suppliers for the same product?

Yes. PaperworkAI links products across suppliers by name. You can view a side-by-side price comparison for the same item (e.g., coffee beans) across all your suppliers.

How do price spike alerts work?

You set a percentage threshold per product category or per specific product. When a new invoice shows a price above that threshold, you receive an alert in your Morning Briefing and optionally by email.

How far back does the price history go?

Price history is unlimited — it starts from the date of your first uploaded invoice and extends forward indefinitely. The longer you use PaperworkAI, the more valuable your price trend data becomes.
