Get quotes from suppliers in minutes, not days
To get quotes from suppliers today, someone spends a morning on the phone and then waits for PDFs. With Speaks, you paste what you need, and it phones up to 20 suppliers at a time, asks for price, stock and delivery, and puts it all in one table.
Coming soon. This is what Speaks is being built to do, and not all of it works yet.

You say
“500 bags of cement and 20 cubes of sand, delivered to Midrand by Thursday.”
It does
It finds suppliers near you, rings them at the same time, asks your questions and requests written quotes by email.
You get
One table with price, stock and delivery date, the best deals on top, and the written quotes behind it.
What it handles
- Finding who to call, from our database of South African businesses
- Up to 20 calls at the same time
- Price, stock and delivery dates
- Written quotes by email, so the price holds
Where it stops
It asks for prices and it doesn’t place orders unless you tell it to. A price on the phone isn’t final until it’s in writing, so it asks for that too.
Questions
Do suppliers need to sign up?
No. That’s the point. They just answer the phone, as they do today.
Where does the list of suppliers come from?
Our database of South African businesses, or your own list. You can always add or remove names.
Can I see the suppliers’ details?
You see everyone called for your job, with their answers.
