Vendor Price Alerts
Overview
NEXOS tracks unit prices across all processed invoices and alerts you when a vendor's price for a specific item exceeds your defined threshold.
How It Works
As invoices are processed, NexosIQ records vendor, item description, unit, and unit price for every line item. When a subsequent invoice from the same vendor contains the same item at a price above your configured threshold, an alert is triggered.
Configuring Alerts
Navigate to Settings → Price Alerts. Set a percentage threshold for price increase detection. Alerts are delivered via email, push notification, and in-app notification center.
Use Cases
- Catch supplier price increases before they compound
- Identify substitution fraud (same item, different SKU, higher price)
- Track commodity price trends across vendors over time
