# Price analysis

Your own purchase price compared with what other Sapera customers pay for the same item — anonymously.

The **Prisanalyse** (Price analysis) tab compares what you have paid for your items with what other Sapera customers pay for the same item. That shows where you buy more expensively than others — and how much there may be to gain.

## What the page shows

-   Cards with **Potentiale mod median** (potential vs. median), **Potentiale mod p25** (potential vs. p25), **Indkøb med benchmark** (purchases with a benchmark), **Indkøb i alt** (total purchases) and **Dækning** (coverage).
    
-   A matrix per product with quantity, **Egen pris** (own price), **Benchmark p25**, **Benchmark median**, **Afvigelse** (deviation), **Købt for** (purchased for), **Potentiale** (potential) and **Pålidelighed** (reliability) — largest potential at the top.
    

## How to use it

-   Search by **Produktnr.** (product no.), **Ean** or **Produktnavn** (product name).
    
-   Narrow down with **Regnskabsår** (fiscal year), **Periode** (period), **Leverandør** (supplier), **Produktkategori** (product category) and **Pålidelighed**.
    
-   Use **Rækker** (rows) to choose what the matrix splits by — e.g. product, EAN, category, supplier or month.
    
-   Start with the items at the top: that is where the potential is largest.
    

## Good to know

-   **Egen pris** is the amount you actually paid per unit according to the purchase invoice lines — after discount.
    
-   The comparison is made on EAN against other Sapera customers' purchases over the last 12 months. Your own purchases are never part of the comparison, and it never shows who the other customers are.
    
-   **Median** = the middle price: half of the others buy cheaper, half more expensively. **p25** = the price below which the cheapest quarter lies.
    
-   **Potentiale** is only what you paid above the benchmark. Buying cheaper does not count.
    
-   Prices that deviate more than three times from the benchmark are left out — they are typically typing errors or different items sharing an EAN.
    
-   **Pålidelighed** is **Høj** (high) or **Middel** (medium). If it is blank, there are too few other customers for a comparison.
    
-   **Dækning** = how large a share of your purchases can be compared.
