One extraction moment

What CostBeacon reads on every bill

Not a schema dump — three questions that make alerts trustworthy.

Who & when

Supplier + invoice date

Know which vendor created pressure and when the bill landed.

What you bought

Description, qty, unit

Match recurring items and normalize cases, kg, lb, and boxes.

What you paid

Unit cost, fees, discounts

Detect true price moves — including freight and disappearing discounts.

Workflow

Upload. Extract. Review what moved.

Three steps — no spreadsheet archaeology. Optional QuickBooks Online sync when you need it.

Upload invoices

Add PDFs, scans, and photos from the vendors you already buy from.

Extract & match line items

Structured vendor, product, quantity, and unit-cost data — grouped across recurring invoices.

Review price changes

Alerts surface what moved with invoice evidence attached. Compare vendors before month-end.
