Upload a supplier document: AI pulls out your ingredients

In short

• Upload supplier price lists or invoices (PDF or Excel) and pull in ingredient data with AI
• Choose which Excel sheets to process if your file has more than one tab
• Link an existing supplier or create a new one during import
• Check the ingredient names, units, prices and allergens the system read, in a table, before you import
• Importing creates new ingredients or updates existing ones, based on what's already in your catalogue
• Keep your catalogue in sync with supplier prices without manual entry

Stop retyping supplier documents

You get a new price list from your butcher or veg wholesaler. You open it. You start typing in ingredient names. You copy prices. You check units. It takes time, and mistakes creep in.

Upload the document, choose what you need, import

Drag the supplier file, PDF or Excel, into Catermonkey. AI reads it and recognises ingredient names, packaging units, purchase prices and allergens. For Excel files, you choose which sheets to process. For documents covering several suppliers, you link the right supplier or create a new one. Review the rows it read in a table, tick what you want to keep, and import. The system creates new ingredients or updates existing ones based on what you already have.

Your ingredient list stays current without manual work

When prices change or your supplier adds a new item, you upload the new document and import the changes. Your cost calculations, shopping lists and preparation lists reflect the current figures straight away.
