AI price monitoring for procurement

Watch supplier prices, compare quotes side by side and keep each price’s history.

Use cases

Three jobs to hand to HARPA first.

01

Supplier price watch

Buy when a supplier’s price dips below your target, not when you happen to look.

  1. Open the supplier’s product page and the Automate tab.
  2. Click Set up next to Price drops. Check the value under Watch, or Pick it on the page.
  3. Set Notify me when to Below… and your target, Check to Every hour, Tell me by to Email or Notification.
  4. Open the monitor any time for its 24 h, 7 d or 30 d chart.

Good to knowOne monitor watches one price, in a hidden tab while Chrome is open. Checking every few minutes can trigger a site’s captcha.

02

Compare quotes across tabs

Five suppliers, five layouts. Pull the same fields from each page into one table.

  1. Open each supplier’s offer page in tabs.
  2. Make a command that asks for unit price, minimum order, lead time and terms, as JSON.
  3. Choose Run on tabs…, select Like this page, answer its questions once and Run on N tabs.
  4. Export CSV: one row per page, one column per field.

Good to knowEach answer is capped at 4,000 characters. Bulk runs use HARPA AI cloud credits or your own OpenAI key, not a ChatGPT login.

03

A weekly price summary

A buying meeting needs last week’s prices, not today’s. Keep each one’s history and write it up once a week.

  1. Set a price monitor on each supplier page; each keeps its own history.
  2. Export records (CSV) from a monitor’s ⋮ menu for the spreadsheet.
  3. Or schedule a command that reads the pages every Monday and writes one summary.
  4. The summary lands in your Inbox.

Good to knowMonitors and schedules run while Chrome is open. One monitor watches one price.
