Hey Product Hunt! šŸ‘‹ I'm Aryan, solo founder of SpecLens. I built this after watching procurement teams at companies spend 3-4 days manually comparing vendor specifications in Excel spreadsheets. One project manager told me she'd missed a critical compliance spec difference because she was comparing 15 PDFs side-by-side at 2 AM. That's when I knew there had to be a better way. The Problem We're Solving- When procurement teams evaluate multiple vendors for RFPs or tenders, they face: 1) Specs scattered across PDFs, Word docs, and Excel files with different formats 2) Manual copy-paste into comparison spreadsheets (hours of tedious work) 3) Human errors when specifications span 50+ pages per vendor 4) Missed discrepancies that lead to costly purchasing mistakes What SpecLens Does - We automate the heavy lifting so teams can focus on decision-making, not data entry: āœ… Smart Extraction - AI reads any document format and pulls out specifications automatically āœ… Instant Comparison Matrices - Generates side-by-side comparisons in seconds, not days āœ… Discrepancy Detection - Flags missing specs, mismatches, and outliers humans might overlook āœ… Confidence Scoring - Shows data quality so you know what needs manual review āœ… Flexible Processing - Re-run specific sections when edge cases appear Who Should Try This Perfect for procurement managers, supply chain teams, purchasing departments, and anyone who's ever said "I need to compare these 10 vendor proposals by Friday" šŸ˜
