Review private quotes.
Keep their content on your device.
A practical guide to local supplier quote comparison: browser processing, OCR, source-based review, backup limits and how local checks differ from cloud AI.
When local review is useful
Supplier quotations may contain private unit prices and negotiated terms. A local browser tool like our supplier quote comparison tool can extract, calculate and save these values without transmitting their content to a cloud model.
What still uses the network
Your browser downloads this site, PDF workers, OCR code and the selected language model from this same website origin. The host may log network metadata such as IP address and requested paths. Local processing does not mean zero network activity, encrypted storage or a compliance certification.
Local rules and general AI
A general AI can help summarize and organize quotes. QuoteCheck instead supplies a fixed comparison workflow, decimal calculations, explicit unknown costs and source-linked corrections, without writing prompts. These are product conveniences, not exclusive technology or a claim that all AI products upload files.
Save the work and the source separately
Structured values and text snapshots save locally. Original files are saved only when you choose “Keep source files on this device.” Without them, reopening a task shows snapshots and requires reattaching matching files for source-based review. JSON backups do not include originals.
Five steps
- Add supported quote files or paste a table.
- Map columns once when necessary.
- Correct uncertain fields beside their sources.
- Confirm requirements, unit relationships and service scope.
- Export the report and download a structured backup.
No remote model calls, quote uploads or session recording are enabled. The workspace and recovery pages load no analytics. Public pages may load optional, consent-based analytics only if this deployment enabled it; nothing loads before you explicitly agree. If cloud assistance is introduced later, it will require a separate explicit data-transfer choice.
Open the local tool →From quote review to procurement handoff
Question text, replies and commercial terms remain local with the task. Back up before clearing browser storage and close older writable tabs: an old tab’s explicit ‘clear all’ action can still erase newer records. Recovery files do not contain original source binaries. Local processing still downloads same-origin scripts, workers and OCR models; it is not a zero-network promise. The workspace and recovery pages load no analytics. Public pages may load optional, consent-based analytics only if this deployment enabled it; nothing loads before you explicitly agree.
