The supplier sends the price list as a PDF, laid out differently every time, and somebody keys it in.
Parsing and reverse engineering
The numbers are on the screen, there is no export button, and somebody retypes them by hand.

A floor, not a quote. The binding figure is fixed after we scope the task, and that scoping is free.
Two more signs this is you
Somebody else has already turned this down, because the source has no API.
Here is what we build first
The first version is deliberately small, and complete enough to run on real data.
One source, one schedule
Structured output
Survives a layout change
Tells you when it breaks
The expensive part is rarely obvious
Everything turns on whether the source wants to be read. An open page with stable markup is cheap. A login, a rate limit and a bot check are a different job. Second factor: how often the source changes. That decides whether you are buying a script or a thing somebody has to keep alive, and it is better said before the start than discovered together in month two. Third: how the result gets checked. No number at all beats a number that quietly drifted, so validation goes into the first version. Volume and schedule come last and barely move the figure.
We have built this, and it still runs
One screen instead of manual exports
No more manual exports and spreadsheets: one screen where every metric assembles itself on a schedule.
- What came of it
- The metrics assemble themselves from APIs, databases and parsers on a schedule, and land on one screen.
20+ automations on BAS
A tender parser and marketplace auto-publishing. Typing things in by hand has all but stopped.
- What came of it
- Tenders are found and sorted automatically, cards go live without manual entry, hours of routine disappeared.
These bills do not come from us
The provider invoices you directly. There is no margin on top, because that money never passes through us.
We do not resell capacity, so we earn nothing when your bill grows.
You can leave here with a figure
The page you are on answers the first question. Four left, and you see the figure without telling us anything.
