The Problem
The systems at retailers like Bed, Bath and Beyond aren’t compatible with the systems used by their vendors.
This is why big retail force thousands of vendors to fill out 200+ column spreadsheets, everyday, creating a costly, labor intensive process that delays revenue and produces human error.

How Venzee Works
…Enriched, compatible updates come out automatically
On average, it takes around SIX MINUTES to add one new product to Shopify. That must be multiplied for dozens or hundreds of products, and they all have to be updated - by a person.
With Venzee, creating and managing thousands of live products on Shopify takes just minutes. These also update automatically.
In Q4 2017, Venzee will launch an AI program called “Autopilot”, where files received via email are automatically processed. No more file upload. This is a game changer and unique to Venzee.

PUT YOUR STORE ON AUTO PILOT
AI powered supply chain is the future of retail
Instead of emailing the retailer, suppliers send spreadsheets to a unique email address.
Auto Pilot learns how to turn the spreadsheets it receives into content rich, compatible products.
Auto Pilot updates the retailers store, automatically.
*Currently supports Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce.
