Side-by-side evaluation

Compare materials on the things that decide the job

Price, lead time, finish and technical data, side by side.

Put shortlisted materials next to each other and compare what actually decides a specification — price per square metre, lead time, technical performance, finish and availability.

Compare — Price, lead time, finish and technical data, side by side.

01 / What it does

Compare, in practice

Stop losing days to mismatched datasheets: Compare puts price, lead time and performance side by side, so the winning material — and the reason for it — is obvious.

01 / 04

Justify the decision in one screenshot

Normalised €/m² lets you defend a choice to a client without opening five separate PDFs.

Specs normalised into one format — two datasheets finally align.

02 / 04

Stop losing jobs to slow delivery

Lead time sits next to price, so you catch the eight-week delivery that would have blown the deadline.

Lead time sits next to price, where decisions actually get made.

03 / 04

Prove compliance without a phone call

Slip rating, absorption, thickness and certification are laid out ready for instant sign-off.

Every compliance value is there — slip, abrasion, thickness, format.

04 / 04

Send a decision, not a debate

Export a clean comparison sheet the client can approve immediately, with no back-and-forth.

Export a branded PDF the client can sign off in one look.

02 / How it works
01

Shortlist

Bring every real option into one place, with nothing left off the list.

  • Add candidates from search, from a photo match, or straight from a supplier catalog page.
  • Group by application — floor, wall, wet area — so you are comparing genuinely interchangeable options.
02

Compare

See the trade-off between price, delivery and performance in one glance, not five PDFs.

  • Differences are highlighted instead of buried, so the trade-off between price and performance is obvious.
  • Add your own columns for installation cost, waste factor or client preference.
03

Decide

Move from decision to document in one step, with the reasoning already on record.

  • Mark the chosen option and the rejected ones stay on the record as evidence of due diligence.
  • The decision flows into the moodboard, quote and project spec in one step.
03 / In depth

Decide with data, not with a stack of PDFs

Every hour spent squinting at mismatched datasheets is an hour not spent closing the sale. Compare normalises the attributes — format, thickness, finish, slip rating, water absorption, PEI class, price per square metre, lead time — into one table so the trade-off is visible in a single view.

Commercial and technical criteria in the same view

A material that fails on lead time costs the project regardless of how well it scores on paper. Compare puts lead time, availability and price next to the technical values so specification and procurement stop being two separate arguments.

A defensible record of the decision

A decision nobody can defend six months later is a decision that comes back to cost you time. When someone asks in month six why this material was chosen, the evidence is still there — the alternatives, the criteria and the reasoning.

04 / Use cases

02 / 03

Tender evaluation

Line up submitted equivalents against the specified product to check genuine compliance.

03 / 03

Client presentations

Present two or three curated options with clear reasons instead of a folder of PDFs.

05 / Who it's for

Compare is built for the people who specify, buy and sell materials.

Price, lead time, finish and technical data, side by side.

06 / Questions

Frequently asked

Can clients see the comparison?+

Yes — comparisons export as branded presentation sheets or can be shared through the client portal.

Which attributes can I compare?+

Dimensions and format, thickness, finish, colour, slip resistance, water absorption, wear rating, certifications, price, packaging and lead time — plus any custom field your catalog carries.

Can I compare products from different suppliers?+

Yes. That is the main use — normalising different vendors' data into one comparable table.

Can I share a comparison with a client?+

Yes, as a shareable view or inside a moodboard, so the client sees the same evidence you do.
