Smarter Purchasing Starts Here
See your price sheets side by side.
Bring a few recent vendor sheets to a strategy call and we’ll show you what Pricing Intelligence finds.
Schedule Your Strategy Call →Your vendors send new price sheets every week. Northbound turns them into one clear view of where the best value is—before you place the order.
Costs move week to week. Sheets arrive in different formats, with different names for the same product and different pack sizes. Comparing them by hand is slow—so most kitchens just reorder from habit.
PDFs, spreadsheets, photos, email bodies. One vendor says “CHKN BRST BNLS,” another says “Boneless Chicken Breast.”
A 40 lb case and a 4 × 10 lb case aren’t comparable at a glance. The cheaper-looking line often isn’t.
A few cents here and there on high-volume items adds up quietly—unless someone is watching every sheet, every week.
Instead of flipping between sheets, your team sees each product on one line per vendor—with pack sizes translated into a price you can actually compare.
| Vendor | Brand | Pack Size | Case Price | Per lb | vs. Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vendor BBest Value | Farm Select | 4 × 10 lb | $112.40 | $2.81 | ↓ $0.06 |
| Vendor A | Premium Choice | 40 lb | $118.00 | $2.95 | ↑ $0.12 |
| Vendor C | House Brand | 2 × 20 lb | $121.60 | $3.04 | — |
| Vendor D | Premium Choice | 6 × 5 lb | $93.90 | $3.13 | ↑ $0.09 |
Vendor D has the lowest case price—but the smallest case. Per pound, it’s actually the most expensive option this week.
Illustrative example. Vendors, brands, and prices shown are sample data.
Pricing Intelligence is shaped around your vendors, your products, and the brands your kitchen won’t compromise on.
Your vendors keep sending price sheets exactly the way they do today.
Every pack size is converted to per-pound, per-each, or per-ounce so comparisons are honest.
See which items went up, which came down, and by how much—without hunting for it.
Lock in the brands you trust. Compare like for like, not just cheapest for cheapest.
Matched to the way your kitchen refers to products, so the view reads like your order guide.
Northbound surfaces the options. Your team makes the call on what gets ordered.
If price sheets land in your inbox every week, Pricing Intelligence turns them into a decision in minutes.
No. They keep sending price sheets the way they already do. Northbound works from what arrives.
No—Pricing Intelligence shows you the best value and what changed. Your team stays in charge of what gets ordered and from whom.
You set the brands and quality standards that matter. Comparisons respect those preferences instead of just chasing the lowest number.
