For independent retailers
Every supplier, compared on what you actually pay
Grocers, convenience stores and specialty shops buy from several wholesalers, each with its own price list format, case sizes and delivery rules. ShelfRelay puts them on one comparable basis.
What gets in the way today
Price lists that don't line up
One supplier quotes per case of 24, another per unit in 12s, a third in 6×4 trays. Comparing by eye is slow and error-prone.
Hidden order costs
Delivery fees, free-delivery thresholds and minimum order values change which supplier is really cheapest for a given order.
Reordering by gut feel
Without a quick view of sales rate and cover, it's easy to overstock slow lines and run out of fast ones.
How teams use ShelfRelay

Upload your three wholesalers' price lists. ShelfRelay matches the same water, juice and soda lines, normalizes to price per litre, and shows whether splitting the order beats one delivery.
See landed cost per litre and the lowest total that meets each minimum.
Pantry range review
Compare a 5kg rice sack with 10×1kg bags on cost per kg, with the size difference flagged so you can decide whether it suits your shelf.
Pack-size trade-offs made explicit, not hidden.
