What needed to change

Distribution runs on offers, and the offers arrived faster than anyone could compare them.

In distribution, a trading team receives a constant stream of supplier offers for physical products. Every one arrives in a different format, with different terms, and faster than a person can properly read, re-key and cross-check.

The good opportunities are in there. They're just easy to miss, because there's never enough time to look at all of them with the same care.

What we built

01

Automatic intake

Incoming supplier offers are ingested and parsed instead of being re-keyed by hand.

02

Comparable offers

Offers are normalised into a common structure so the same evaluation runs across every one of them.

03

Matching engine

Priority partners can always be ranked first, so commercial relationships are never buried by the algorithm.

What changed

Manual, offer-by-offer analysis is replaced by an automated pipeline that ranks the best opportunities as they arrive.
