The report

One report. Less guesswork.

The report is designed to reduce guesswork by surfacing the details that can be easy to miss across scattered consumables invoices.

Invoices reviewed

A summary of the documents included in the analysis.

Suppliers found

A clearer view of how many suppliers appear across the invoice set.

Delivery charges

Delivery fees pulled into one place so they can be reviewed as a total.

Items to review

Practical points such as unusual line items, repeated products, similar names or price movement.

Advanced metrics

Metrics that go beyond the invoice total.

Where enough invoice history is available, DBX ONE can compare periods, calculate unit costs and estimate future ordering needs.

Cost per unit

Shows the effective price per box, roll, pack or item where quantities are available.

Example: couch roll — £3.42 per roll

Month-on-month change

Compares this month with the previous month to show what has increased or decreased.

Example: disinfectant wipes — +14%

Consumption run-rate

Turns invoice quantities into a rough usage rate for repeat consumables.

Example: nitrile gloves — 11.3 boxes/week

Next-order estimate

Uses recent invoice history to estimate what may need ordering next month.

Example: predicted glove need — 45 boxes

Delivery-cost percentage

Shows delivery charges as a share of total spend, making hidden delivery costs easier to see.

Example: delivery burden — 11.6%

Supplier overlap

Flags when similar items are being bought from multiple suppliers.

Example: similar consumables across 3 suppliers

Price increase detection

Flags recurring products that appear to cost more than they did in the previous invoice period.

Example: disinfectant wipes — +14%

Suggested optimisations

Practical review opportunities.

The report can highlight where a team may want to review supplier choices, delivery charges or ordering patterns.

01

Consolidate similar orders

Example: if one supplier provides both gloves and wipes, review whether both could be ordered together to avoid paying two delivery charges.

02

Review high delivery fees

Example: delivery fees of £18.00 and £20.00 are flagged as worth checking.

03

Check like-for-like products

Example: similar glove descriptions may need pack size, material and quantity checked before comparing unit cost.

04

Estimate future orders

Example: if recent usage suggests 45 glove boxes may be needed next month, the practice can plan the order earlier.

05

Review price increases

Example: disinfectant wipes appear 14% higher than last month and are flagged for review.

What makes it valuable

From invoice data to practical review points.

Surface hidden costs

Example: seven delivery charges add up to £86.00 in the example month.

Flag unusual line items

Example: couch roll appears at £57.93 and is marked for review.

Make admin easier

Example: 34 scattered invoices become one structured overview.

Turn invoices into action points

Example: review similar product names, repeated purchases and delivery fees over £15.
