# How Can I Track Construction Material Costs by Supplier?

You track material costs by supplier by connecting every purchase to its vendor record, letting a dashboard aggregate spend per supplier across all your active sites. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Gestão de Obras** with vendor-connected purchase data.

Comparing material costs across suppliers manually, reviewing purchase orders one by one, is slow and makes it hard to negotiate confidently from a position of full spend visibility.

## What manually comparing supplier costs costs

- Time spent manually reviewing purchase orders to compare supplier pricing
- Negotiating without full visibility into total spend with a given supplier
- Difficulty seeing how supplier pricing trends across multiple projects and time
- Missed opportunities to consolidate purchasing with the most favorable supplier

## How tracking material costs by supplier works

- Every material purchase connects to its **vendor** record across all sites
- A dashboard aggregates total spend per supplier, updating continuously
- Trends in supplier pricing become visible across multiple projects over time
- This data supports negotiation from a position of full spend visibility

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic aggregation removes the manual purchase order review process
- Full visibility into total spend strengthens negotiating position with suppliers
- Cross-project trends reveal patterns that a single project's view would miss
- This scales from a handful of suppliers to a large, diverse supplier base

| Manual supplier comparison | Automated supplier cost tracking |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Slow, limited visibility   | Aggregated across all sites      |
