Upload a supplier document—AI extracts your ingredients
Turn price lists and invoices into structured ingredient data in seconds

- Choose an existing supplier or create a new one during import
- Review extracted ingredient names, units, prices, and allergens in a table before importing
- Import creates new ingredients or updates existing ones based on what's already in your catalogue
- Keep your catalogue synchronized with supplier pricing without manual re-entry
Stop transcribing supplier documents
You get a new price list from your butcher or produce wholesaler. You open it. You start typing ingredient names into your system. You copy prices. You double-check units. It takes time and you make mistakes.
Upload the document, select what you need, import
Drop the supplier file—PDF or Excel—into Catermonkey. AI reads it and identifies ingredient names, packaging units, purchase prices, and allergens. For documents covering several suppliers you tag the right one, or create a new one. Review the extracted rows in a table, tick the ones you want, and import them. The system creates new ingredients or updates existing ones based on what you already have.
Your ingredient list stays current with zero manual data entry
When prices change or your supplier adds a SKU, you upload the new document and import the changes. Your cost calculations, shopping lists, and preparation lists reflect current numbers immediately.
