GrubMarket released a new Sales AI Agent on June 8, 2026, designed specifically for wholesale food distribution sales teams. The agent automates territory-based prospect discovery, AI-powered menu analysis, and professional price sheet generation, compressing hours of manual work into a minutes-long workflow.
Foodservice and restaurant distributors often spend large portions of their day researching potential customers, reviewing paper or PDF menus, matching products, and building customized quotes. The Sales AI Agent changes that: a sales representative can now search for restaurants in a target zip code, upload a menu, and get a ready-to-send price sheet in one continuous process.
What the Sales AI Agent does
The agent combines prospect identification, menu scanning, quote creation, and multi-channel delivery into a single workflow. A rep opens the platform, defines a geographic area, finds businesses with contact details, uploads a menu or order guide as a photo or PDF, and the agent maps the items to the distributor's product catalog and pricing. The result is a polished price sheet that can be customized, then shared via email, text, WhatsApp, or print.
The tool connects directly to food distribution software including WholesaleWare ERP, Thyme Software, Granite State Software, PICS by WaudWare, and Orders IO. It also runs as a standalone solution with support for uploaded catalogs and price groups.
Six core capabilities
- Territory-Based Prospect Discovery: Search by zip code or navigate a map to find restaurants, foodservice operators, and retailers. Business profiles include contact information, descriptions, and website links.
- AI-Powered Menu Analysis: Upload photos or PDFs of menus and order guides. The agent identifies products and recommends matching items from the distributor's catalog.
- Automated Price Sheet Generation: Create customer-ready price sheets automatically using configured price groups or custom pricing.
- Flexible Quote Customization: Review, edit, add, or remove products and pricing before sending the proposal.
- Multi-Channel Sharing: Send proposals through email, text message, WhatsApp, or download and print them.
- Software Integration: Works with leading wholesale distribution platforms; also available as a standalone system.
Leadership comments
"The food supply chain industry is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation driven by artificial intelligence," said Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket. "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."
Genevieve Wang, Chief Software Product Officer at GrubMarket, said, "The traditional process of researching prospects, reviewing menus, selecting products, and building customized quotes can take a sales rep hours for a single opportunity. 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."
Why this matters for sales teams
The Sales AI Agent shifts sales reps' time away from manual data gathering and quote formatting and toward higher-value activities-qualifying leads and closing deals. A rep who once built a handful of proposals per day can now produce polished, tailored price sheets for many more prospects in the same window. For sales professionals looking to build AI skills into their daily routine, structured training such as the AI Learning Path for Sales Representatives can accelerate the adoption of these kinds of tools.
