Could you build this?
Partial The comparison dashboard is straightforward, but aggregating and normalizing real-time wholesale food pricing from multiple fragmented distributor catalogs/invoices requires complex OCR and distributor integrations.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires Next.js, an ETL pipeline using document OCR (AWS Textract or vision LLMs) to parse irregular supplier PDF invoices, and product master-data normalization algorithms to map vendor SKUs to common ingredients. The hard part is building EDI/API connections or scraping supplier portals (Sysco, US Foods) and handling volatile daily commodity pricing.
