OrderShield

Stop IT vendors from canceling your orders and jacking up prices

01The Problem

You confirmed an order for server RAM at $92/stick. Two days later the vendor cancels it — 'out of stock.' Six hours after that, the exact same SKU is back on their site at $442. During hardware shortages, vendors routinely cancel confirmed, charged orders to relist inventory at 4-5x markup. You have no automated way to catch them or fight back.

02The Solution

OrderShield auto-archives every vendor product page, order confirmation, and price change. When a vendor pulls a bait-and-switch — cancel your order, restock at a higher price — OrderShield detects the pattern, generates timestamped evidence, and pre-fills AG complaint forms for your state. Community-sourced vendor trust scores warn you before you order from known bad actors.
