Traditionally, researching prospects, reviewing menus, selecting products and building customized quotes can take sales representatives hours for a single opportunity. Sales AI Agent aims to compress this process into minutes.
Users can define a target geographic area, discover prospective customers, upload menus or order guides, automatically map products to their catalog, apply pricing and generate polished customer-ready proposals — all within a single workflow. By automating these manual tasks, distributors can engage more prospects, shorten sales cycles, and improve overall sales productivity.
“With the Sales AI Agent, we are bringing powerful AI capabilities directly into the hands of food distributor sales teams, enabling them to work more efficiently, engage more prospects and win more business," said Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket. "This launch represents another important step in our broader vision of building specialized AI agents that automate and optimize every major function across the food supply chain industry.”
“The traditional process of researching prospects, reviewing menus, selecting products, and building customized quotes can take a sales rep hours for a single opportunity," said Genevieve Wang, chief software product officer. "The Sales AI Agent compresses that process into minutes. By combining prospect discovery, AI-powered menu analysis and automated price sheet generation into a single workflow, we’re helping distributors engage more prospects, generate more quotes and win more business while dramatically reducing time spent on administrative work.”
