AI order entry for food distributors: emails and texts to ERP

What it does

Restaurants send orders to food distributors by email, text, and photo. Someone at the distributor retypes every one of them into the ERP. Asakana does that entry instead: orders land in the ERP already entered, and anything unclear goes to a person before it goes in. Live at US seafood distributors today, returning 40%+ of order-desk time to selling. Founded by a seafood distributor and a Gemini builder.
