CostBeacon (Cost Beacon) supplier price tracking dashboard showing invoice-backed price change alerts and margin protection

The old way

Spreadsheets break. Invoices keep coming.

Squinting at PDFs, re-keying line items, hoping someone spots a price creep — that works until vendors, products, and locations multiply.

What gets flagged

Messy bill in. Short review queue out.

Which costs moved, which products changed, and what needs attention before month-end — without digging through PDFs.
