Procurement intelligence for independent retail

Know the true cost of every order before you place it.

ShelfRelay consolidates supplier catalogues, matches equivalent products, and compares landed costs across pack sizes, delivery charges and minimums, so independent retailers and wholesalers buy with the same clarity as national chains.

No supplier prices are invented. Every figure is imported, calculated, or clearly marked as a suggestion.

Platform

Five AI capabilities, one auditable workflow

Each capability labels its output, so your team always knows what came from a supplier, what ShelfRelay calculated, and what needs a human decision.

01Imported

Catalogue extraction

Read SKUs, descriptions, pack sizes, case and unit prices, tiers and terms from CSV, spreadsheets and PDF price lists. Every value keeps a link back to its source row.

02AI suggestion

Product matching

Find equivalent products across suppliers even when names, brands or case counts differ. Variant and size differences are flagged for your review, never silently merged.

03Calculated

Total cost comparison

Normalize to price per litre, kilogram or unit, then add delivery charges, volume discounts, tier pricing and minimum order checks to see the true order cost.

04Estimate

Replenishment recommendations

Turn recorded stock counts and sales into order quantities using your own safety stock, cover days and lead times, rounded to each supplier's case size.

05AI suggestion

Procurement assistant

Ask why one supplier is cheaper, which prices are missing, or what the options are for this week's order. Answers are grounded in your imported data and cite it.

Data & AI principles

Clear about what is known, calculated, and suggested

  • ✓

    No invented prices, availability or dates

    If a supplier hasn't stated a price, delivery charge, minimum or lead time, ShelfRelay shows it as missing and excludes it from totals.

  • ✓

    Humans confirm equivalence

    Matches are proposals until your team confirms them. Differing variants, brands and sizes are always routed to review.

  • ✓

    Traceable to the source

    Each imported value links to the file and row it came from, and every calculation can be expanded to show its working.

  • ✓

    Grounded assistant

    The assistant only answers from your workspace data and says when information is missing, rather than guessing.

Every value carries a label

Example

Harbor & Vine lists sparkling water at a unit price. ShelfRelay multiplies by the stated 12-can case to get a case price, labels it from unit price, and links back to row 1 of the supplier's file.
