A Buyer's Editor to Fix B2B Procurement PDF Hell with API and MCP
22+ years as a Software engineer/programmer. For a reason that only life can explain, in the last 8 years i went from Adobe Flash Specialist to owning a small solar installation business and a small electric and plumbing materials. o.O We had a problem every time that we had to resupply or shop for new goods. In Brazil, things are manual in B2B and restricted to PDF Quotations/Proforma negotiations. Nobody has ecommerce, only the middlemen that resell what they buy from the factory with their margins on top. For better margins, direct from the factory is the way to go. Long story…

OrbitQuote reads the quotes exactly as they arrive — PDF, screenshot, Excel, WhatsApp — and cross-checks them item by item. You turn manual, repetitive work into time and margin. Purchase order ready per supplier, nothing retyped. The cost of the process becomes margin.

It’s a one-time payment: no hidden subscription, no auto-renewal, no fine print. If it’s not for you, just stop here. No rollout, no item registration, no team training. Between creating an account and seeing your first savings on screen: minutes — not weeks of…from orbitquote.com
In the maker’s words, at launch
22+ years as a Software engineer/programmer. For a reason that only life can explain, in the last 8 years i went from Adobe Flash Specialist to owning a small solar installation business and a small electric and plumbing materials. o.O We had a problem every time that we had to resupply or shop for new goods. In Brazil, things are manual in B2B and restricted to PDF Quotations/Proforma negotiations. Nobody has ecommerce, only the middlemen that resell what they buy from the factory with their margins on top. For better margins, direct from the factory is the way to go. Long story short. We wasted 2 weeks on a single supplier for just one order. On the supplier side, everything is a 100+- PDF pages catalog. One PDF page could have 100+ products that you have to manually extract into Excel with the product code (sku)(even with chatgpt and a gazillion of .final.final_right.final_corrected.xlsx(10).xlsx ), to simply ask for the price and minimum items for order >> receive another PDF >> Excel again to see prices, quantities, adjustments and even mistakes of items we didn't quote. It was purchasing hell! So I built OrbitQuote to solve this. We used and validated it in our own shop. Today, OrbitQuote extracts catalogs, quotations/budgets/proforma invoices, excel files, pdf, etc, into a live editor that you can quickly see your order changes and send back in seconds only what you want to buy. From days to minutes. We also have built OrbitQuote Compare, which lets you compare the same products across multiples suppliers and choose the bast purchasing strategy. It's seams simples. It's not. Every suppliers writes the product in a different way. OrbitQuote understand this and aggregates the same product and choose the best fit automatically. I closed the Shop and Solar installation business and i'm focused 100% on OrbitQuote. All our users need to do, it's drop their files and done, 95% of the boring work is done. No paywall to check out. Just register;

- ISI spent a few weeks building a private label brand for Amazon – AMA2018 · ▲27
Hey there HN! So for the last few weeks I decided I wanted to learn more about selling on Amazon and FBA - so I did what any normal hacker would do. I bought a website - https://www.chargeduck.com - Wrote some funny copy (Well I think its funny, but I suppose thats subjective) and then I went a step further. I called up suppliers, had samples made, designed packaging and even through some of that cheeky copy on the box. As I've been talking to people over the last week or two - especially other entrepreneurs its become apparent that this is a world a lot of people don't understand…

hey hn, I have wasted too much time in my career creating PDF generation systems for invoices, quotes, activity summary, etc... I created this product so that I never waste my time on that again I hope I can help folks with this product, what do you think?
- BABuilt a premium directory dedicated to high-quality tools2024 · findcool.tools · ▲7
This is a previous project I decided to relaunch. There's tons of directories that accept all submissions, but I feel like that just waters down the platform. It also isn't fair for the amazingly built tools and services. I pivoted to a premium-only directory and feel like charging a small fee, while it might take longer to build the portfolio of listed tools, they'll be of much higher quality than other platforms.

Hi HN folks, We've put together an API, to get data on B2B partnerships, it runs off the same infrastructure as our search app. It's very early and we’re looking for feedback.

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
