For wholesalers & distributors
AI labs license real business records to learn how work gets done: quotes, orders, pricing and rebate histories, returns and purchasing. Customer names are stripped before anything leaves, and you keep ownership.
What a 60-person distributor holds
What's valuable
Records of real work and how it turned out. The more years and the better kept, the more they're worth.
How a request becomes a quote and then an order: substitutions, lead times and the follow-ups in between.
Price changes, special pricing agreements and rebate claims, with customer names taken out.
RMAs, credit memos and the reasons behind them.
Reorder decisions, stockouts and how your buyers worked around them.
How your team handles rush orders, backorders and drop-ships, step by step.
Years of activity in the system you already run, with customer identifiers removed.
What labs learn from it
A customer needs parts you don't have on the shelf. Your inside sales rep checks other branches, offers a substitute, splits the shipment and updates the order. An AI that has never seen a real order desk can't do that. Your order history shows it how, one real case at a time.

No distributor-specific prices are public yet, so these are general figures from other industries. Supply-chain records are rarely public, and AI companies already list them. We never promise a number. Value depends on how many records you have, how many years they cover and how well they're kept. Your valuation tells you where you stand.
See where you standHow it works
You don't need to prepare anything for the valuation, and nothing leaves your company until you've seen it and signed off.
Answer a few questions about your company. Within one business day we email you what buyers want from businesses like yours and what drives the price. No files needed yet.
We match you with buyers who want your kind of records and handle the paperwork. Personal details come out before anything leaves, and you approve every file and every term.
Your company is paid under the license you sign. The buyer pays our fee, so it costs you nothing.
Privacy
You decide what's in scope. These never leave, and nothing goes anywhere without your written sign-off.
How we anonymize
The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. You never pay us anything: there's no upfront cost, and if no deal closes, nobody owes anything.
Only what you put in scope ever leaves. Customer names are stripped, and supplier agreements under NDA stay out. The valuable part is usually how the work gets done (quoting, substitutions, returns), not one account's prices.
Nothing leaves until it has been through three steps. Personal details (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers) are removed or replaced with placeholders. The cleaned files are reviewed, and you see them before anything is shared. And you sign off in writing. Customer personal details, privileged or regulated records, and HR and payroll files are left out entirely.
Your valuation arrives within one business day. If you go ahead, scoping and signing usually take a few weeks. Buyers pay once the records are delivered and accepted, typically 60 to 90 days after acceptance, and some pay sooner.
It depends on the records. Employee names and contact details are removed like everyone else's, and HR, payroll and personnel files never leave. Some material, such as call recordings or staff messages in certain states, can carry notice or consent rules; we flag it before anything is shared. Many owners choose to tell their team, and your counsel has the final word.
Nothing. The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. There's no upfront cost, and if no deal happens, nobody pays anything.
Then nothing happens. The valuation is free and commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before you sign, and nothing is ever shared without your written approval.
