ROI & Proof
Adjust the sliders, do the arithmetic
We're not asking you to trust a claim. Plug in your own spend, your own team size, your own cycle times — and let the calculator show you what changes. Every assumption is visible; nothing is hidden behind a "typical customer" average.

How we count
Honest arithmetic, visible assumptions
The 3–4% savings target is on routed spend — what we call the “middle band.” This isn't your top commodity (you already negotiate that hard) or your tail items (too small to move the needle). It's the 30–50% of spend where competitive quoting actually moves the price — categories with enough qualified vendors that a proper RFQ round creates real price tension.
We don't count savings the team would have found anyway. If your buyer was already running a three-vendor round on a category, the agent doesn't claim credit for the price they got. The savings come from the categories that weren't getting competitive rounds at all — because nobody had the hours.
Hours saved assume 240 requisitions per year (20 per month) and that the agent cuts per-requisition effort by roughly 70%. Your actual numbers depend on how many categories you run through the system and how manual your current process is. The sliders let you adjust both.
Example: ₹100 cr manufacturer, bearings category
Annual purchase spend: ₹100 cr
Middle-band share (routable & competitive): 40% = ₹40 cr
Savings at 3.5% on routed spend: ₹1.4 cr/year
Requisitions per month: 20 × hours saved per req: 5.6 hrs = 1,344 hrs/year
Cycle time: 8–12 days → 3 days
The ₹1.4 cr saving pays for the ₹30K/month plan 39× over. The 1,344 hours are a full-time buyer you don't need to hire.
Cycle-time benchmark
From 8–12 days to 3
Where a typical procurement cycle spends its time today — and what changes when the agent handles the legwork.
Before: 8–12 days typical
- 1–2 days: identifying and calling vendors
- 2–3 days: chasing quotes and follow-ups
- 1–2 days: re-keying data into spreadsheets
- 1–2 days: building the comparative (landed cost, terms, specs)
- 1–3 days: routing for approval, waiting for sign-off
After: 3 days with ThirdQuote
- Day 1: Agent contacts vendors on WhatsApp, collects quotes with automatic follow-ups
- Day 2: Comparative built automatically — landed cost, freight, credit terms calculated
- Day 3: Approval routed via email, sign-off recorded, PO generated
