Operators who need to quote quickly and accurately while keeping hazardous material and handling requirements fully in check
You are leaving projects on the table because you cannot get to a real price fast enough.
A customer asks for pricing on a formulation. Your team starts sourcing feedstocks, checking lead times, calling suppliers, and building the cost model. By the time you have a real number, the customer has moved on. Tenkara keeps your materials, approved suppliers, and pricing history organized and immediately actionable. When a request comes in, the sourcing is already done. Quote generation that used to take days drops to hours, and the customers who used to go elsewhere start asking you first.
Your feedstock costs are moving. Your quoted prices are not always keeping up.
The prices on specialty intermediates, solvents, and surfactants shift fast and without warning, driven by energy costs, geopolitical disruption, and supply imbalances. Quoting a formulation based on last month's costs and then watching inputs move 15% before delivery means you absorb the margin hit. Tenkara monitors pricing and availability across your full feedstock portfolio continuously. When a price moves or a supplier has a problem, your team sees it early and already has qualified alternates ready to fall back on.
Every quote is backed by real landed cost.
Pricing a custom formulation without knowing the true landed cost means guessing at your own margin. Tenkara builds a complete cost picture from feedstock through freight for every customer order, before you commit to a price. You see exactly what a project will cost to deliver. The margin you quote is the margin you actually make.
