Marine RFQ quote comparison software

Marine quote comparison software compares multiple supplier quotes for the same requisition, line by line, so a buyer can award the best price. Tidal reads each quote, matches it to the original lines, normalises units and pack sizes, and lets you award each line to the best supplier.

• ✓Lines every supplier quote up against every requisition line
• ✓Normalises units and pack sizes so prices compare fairly
• ✓Award line by line and assemble a split order automatically
• ✓Flags missing, substituted and excluded lines

Every supplier quote against every line

Tidal reads each returned quote, matches it back to the original requisition line, and lays the suppliers out side by side. Units and pack sizes are normalised, so kg versus lb or case versus piece no longer hides the real price, and missing or substituted lines are flagged rather than silently cheaper.

Award line by line, not quote by quote

The cheapest overall quote is rarely cheapest on every line. Tidal lets you award each line to the best supplier and assemble a split order automatically, with the codes and quantities carried through, so you capture the best price without a spreadsheet.

From comparison to PO in one flow

Once you award, Tidal generates the purchase orders to each chosen supplier from the same data and carries the order through to invoice reconciliation. Whether you are a buyer comparing vendor quotes or a supplier checking your own competitiveness, it is one flow. Live in about a week.
