The math is simple

A purchasing agent spends ~15 minutes manually entering and analyzing each vendor quote. With 10 quotes a week, that's 2.5 hours of manual work — every week.

Purchasing Notebook does it in 10 seconds per quote. That's 10+ hours back every month, per buyer.

At $39/seat/month, it pays for itself after the first week.

Built by Procurement Professionals

We didn't guess what purchasing teams need — we lived it.

Purchasing Notebook was built by a team with years of hands-on experience in purchasing and supply chain management. We've managed vendor relationships, analyzed thousands of quotes, and spent countless hours building spreadsheets that Purchasing Notebook automates in seconds.

We've worked across aerospace, heavy industrial, and medical device companies operating under FDA and other regulatory requirements. We built this tool because we got tired of the same manual processes — and we knew there was a better way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your pricing and supplier data is never shared, sold, or used for any purpose outside your account. You own your data — export it or delete your entire account at any time.

Purchasing Notebook uses a proprietary PDF processing engine to read any vendor quote PDF — there’s no template or format requirement. The extraction engine handles the wide variety of layouts, table structures, and terminology that vendors use. If you can read the quote, so can we.

There’s nothing to install and no IT involvement required. Sign up, drop a quote PDF, and you’ll have structured data in 10 seconds. Your team can be up and running in minutes.

After 30 days, you choose a plan or your account pauses. Your data stays safe — nothing is ever shared. There’s no surprise charge because we don’t collect a credit card upfront.

A buyer spends roughly 15 minutes manually processing and analyzing each vendor quote. At just 10 quotes a week, that’s 10+ hours per month of manual work — per buyer. Purchasing Notebook costs less than two hours of a buyer’s time per month and gives back dozens.
