Find the margin leaks hiding in your quote book.
Send a read-only export of your catalog and quote/order history. Caliprice returns a ranked report of below-cost revenue, under-margin lines, and the SKUs your reps price inconsistently — so you can fix the leaks.
We measured a $454M distributor's full year of quotes. Here's what their book hid.
Mid-market distributors leak an estimated 100–300 basis points of margin a year (Distribution Strategy Group). We didn't model an average — we measured one distributor's actual book.
of revenue shipped below cost — lines the system never flagged.
of revenue priced under 20% margin — thin deals stacking up unnoticed.
margin on the identical 6″ pipe — one buyer below cost, another at +94%, across 30 customers in a year.
Recoverable gross margin, measured from their own won deals and capped conservatively — no line priced above what another customer already paid for that exact part. At a distributor's ~3% net margin, it drops almost straight to the bottom line. Even a quarter point of recovered price is roughly an 8% lift in operating profit.

Distributors who quote by hand across a big catalog
Best fit: 10,000+ SKUs, outside sales quoting by hand, branch-level price overrides, and an ERP you can export quote history from.
Sending us your quote history is a serious ask. Here's how we treat it.
Do you need access to our ERP or systems?
No. You send a one-time, read-only export in any format. We never connect to your systems.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes — we provide a mutual NDA before you send anything. You don't have to draft it.
Who can see our data?
Only the people running your audit. It's single-tenant and never shared, sold, or used to help a competitor.
Is our data used to train any model?
No. We analyze your export to build your report — we never use it to train models.
How long do you keep it?
We delete your export whenever you ask, and by default once your report is delivered.
What does it commit us to?
Nothing. The audit is free, the report is yours either way, and there's no obligation.
