Last week's tomatoes. This week's price.
Here is an illustrative example, not a customer statistic. Say last week's produce invoice had vine tomatoes on it. This week's invoice has the same line at a higher unit price. Nobody emailed. The total still looks fine. Meezly compares that line with the last unit price you paid that supplier for the same item, and flags the rise while you are still reviewing the invoice.
Get startedAn ordinary Tuesday, not a price-list letter
This is an illustrative example, not a customer statistic. A produce invoice lands with the usual lines. Vine tomatoes are on it again. The case total looks familiar, so nobody studies line 14. The unit price has moved.
Meezly already reads every line to file the invoice. Because it has the last unit price you paid that supplier for the same item, it can compare the two. If this week's price is higher, the line is flagged on the review screen that day.
What is compared
- The current invoice line's unit price
- The last unit price you paid the same supplier for the same item
- Same item means the same line description, matched after ordinary spacing and capitalisation differences
Meezly needs at least two invoices with that product from that supplier before a rise can appear.
What you see
- On invoice review: the flagged line shows the rise against the last price, and the date of that earlier price
- A Query this price action on that same line, so you can ask the supplier while the delivery is still warm
- On Reports: Price changes by supplier, with flagged items and the history behind them
- On the home dashboard: Price rises spotted
No spreadsheet. No Friday-afternoon audit. The check happens in the same review you already do before anything reaches Xero.
Questions, answered
How does Meezly know a price went up?
Every invoice line is compared with the last unit price you paid the same supplier for the same item. When that unit price moves up, Meezly flags the line on the invoice review screen and lists it under Price changes by supplier on Reports. You need at least two invoices with the same product from the same supplier.
What do I see on the invoice?
On the review screen, a flagged line shows the rise against the last price you paid, and the date of that earlier price. From that same line you can query the supplier while the delivery is still warm.
What do I see in reports?
Reports include Price changes by supplier. Each product's unit price is tracked across its invoices, so a steady creep shows up as clearly as a single jump. The home dashboard also has a Price rises spotted card.
Is the tomato example a real customer result?
No. It is an illustrative example of a quiet line-price rise. This page does not publish a customer aggregate or a production statistic.
