GrocersOS

Features

GrocersOS turns the stack of supplier invoices on your desk into the numbers that actually run your store. Snap a photo of any invoice — or upload the PDF straight from your email — and GrocersOS reads it for you: every line item, quantity, and price, extracted automatically in seconds. Got a mail packet with a dozen invoices scanned into one file? Upload it once; GrocersOS splits it apart, files each invoice separately, and skips anything you've already entered. WHAT YOU GET • Instant invoice capture — camera or PDF, single invoices or whole packets • Line items extracted automatically — no typing, no spreadsheets • Price tracking per product and supplier — every price lands on the timeline by invoice date, so your history is accurate even when you enter old invoices later • Price-change alerts — know the moment a supplier raises a price, with the old and new price side by side • Margin visibility — see what rising costs are doing to your margins before the month closes • Multi-location support — every location's costs in one place • Duplicate protection — re-upload the same invoice and GrocersOS knows Works hand-in-hand with the GrocersOS web dashboard at grocersos.com — scan on your phone at the loading dock, review on the big screen in the office. Built for independent grocery stores, markets, delis, restaurants, and corner stores — the operators who negotiate with suppliers every week and can't afford to find out about a price increase at the end of the quarter. A GrocersOS account is required.
