AI-assisted vendor price-list import

Review extracted colors, thicknesses and costs before applying a catalog.

SlabOS documents an import workflow for vendor files that extracts catalog information into a review table. The process is useful when a supplier changes colors, thicknesses or costs: the operator starts from extracted rows and checks them before applying the update.

Extraction is only one part of maintaining a usable price list. Confirm the target material, units, slab size and pricing meaning first. A vendor cost should not become a retail selling price by accident. Existing colors missing from the new file also need an explicit decision; keeping, flagging and removing them have different consequences for the catalog.

Inputs, outputs and an example to evaluate

Inputs: Materials, colors, thicknesses, pricing levels, fabrication charges and permitted supplier files.

Outputs: A maintained catalog and quote lines based on the selected geometry and pricing context.

Use one sample drawing to compare two customer price levels, then show a reviewed vendor update and the resulting quote.

Scope to understand

The review step remains essential. No row-level extraction accuracy percentage is established by the existence of the import feature.

Current product capabilities

The platform page connects countertop estimating and drawing with scheduling, inventory, crews, customer communication and financial work. The linked capability guides explain individual inputs and outputs within that broader workflow. Read the Features page →

The website widget uses the SlabOS drawing engine and the shop’s price list on the fabricator’s own website. It produces a draft quote with geometry and customer context; the shop chooses whether to show a price, a range or a review-first experience. Read the Website Quoting page →
