An apparatus and a method for accepting automatically selecting a combination of suppliers yielding a lowest cost of a product of the suppliers is described. A product analyzer receives from a client a set of parameters of a product. The parameters include a quantity of the product and an identification of the product. The product analyzer gathers cost data of the product from different suppliers of the product based on the set of parameters. An optimal supplier engine of the product analyzer computes a total cost of the product for each combination of the cost data and the set of parameters to determine the combination yielding the lowest total cost.
