GrubMarket has introduced the Sales AI Agent tool. This software innovation is designed to automate two of the most labor-intensive tasks for wholesale food distributors — finding new customers and creating price quotes.
The Sales AI Agent is part of GrubMarket’s broader artificial intelligence platform and aims to streamline the sales workflow from start to finish. Instead of manually researching potential buyers within a given territory, sales representatives can use the agent to search by ZIP code or browse an interactive map to identify restaurants, foodservice operators, and retailers complete with contact details and business profiles. Once a prospect is found, the agent allows the user to upload a photo or PDF of that prospect’s menu or order guide. The AI then analyzes the document, matches menu items to the distributor’s own product catalog, and automatically generates a polished, customer-ready price sheet.
