// For food and beverage makers
AI for food and beverage CPG companies, tested on one job first.
Two places to start: retailer and distributor POs into sales orders, or deductions matched to the backup that proves or disproves them. Either one runs as a free AI proof of concept on 20 to 30 old documents, copied, with no access to your ERP, your EDI or any retailer portal.

Jobs on a food maker's back office
Retailer and distributor POs into sales orders
The orders that don't come through EDI, entered with your own item numbers, case counts, pallets and ship dates.
See the job pageDeductions management
Each short payment matched to its promotion agreement, proof of delivery or invoice, then marked valid or worth disputing.
See the job pagePromotion claims checked before you pay
Billbacks and scan-based claims from retailers and distributors compared with the deal you agreed: the items, the dates and the rate.
See the promotion claims pageSpec sheet and certificate requests
Customer requests for spec sheets, allergen statements and certificates of analysis, drafted from your own files for quality to check.

Both desks already have an answer key
A food or beverage maker runs two desks on the same few documents every day. Customer service turns purchase orders into sales orders. Accounts receivable works the short payments that come back weeks later. Both have years of history in the inbox and the ERP, and both hold a decision your team already made on every old document.
On the order desk the answer is the sales order that shipped. On the deductions desk it is what your analyst decided: cleared it to a promotion, disputed it, or wrote it off. Your reviewer checks each draft against that decision, one document at a time.
The two jobs feed each other. A PO entered at list price while a promotion was running, or an order that shipped short of what was ordered, tends to come back later as a deduction. We would start with whichever desk carries the bigger backlog.
The big retailers mostly send orders by EDI already, and many send remittances that way too. The proof of concept is aimed at what EDI leaves behind: the regional chain that emails a PDF, the distributor whose deduction backup arrives as a separate email, the remittance line that shows a code and an amount and nothing else.

Three steps, before anything is live
- Step 01
Old documents, copied
After the NDA, you send 20 to 30 old POs or deductions, each with what your team did about it. Nothing connects to your ERP, EDI or portals. Where documents have to stay inside, your reviewer helps us make look-alikes.
- Step 02
Your reviewer decides
The owner picks the reviewer first. The success criteria get written down and agreed, and you get a price range for the live job before any document moves. Then the reviewer sets our drafts beside your team's own decisions.
- Step 03
A live month after a yes
About 30 days on new documents. A person approves each sales order or deduction call before it posts or any dispute is sent.
Priced per job, each on its own. A range before the proof of concept, then a fixed price before you sign.
We give you the range on the call, based on how many POs or deductions you handle a month and how many customers send them outside EDI. Monthly support follows the live run.

Does this replace our EDI provider?
Is this a trade promotion management system?
We run a food-industry ERP, not NetSuite or SAP. Does that matter?
Our retailer agreements limit what we can share. Can we still test?
