From BOQ to Material Orders Instantly
Automatically generate per-supplier shopping lists from your confirmed BOQ. Know exactly what to order, from whom, and at what cost.
How It Works
Go from confirmed BOQ to supplier orders in four steps.
Confirm Your BOQ
Once your Bill of Quantities is finalised with all items priced and linked to suppliers, you are ready to generate shopping lists.
Auto-Split by Supplier
Quotably automatically groups your BOQ items by supplier, creating a separate shopping list for each one. No manual sorting required.
Review and Adjust
Review each supplier list, adjust quantities if needed, add notes, or remove items you already have in stock.
Export and Order
Export lists as PDFs or spreadsheets. Share directly with suppliers via email, or use them as a checklist at the trade counter.
Key Benefits
Automatic Supplier Grouping
Items are automatically grouped by supplier based on your pricing list data. Each supplier gets their own clean, organised list.
Accurate Quantities
Quantities flow directly from your confirmed BOQ, so you order exactly what you need. No over-ordering, no shortages.
Cost Visibility
See the cost per item and total per supplier. Know your material costs before you place a single order.
Export Flexibility
Export shopping lists as PDFs for printing, or spreadsheets for sending to suppliers. Share via email directly from Quotably.
Linked to Your Pricing
Shopping lists use your buy prices from pricing lists, giving you accurate cost tracking separate from your quoted sell prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are shopping lists generated?
Shopping lists are generated directly from your confirmed BOQ. Quotably reads the supplier information attached to each line item in your pricing lists and groups items accordingly. Each supplier gets a separate list with relevant items, quantities, and pricing.
Can I edit a shopping list after generating it?
Yes. You can adjust quantities, remove items you already have, add notes for specific suppliers, and make any changes needed before exporting or sending the list.
What if an item does not have a supplier assigned?
Items without a supplier assignment are grouped into an "Unassigned" list. You can then manually assign them to suppliers or handle them separately.
Can I export shopping lists to Excel?
Yes. Shopping lists can be exported as PDF for printing or as spreadsheets (CSV/Excel) for sending to suppliers or importing into their ordering systems.
Do shopping lists use buy prices or sell prices?
Shopping lists use your buy prices (cost prices) from your pricing lists. This gives you an accurate view of your material costs, separate from the sell prices shown on client quotes.
Order materials with confidence
No more guessing quantities or juggling spreadsheets. Let your BOQ do the work.
