Counter automatically checks every invoice against what you were quoted — and flags overcharges before you pay. Built for builders, contractors, and trades.
You're buying from multiple merchants, prices are rising, and nobody has time to cross-check every line. Most overcharges are small enough to miss — but over a year, they can add up to thousands.
You know you should review every invoice. But between running jobs, managing teams, and chasing deadlines, there aren't enough hours in the day.
A few quid here and there seems minor. But across hundreds of invoices a year, it's real money walking out the door.
You order from Travis Perkins, Jewson, Elliotts and more. Who's actually cheapest for each product?
Material costs are increasing. Merchants adjust prices quietly — are you always getting what you were quoted?
Counter does the tedious work so you can focus on the job. No data entry, no manual checking, no chasing.
Forward quotes and invoices via email, WhatsApp, or Telegram. Counter extracts everything automatically — supplier, prices, quantities, line items. No data entry, no scanning, no spreadsheets.
No new apps to learn. Just forward your documents the way you already do — Counter handles the rest.
Forward invoices and quotes to your unique Counter address, or connect your email account and Counter picks them up automatically — no forwarding needed.
Snap a photo or forward a PDF straight from WhatsApp. Perfect for when you're on site and an invoice comes through.
Send documents via Telegram bot. Send voice notes to Counter — ask questions or get updates without typing a word.
One view of what every supplier charges for the product you use — built automatically from your real quotes and invoices.
See who's cheapest for each product, even when merchants describe the same item differently. Your whole team knows where to buy.
Every invoice is checked against your quoted/account prices. Overcharges are flagged before you pay — not after.
Counter's AI assistant answers questions in plain English. “Who's cheapest for plasterboard?” “How much am I owed by Jewson?”
Generate professional credit notes per supplier with one click. No more awkward calls — send a clear, itemised document.
Handles pack sizes, reversed dimensions, different SKUs, brand vs generic names. Counter knows a 2400×1200 board is the same as a 1200×2400.

“I've always been on top of pricing and used to manually track all our prices on a spreadsheet, which took hours. Then I'd have to check all the invoices at the end of the month against our account prices and quotes. I couldn't believe that Counter found over £500 of price discrepancies across a couple of months, without me having to do anything!”
“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.”
Counter pays for itself. Our first user recovered over £500 in two months — that's Counter paid for in one go.
