The problem

The invoices you don't check are the ones costing you money

Small overcharges, forgotten quotes, quiet price rises. None of them look like much on a single invoice. But across a year, they can cost thousands.

No time to check every line

You're running jobs, managing teams, and chasing deadlines. Checking invoices line by line is the first thing that gets dropped.

Small errors add up fast

An incorrect price here and there. Across hundreds of invoices a year, that can be thousands in lost profit.

Quotes get forgotten

You negotiate a good price, but then the invoice comes through at a different rate. Who's keeping track?

Prices rise without warning

Merchants adjust prices quietly between orders. Without checking every invoice, you're paying more than you agreed to.

Before & after

Where your margin goes and how to keep it

Without Counter
  • Invoices pile up and get paid without checking
  • No idea if the price on the invoice matches the quote
  • Overcharges go unnoticed for weeks or months
  • Credits go unclaimed because nobody has time to chase
  • Margin leaks out slowly across every order
With Counter
  • Every invoice checked line by line against your quoted prices
  • Overcharges flagged before you pay, not after
  • Material pricing becomes visible across all merchants
  • Credit requests ready to send with one click
  • Your margin stays where it belongs

in overcharges found across 67 invoices in 2 months
These weren't big mistakes. They were small pricing discrepancies across 5 suppliers, the kind that normally go completely unnoticed. Incorrect pricing here and there. Counter caught every one of them.

What Counter does

One job: protect your margin

Every invoice checked before you pay

Each line compared against your quoted prices. Overcharges are flagged with the exact amount, so you never pay more than you agreed to.

A price book that builds itself

Every quote and invoice feeds into one live price book across all your suppliers. Always know what you should be paying and who's cheapest.

Credit recovery without the hassle

Professional credit request PDFs per supplier, showing exactly what was quoted vs invoiced. Send it and get back what you're owed.

Quick answers when you need them

Ask Counter anything: “Who's cheapest for plasterboard?” “How much am I owed by Jewson?” Instant answers, no reports to run.

Who it's for

Built for people who build things

If you're spending £5K+ a month with merchants and don't have time to check every invoice, Counter is for you.

Developers

Running multiple projects with different suppliers. You need one place to track prices and catch errors.

Builders

Managing material costs across jobs. Counter makes sure your margins aren't being eroded by quiet price rises.

Trades

Plumbers, electricians, joiners. If you're buying supplies regularly, you're almost certainly overpaying somewhere.

What people are saying

Don't take our word for it

“We regularly order from different merchants but it's hard to keep track of who is cheapest for what. Counter really helped us get a handle on where we should be ordering from.”

“The credit request PDFs are a game changer. Instead of ringing up and arguing, I just send the document. Professional, itemised, done.”

FAQ

Got questions?

Minutes, not days. You'll get a unique Counter email address (and links for WhatsApp and Telegram). Start forwarding your quotes and invoices and Counter builds your price book automatically from day one. There's no data migration and nothing to configure.
Counter works with any UK builders' merchant or supplier: Travis Perkins, Jewson, Elliotts, Selco, Toolstation, and more. If they send you an invoice, Counter can read it. We handle different invoice formats, pack sizes, and product naming conventions automatically.
Not at all. Counter fits into your existing workflow. It can automatically collect quotes and invoices from your inbox, or you can forward them via email, WhatsApp, or Telegram. There's no new app to learn and no login required to submit documents.
Yes. Your invoices and pricing data are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties, and your supplier pricing is completely private to your account. Only you and your authorised team members can access your information.
Counter is still valuable with a single supplier. It checks every invoice against your quoted prices, so you'll catch overcharges regardless. That said, most builders use two or more merchants, and Counter's supplier comparison features become even more powerful when you do.
