Abstract: Systems and methods for generating baseline candidates are described herein. A method includes: receiving a first set of print specifications associated with a first item in a first product category and retrieving, from the print procurement system, historical purchasing information about a plurality of fulfilled items in the first product category. The method also includes: retrieving an exact tolerance and a similar tolerance associated with the first item. For each item in the plurality of fulfilled items, the method includes: (i) identifying deviations in print specifications associated with a respective fulfilled item when compared to the first set of print specifications, (ii) in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the exact tolerance, designating the respective fulfilled item as an exact baseline match, and (iii) in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the similar tolerance, designating the respective fulfilled item as a similar baseline match.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying supplier evaluation information include receiving a print order. A supplier data set is analyzed to determine a set of potential suppliers for the print order. For each respective supplier in the set of potential suppliers for the print order, one or more system-generated evaluation criteria values for the respective supplier are used to determine at least one representative system-generated evaluation criterion value for the respective supplier, and one or more user input evaluation criteria values for the respective supplier are used to determine at least one combined user input evaluation criterion value for the respective supplier. Supplier information for a subset of the set of potential suppliers for the print order is displayed, including identifying information, a representative system-generated evaluation criterion value, and a combined user input evaluation criterion value for a respective supplier from the subset of the set of potential suppliers.
