Supplier price pressure is increasing.

Every supplier has a reason. Not every reason explains the increase.

Material, energy, labor, currency: the pressure is real and constant. But a reason to raise a price is not the same as a justification for it. ivoflow separates justified adjustments from unsupported claims.

PRICE CLAIM

+10%

The supplier demands 10% more – "the market forces it." No breakdown, no proof. Accept it and the margin is simply gone.

Success in black and white

No new system.

Just your data.

Three steps, start to finish. You send the data, we run the checks, and you get negotiation-ready arguments back. No software, no integration.

YOU SEND

Data in

2-3 commodity groups, anonymized is fine. No system access.

WE CHECK

Four checks

Market, currency, LPP, MPN – calculated automatically.

YOU GET

Arguments out

A negotiation deck or a single-case analysis.

Our four checks

Market check

Is the increase backed by the market, or has the surcharge long expired?

Currency

Is there an old exchange rate still sitting in the price?

Price deviation

Why does one plant pay more than another for the same part?

Equivalence

Which comparable part proves it can be done for less?

Arguments in hand.

Not dashboards.

Every check ends with a negotiation-ready outcome: a clear position on each claim, the evidence behind it, and the recommended next move. No interpretation needed. No analysis to build yourself.

Real negotiations. Real impact.

See what stands behind every price increase and enter negotiations with the evidence needed to challenge, validate, and defend every decision.

10%

10% requested for polymers. 8% achieved.
An automotive supplier used ivoflow to negotiate the increase 2 percentage points below the market request.

1.3%

An automotive supplier's flat 6% increase across 22 materials. The check proved only 1.3% was justified – the rest was rejected.

Supplier Claim Check: Separate justified claims from avoidable ones

Supplier price-increase claims arrive faster than most teams can check them, and each one looks plausible on its own. Under time pressure, many get approved without a real check, and avoidable increases quietly erode margin. This playbook shows how procurement teams test every claim against its real cost drivers, using market indices, currency effects, internal prices, and comparable parts to tell the justified share from the negotiable one. A worked example follows one claim from a requested +6.0% down to the 1.3% that held up. Built for CPOs, heads of procurement, and category managers who want to pay what is justified and negotiate the rest.
