The problem with cloud AI in retail and wholesale

Retail and wholesale live and die on inventory accuracy — and the data behind it is your competitive advantage: product costs, supplier pricing, margin math, purchase history. Cloud AI tools want all of it, and they want a subscription forever.

  • Product costs, supplier pricing, and margins feeding vendor cloud models
  • Overstock tying up capital while stockouts lose the sale
  • Per-seat SaaS stacks that grow with every register you add
  • Customer purchase history leaving the building
THE STARTER WORKFLOW

Catalog & Supplier Data Cleanup

One packaged job to start: your product data, cleaned and standardized — without leaving the building.

How it starts: Your product catalog and supplier price lists (spreadsheets, exports, PDFs) load onto your machine.

What you get: A cleaned, standardized catalog: vendor attribution, origin data, shipping claims verified, categories consistent — hundreds of listings corrected automatically, flagged items listed for your review.

Timeline: First pass within the first on-site day on your own hardware. Review rules tuned with your team before we leave.

Cloud-based AI rents you an assistant that lives in their building. TidalForge installs an assistant that lives in yours. Theirs learns for everyone; yours only knows your catalog and your customers.

The cloud alternative: per-seat cloud AI plus catalog tools, billed every month forever — with your product and supplier data on their servers. TidalForge: $900 once — the cleanup runs in your shop, on your hardware, data included.

What runs on your machine

Catalog automation

Listings cleaned and standardized at scale — vendor claims, origins, categories — checked automatically.

Inventory intelligence

Stock levels and reorder points on your hardware; alerts and reorder drafts generated for your approval.

Product knowledge assistant

A 24/7 assistant that answers customer questions from your actual catalog and policies — running on your machine.

Setup from $900 on hardware you already have (need a box? a 32GB+ mini PC runs ~$400–550, spec sheet included). Optional support after that — or self-manage and pay nothing.

It reads exports and feeds cleaned data back — your platform of record doesn't change. Direct platform integrations are separate workflows, quoted separately.

It's the job. Messy catalogs are exactly what the starter workflow is for — the cleanup is the product.

The system works on your data on your machine. Competitive web research is a separate capability we can scope — nothing about your pricing ever leaves.
