Manual tracking
The old way breaks at scale
Most teams check supplier prices manually: opening PDFs, comparing line items, updating spreadsheets, and hoping someone notices when costs creep up. That might work for a few invoices. It breaks when vendors, products, and locations multiply.
What gets flagged
What CostBeacon catches
CostBeacon turns routine invoices into a short review queue: which supplier moved, which product changed, and what needs attention before month-end.
