Commanding Material Pricing Integrity: Keeping your suppliers honest and accurate on material billing
- Instantly cross-check and compare your special material pricing across your entire supplier network
- See what your suppliers have all quoted you for the same item
- Create a single order, and our system intelligently splits it across multiple suppliers, ensuring you buy each item at the lowest price within your network. Instead of ordering everything from one supplier, 3rd Armor optimizes your purchase by routing items to the best-priced distributors—maximizing savings on every order
After Purchase We:
- Monitor every line-item and price
- Verify your special price or discount has been applied
- Validate every invoice: Flag errors and increases- approve invoices billed accurately… Before You Pay.

- Easy sign-up and configuration process
- Real-time detection of distributor invoices not aligned with your expected pricing
- Dispute invoice pricing errors with the click of a button

Direct To Your Bottom Line: Spotlighting Lost Money- Before You Lose It
Intelligent Data Extraction Enhanced with AI
Setting ourselves apart, our system utilizes cutting-edge AI-infused OCR technology. When you receive an invoice from a distributor, our system recognizes it, employing AI and Machine Learning to read and match costs with your master database, ensuring unparalleled accuracy.
Your Database: Every Supplier, Every Part, Every Price
Access to the most robust, comprehensive vendor database. We build you a catalog of all suppliers, all parts specific to each supplier, and all prices specific to each part per supplier. You will now have access to current material costs, all items, all vendors.
Advanced Dispute Handling Process
Effortlessly audit and dispute invoice discrepancies with our One Click Invoice Disputing feature. Our system identifies incorrect line item prices, quarantines the invoice, and enables users to instantly email the supplier for clarification, ensuring accurate and efficient invoice management.
Know Your Actual Material Cost for Every Item & SKU- Before You Pay
Knowing your actual material costs before paying your invoices is critical to protecting your margins. Prices can fluctuate due to uncommunicated supplier increases or accidental mischarges, and these discrepancies can go unnoticed until it’s too late. With our software, you gain real-time visibility into every item and SKU, allowing you to catch price discrepancies before payment. This ensures that you’re only paying the correct amounts and protecting your business from unnecessary overcharges or hidden cost increases.
