Bench & Branch

Practical tools. Clear business decisions.

See what changed.
Before you change
your catalog.

A supplier sends a new price list. We compare it with your current catalog and deliver a clear review of the differences—so you can check the changes before taking action.

One comparison. A delivered report. No store access needed.

Illustrative records, not a customer result. New and missing items are flagged for review; their differences are not invented.

The first service

A focused review.
A useful deliverable.

Bench & Branch builds practical software tools and delivers scoped business data reviews. Our catalog comparison service answers a specific question: what changed between these two prepared price feeds?

You receive a price-comparison CSV and readable summary with source-row references. Duplicate SKUs, invalid prices, new products and missing products stay visible for your review.

This service does not include store changes, column remapping, currency conversion, fuzzy matching, extracting prices from PDFs, or recommendations about what to charge.

Check whether your job fits

Enquiries are open. Online checkout is being activated. The final scope, total including any applicable tax, handling terms and deadline are agreed before payment. Existing written quotes remain valid for their agreed scope.

How it works

Start with the scope.
Finish with a report you can review.

01

Tell us what you need

Email the approximate row count, file format and result you want. Keep your first message to a description—please do not attach files, credentials or confidential information.

02

Agree the job

We confirm supported inputs, exceptions, price, a specific delivery date and the private transfer, access and retention arrangements before accepting files or payment.

03

Review the differences

We deliver the comparison and summary through the agreed route. You check the report and decide any store changes. An in-scope processing correction is included.

A good fit

Prepared feeds.
Literal comparisons.

Both files use the same three-column header:

sku,currency,price

Comma-separated UTF-8 CSV, USD and plain nonnegative decimal prices. SKU matching preserves case, whitespace and leading zeros. Each price rounds to cents before comparison.

Maximum 10 MB per file. Full input requirements are confirmed during scoping.

What if my data needs cleaning?

Describe the issue first. We will tell you whether the job fits. Remapping columns, repairing source data, fuzzy matching and extracting prices from documents are outside this offer.

When will I receive the report?

Our usual target is two business days after input acceptance and confirmed payment. We agree a specific calendar deadline in writing before charging; the target alone is not a confirmed booking.

What if the result has an error?

One correction of an in-scope processing error is included, requested within seven calendar days of delivery. If a material in-scope error cannot be corrected by the agreed correction deadline, we offer a full service-fee refund.

Can I cancel?

Before payment, there is no service charge. Cancel after payment but before delivery for a full refund of the service fee. If we cannot meet the agreed delivery date, you can choose a full service-fee refund. See the service terms for details.

Let’s look at the job

Have a supplier update
to make sense of?

Tell us roughly how many rows you have, whether the feeds use the supported CSV format, and what you need to understand. We’ll confirm the fit before anything changes hands.
