"Your suppliers walk into every negotiation knowing exactly what's driving their costs. Most procurement teams don't."

Price increases you can't validate

Suppliers cite commodity and cost pressure. Without independent data, challenging a number is guesswork.

Negotiation prep done manually

Teams spend hours pulling market data from scattered sources — and still walk in under-prepared and under-resourced.

Stale prices nobody flags

Without a system watching for it, products quietly go months — sometimes years — without being repriced.

Anatomy of a Price

Every price is a stack of drivers

A jar of peanut butter on a retail shelf is one number to a buyer — and seven to the supplier who quoted it. When the quote moves, Claros tells you which layer moved, by how much, and whether the market backs the claim.

— Every product decomposed into its real cost drivers — not one blended number
— See exactly which layer moved, by how much, and whether the market backs it
— Turn any quoted increase into its true cost impact, before you're in the room

Cost breakdown of a 454g jar of peanut butter: raw materials 72% — creamy peanut base 52%, crunchy peanut inclusions 15%, natural oil separation 5% — plus packaging 12%, other manufacturing and overhead 8%, logistics 5%, and energy 3%, totalling 100%. — Illustrative example. Claros builds the same decomposition from your own catalogue, cost structure, and supplier quotes.

Your Procurement Intelligence Application

See exactly what's behind every supplier price increase

Select your categories, and Claros decomposes any quote by raw material and cost driver exposure — commodities, energy, labour, and FX. From there, see instantly how what you pay compares to the market and to your own retail price, so every negotiation starts from data, not guesswork.

Renegotiation Potential Report

A ready-made worklist, not a spreadsheet hunt

A dedicated report flags every product that hasn't been repriced in months, ranks it by the gap between benchmark and last-paid price, and shows the specific cost drivers behind that gap — so procurement teams know exactly where to start, and exactly what to ask for.

— Ranked automatically by benchmark-to-last-paid gap
— Flags stale pricing before it becomes a margin problem
— Every flag is backed by the cost driver actually causing it

Claros Renegotiation Potential report: products not negotiated in 3 months, filterable by owner and search, showing last buy date, last buying price, current benchmark price, and benchmark vs last gap, with an expanded row showing the top cost drivers behind the gap for Peanut Butter 250 Grams Glass.

Market Trend Tracking

Every index your product depends on, at every horizon

1-month, 6-month, 1-year, and full-history trend views on every market index feeding into a product's cost stack — so a supplier's "the market moved" is something your team can check in seconds, not something they have to take on faith.

— Short and long-horizon views side by side, per index
— Tracks every raw material, energy, and logistics index a product touches
— The same data the cost-driver breakdown is built from
