Suppliers know they’re being compared.
Every supplier knows its quote will be shown beside other options. That competition helps produce a better price.
About Us
We’ve been on both sides of the quote.
Our team has worked in industrial distribution, facility services, manufacturing, and procurement technology.
Why we built Installed View.
We’ve sold to plants and bought for them. We’ve seen the same part quoted at very different prices depending on the buyer, the supplier, and the time available to shop.
Installed View gives regional facilities a practical way to compare the market before they buy and to check past purchases against real pricing.
How we actually work.
We never mark up supplier prices.
The price a supplier gives us is the price you see. You buy directly from the supplier you choose.
Suppliers fund the service.
Suppliers pay to see relevant demand and compete for the work. Facilities use Installed View for free.
We check each purchasing option.
We ask the supplier to confirm the item, price, availability and lead time. We identify who is selling it and flag anything we could not confirm.
We look beyond authorized distribution.
We also check independent distributors, potential equivalents for your facility to assess, remanufacturers, rebuild shops, and surplus inventory.
We source industrial services too.
Our service-provider network covers repairs, field work, machining, fabrication, calibration, cleaning, and other plant needs.
What we do with your information.
We do not sell your data to competitors or publish what your facility pays. We use the information you share to source options and prepare your benchmark.
