Compare Suppliers Without the Spreadsheet Mess

Enter supplier names, score a few criteria, and optionally weight what matters most. You’ll get a ranked comparison you can actually use in a decision meeting.

INPUTS

Suppliers + scores

Use a simple 1–5 scale. If you can’t justify a score in one sentence, it’s a research gap.

Weight criteria

Turn off weights if you want a straight average.

RESULTS

Comparison table

A clean ranking you can bring into a decision meeting.

TOP RANKED
Supplier A
Score: 3.69 / 5

If this feels wrong, it’s usually because weights don’t match reality—or a criterion needs real data (lead times, failure rates, switching cost).

PRACTICAL NOTE

If two suppliers are close, pick the one with lower operational risk—or use the runner-up as leverage in the contract.

When to use this

Best for quick, defensible decisions—not perfect math.

USE CASE

Before renewals

Build leverage. A real alternative changes the negotiation tone immediately.

USE CASE

During vendor selection

Keep the conversation anchored on what matters—not who tells the best story.

USE CASE

When teams disagree

Make trade-offs explicit: price vs reliability vs risk. No more vibes-only debates.

FAQ

Short answers. Practical intent.

+How should I score each criterion?

Use a simple 1–5 scale. 3 is “acceptable,” 5 is “excellent.” If you can’t justify a score in one sentence, you don’t know yet—go get the info.

+Should price be weighted the highest?

Only if switching is easy and failures are cheap. If reliability or delivery risk can stop revenue, price should not dominate the decision.

+Do you store this data?

No. This tool is front-end only. Your inputs stay in your browser.
