Stop Losing Track of Supplier Price Deals and Verbal Agreements
You’re flat out on a job site, balancing your phone on your shoulder while trying to jot down a ‘special price’ a supplier just offered you on a big order. You hang up, get back to work, and by the end of the day, you can’t remember if that price was for the framing timber or the insulation, let alone the exact figure. That one forgotten detail could cost you hundreds, or even thousands, on the job.
The Problem
When you’re juggling multiple suppliers for a project, every dollar counts. Verbal agreements on price, delivery dates, and material specs are common, but they’re also easy to forget or misremember. Without a proper record, you risk ordering the wrong materials, paying more than you agreed, or facing costly delays when a supplier’s recollection of the deal doesn’t match yours. It’s your word against theirs, and that uncertainty can eat directly into your profit margin.
How Rewynd Solves This
Rewynd acts as your automatic memory for every call with a supplier. As soon as you hang up, the entire conversation is transcribed and saved. Key details like agreed prices, product codes, delivery instructions, and contact names are automatically pulled out and turned into clear, actionable notes. You never have to rely on a messy ute-dashboard-note or a foggy memory again. All the facts are captured, organised, and ready when you need to place the order or query an invoice.
Real-World Example
Meet Mick, a landscaper from Wollongong. He was juggling three big jobs and got a call from his nursery supplier while driving between sites. The supplier offered him a sharp deal on 50 mature olive trees, but only if he confirmed the order by 4 PM. The call was full of specifics: pot sizes, delivery costs, and the exact botanical name. Before Rewynd, Mick would have scribbled a note at the next red light and hoped for the best. This time, Rewynd captured everything. When he got back to the office, the full transcript and a summary of action items were waiting for him. He placed the order with confidence, saved over $1,500, and avoided the risk of getting the wrong stock delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if the supplier's accent is really strong? Rewynd's transcription is optimised for Australian accents and common industry terms. While heavy accents can sometimes be tricky for any system, it’s designed to perform well in real-world conditions, and you always have the original audio recording to double-check any specific words.
2. Is this legal? Do I have to tell the supplier I'm recording? In Australia, call recording laws vary by state. Generally, for business-to-business calls like supplier negotiations, the focus is on having a record for business purposes. Rewynd is a tool for your personal recall, just like taking notes. Many businesses already state that calls may be recorded for quality and training purposes, and this is becoming standard practice.
3. How do I find a specific price from a call I had last month? Every call is transcribed and searchable. You can simply search for the supplier's name, a product, or even just the word "price" to instantly find the exact conversation and the information you need. All your call notes are organised and easy to access.
4. Can my office manager or apprentice see the prices I've agreed to? Yes, and it costs nothing extra. You can share specific action items or call notes with anyone on your team using Rewynd’s free team features. This makes it easy for your office manager to place an order with the correct pricing or for your team on-site to know exactly what materials are arriving.
