Supplier Price List Automation

Catch supplier cost increases before they quietly eat your margin.

Upload a supplier price list and Arovon extracts every line, matches it to your internal SKUs, and shows you only what changed — sorted by what it does to your margin. No 9,000-line spreadsheet to re-read. No blind import into your ERP.

From $229/mo. Review-first by default — nothing is written to your systems without your approval.

How it works

Five steps from supplier file to safe update.

01

Ingest

Upload an Excel, CSV, or PDF price list. Tell Arovon whether it's a full replacement or a delta-only file, and confirm currency and effective date. Supplier layouts are remembered, so the next file is near-automatic.

02

Extract

Arovon captures supplier SKU, description, list price, UOM, pack size, price breaks, currency, and effective date — the fields that decide your landed cost.

03

Match

Each line is mapped to your internal SKU with a confidence score. Confirm a match once and the alias is saved, so matching gets faster every file.

04

Review deltas

See increases, decreases, new items, missing items, and unmatched rows in one queue, sorted by margin impact in dollars. Compare old vs. new cost and resulting margin before approving.

05

Export

Generate an ERP-ready cost file, a webshop price update, and a plain-language summary of what changed. Reviewed, approved, and yours to import.

What's under the hood

Built for the messy reality of supplier files.

File formats

Excel, CSV, and PDF, including the inconsistent spreadsheets suppliers actually send.

Saved supplier layouts

Each supplier's column format stays attached to your account for fast repeat processing.

Cost-critical fields

List price, UOM, pack size, price breaks, currency, and effective dates all captured.

Multi-currency

Map imported-goods pricing to your base currency at intake.

Effective-date handling

Schedule a future change so next month's prices don't overwrite today's.

Full-replacement vs. delta

Handled separately, so a partial list never creates phantom discontinued items.

Margin-aware review

Old cost, new cost, sell price, and resulting margin shown side by side.

Safe exports

ERP-ready cost files and webshop updates, with no direct write-back unless you turn it on.

Your data stays yours

Supplier files are never used to train models.

The principle

The delta is the product.

Purchasing teams don't need another 9,000-line spreadsheet. They need to know which costs moved, which increases threaten margin, which new items need mapping, and which rows weren't safe to match automatically. That's all this tool shows you.

1

Wrong matches don't get applied.

Uncertain matches are flagged for review, never silently committed.

2

UOM and pack differences are mandatory review fields.

“Per 100 vs each” is exactly how silent cost errors creep in.

3

Full-replacement and delta files are handled separately

This avoids phantom discontinued items from partial supplier updates.

4

Effective dates stay visible

A future change doesn't overwrite today's cost too early.

5

Every line is reconciled.

9,140 in, 9,140 accounted for — nothing disappears quietly.

Margin impact

See which cost changes matter first.

This is not just price comparison. It is margin protection, sorted by business impact so the highest-risk changes are reviewed first.

Common supplier-file risks

Catch the mistakes buyers already worry about.

These are the quiet price-list issues that create cost errors, bad margin math, and unsafe ERP imports.

!

Per 100 vs each

Unit-of-measure shifts are flagged before cost math is trusted.

!

Pack-size changes

Case, carton, each, and minimum-order changes stay visible in review.

!

Currency mismatch

Imported price lists can be mapped to your base currency before export.

!

Future effective date

Next month’s prices do not overwrite today's cost too early.

!

Delta-only vs full file

Partial updates are not treated as full replacements.

!

Changed supplier alias

Supplier SKU changes are reviewed before being saved as mappings.

Sample delta report

After processing, your team receives a review queue, matched output, import-ready files, and a plain-language summary of what changed.

One platform

The more supplier files you run, the smarter the matching gets.

Price List Automation runs on the same extraction and SKU-matching foundation as Arovon Product Data Automation. Every match you confirm makes the next supplier file faster and more accurate — and the same supplier-SKU mappings improve catalog loading, cross-referencing, and order matching too. You're building a matching asset that compounds.

Questions

Common questions from purchasing teams.

What file formats can I upload?+

Excel, CSV, and PDF, including the inconsistently formatted spreadsheets suppliers tend to send. Arovon remembers each supplier's layout for faster repeats.

How accurate is the SKU matching?+

Every match carries a confidence score. High-confidence matches are one click to confirm; uncertain ones are flagged, not applied. Confirmed matches save as aliases, so accuracy improves over time.

Does it write changes directly into my ERP?+

Not by default. Arovon generates an import-ready cost file and webshop update you apply on your terms. Direct write-back is an opt-in for Enterprise.

What happens with currencies and price breaks?+

Both are captured at intake. Map an imported price list to your base currency; tiered pricing is extracted per line, not flattened.

Will my supplier data train AI models?+

No. Your files produce your results and are never used for model training.

Which ERPs do you support?+

Arovon exports import-ready files in your ERP's expected format, so it works alongside most systems. Direct connectors are handled as Enterprise integrations.
