From invoice chaos to margin clarity

Six capabilities that turn raw supplier data into actionable cost intelligence.

Invoice-to-Catalog Normalization

Standardize units, packs, and pricing so the same ingredient costs compare apples-to-apples across vendors and time.

Confirm-Once Learning Loop

Map a vendor item to your catalog once. Future invoices auto-match, reducing repeated manual cleanup.

Rules-Based True Costing

Yields, trim, portioning, and substitutions are first-class inputs — configurable by concept and location.

Margin Erosion Alerts

Get notified when item margins drift beyond your thresholds, with clear drivers and repricing candidates.

Export-Ready Evidence

Every calculation traces back to invoice lines and explicit rules. Download, share, or hand off without reformatting.

Daily Unit Economics

See item-level COGS and margin across menu items, modifiers, and bundles — refreshed every day.

How it works

Three steps from raw invoices to daily margin visibility.

Step 01

Ingest invoices

Forward PDF or email invoices. Line items are extracted and units normalized automatically.

Step 02

Map and apply rules

Vendor items match to your catalog. Yield, portion, and substitution rules calculate true costs.

Step 03

Act on margin signals

Review daily unit economics, respond to margin alerts, and export repricing candidates.
