How the Savings Calculator Works

Preview your potential savings in minutes. Enter your monthly spend, select a couple of vendors, pick common items (Milk, Eggs, Bread), and the calculator will illustrate how price benchmarking and purchasing controls can lower costs.

What the calculator shows

• Potential monthly and yearly savings at 10% and 15% (teams often see 10–15% savings, sometimes up to 20% with OrderGenie’s controls).
• A side-by-side price comparison for the items you pick (e.g., Milk, Eggs, Bread).
• Best price per item among the vendors you select and per-unit "potential savings" between the highest and lowest price

What you'll need

• Your estimated monthly food spend (e.g., $45,000).
• Two to three vendors you commonly buy from (for illustration).
• One or more items to compare (we prefill with Milk, Eggs, Bread).

Step-by-step

• 1. Enter monthly spend.
  The calculator displays potential savings at 10% and 15%—also broken out annually.

• 2. Choose up to 3 vendors.
  Picking at least two lets you benchmark prices line-by-line.
• 3. Pick items to compare. Start with Milk, Eggs, and Bread—toggle items on/off to see per-unit differences.
• 4. Review the table.
  • Each row shows prices per item for your selected vendors.
  • The best price is highlighted; the largest gap shows as “Up to $X / unit” potential savings.
• 5. Request a live demo.
  In the demo, we'll load your real catalogs, normalize SKUs/packs, and show the exact savings opportunities across all vendors.

How we estimate savings (methodology)

Savings tiles

• 10% savings = Monthly spend × 0.10
• 15% savings = Monthly spend × 0.15
• Annual figures multiply the monthly number by 12.

Comparison table

• The per-item best price is the lowest price among your selected vendors.
• Potential savings per unit is the difference between the highest and lowest price for that item across those vendors.
• All prices shown are example values; real pricing depends on pack sizes, freight/fuel, minimums, and regional availability.

Why real results are often better with OrderGenie

• Price compare across all suppliers (not just two or three).
• Approvals & budget guardrails to eliminate out-of-policy buys.
• Three-way match (PO → receipt → invoice) to automatically flag price/qty variances.
• Order guides & substitutions that keep analytics clean and reduce waste.
• Vendor scorecards (fill rate, on-time, price stability) to improve performance over time.

Example (illustration only)

• Monthly spend: $45,000
• 10% illustrative savings: $4,500/month ($54,000/year)
• 15% illustrative savings: $6,750/month ($81,000/year)
