According to the company, the launch of the sales AI agent marks an important milestone in the greater vision of creating specialized AI agents, streamlining every essential workflow across the entire food supply chain.
“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.

Sales AI Agent with 6 Core Capabilities
According to the company, manual prospecting and quote creation bottleneck restaurant distributors, forcing sales reps to waste time on tedious administrative tasks instead of closing new deals.
The Sales AI Agent aims to enable sales teams through a variety of tasks like quick discovery of prospective customers, automatic analysis of menus and ingredient lists, and generation of accurate, customized price sheets.
The company has also highlighted capabilities of the AI Agent, including Territory-Based Prospect Discovery, AI-Powered Menu Analysis, Automated Price Sheet Generation, Flexible Quote Customization, Multi-Channel Sharing and Seamless Integration.
The company said the Sales AI Agent supports multiple stages of the sales process, including prospect identification, menu analysis, quote generation, and proposal delivery. According to the company, automating these tasks can help distributors engage more prospects, accelerate sales cycles, and improve sales team productivity.
Genevieve Wang, Chief Software Product Officer at GrubMarket said that the traditional process of researching prospects, reviewing menus, selecting products, and building customized quotes takes hours, while 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," she added.
