Alternative UI for Vendor Comparison Dashboard

Based on the data from your spreadsheet, I'll design a more modern and interactive vendor comparison dashboard that incorporates elements from your reverse auction interface.

Key Improvements in the New UI

1. Card-Based Layout: I've organized the data into separate cards for each product category (MacBook Air and Lenovo Notebook) with a summary card at the bottom, making it easier to focus on specific items.

2. Visual Hierarchy: The UI uses clear visual hierarchy with headers, badges, and color-coding to highlight important information:

   • Green background for best value vendors
   • Color-coded supply status badges (green for complete, amber for partial)
   • Prominent display of key metrics
3. Interactive Elements: Added tabs for different views (Comparison, Item Details, Analytics, Bid History) and action buttons for each vendor.
4. Responsive Design: The layout is fully responsive and will work well on different screen sizes.
5. Status Indicators: Clear visual indicators for supply status and bid closing time, similar to your auction interface.
6. Consistent Styling: The design maintains a clean, professional look with consistent spacing and typography.
7. Summary Section: Added a comprehensive summary section that shows total amounts, GST calculations, and net payable amounts for each vendor.

This design combines the tabular data presentation from your spreadsheet with the modern UI elements and functionality from your auction interface, creating a more user-friendly and visually appealing vendor comparison dashboard.

Additional Tabs for Vendor Comparison Dashboard

I'll create the remaining tabs you requested for the vendor comparison dashboard. These will complement the comparison view with detailed product information, analytics, and bid history.
