The Opportunities page helps purchase teams find profitable buying opportunities from supplier price lists. By uploading a supplier sheet, the system analyzes costs, fees, VAT, and margins to show which products are worth purchasing and which ones are not.

This page is mainly used by procurement, sourcing, and purchasing teams.

The Opportunities page allows you to:
