Sales Case
Buratti: when the customer's menu becomes a sales opportunity.
How we turn ERP order data into appointments worth a field sales rep's time in food wholesale.
At Buratti GmbH, years of order data sit in the ERP while field sales does its research by hand out in the field. We brought the two together.

The sales cockpit
The customer's menu meets your sales data.
The AI overlays the customer's public offering onto your order history and shows in black and white which product is missing from the assortment, along with ready-made material for the meeting. On the tablet, right there for the appointment.

The starting point
Across B2B wholesale, one contradiction runs through almost every sales operation: field reps spend hours researching leads while the exact order history of every customer sits unused in the ERP system. Who buys what, who doesn’t buy what yet, it’s all there. Nobody just accesses it.
Then there’s the approach. Anyone who wants to sell a restaurateur the right product needs to know what’s on their menu. That information is public, but no rep manages to look it up for every customer before every appointment.
With Buratti GmbH, a food wholesaler, and the sales experts at TVE, we tackled exactly this point. Buratti supplies restaurants and hotels, its stock of ERP data is huge, its field sales is close to the customer. Good conditions to show what’s possible.
The line was clear from the start: the AI takes the research and the preparation off sales’ hands. The person at the table, it does not replace.
What Buratti, TVE and steps2grow add up to together
Three contributions that complement each other: the deep-tech competence of steps2grow, the practical pressure of Buratti’s day-to-day business and the sales psychology of TVE.
- Time to sell: field sales no longer loses whole mornings to research. The argument for the conversation lies ready on the tablet.
- Fuller baskets: cross- and up-selling recommendations tailored to the customer’s offering, such as their current menu, raise the order value per appointment.
- Security that holds: over 800 hours of development went into the base platform. The system is GDPR-compliant, works LLM-agnostically and is prepared for the requirements of the EU AI Act.
We are not building yet another CRM. We are building the sales infrastructure for the wholesalers who want to lead their market tomorrow.

The system
The three stages of the system.
From the first automatic market scan to support in the closing conversation, all on one platform that fits on a tablet in the field.
The market comes to sales (lead radar)
The system scans the region on its own for new businesses and potential customers via suitable, publicly available data sources.
Result Instead of searching themselves, the team gets a daily-updated lead radar every morning, pre-sorted by relevance and location. The new venue two streets over shows up before the competitor even hears about it.
Field sales gets backup (mobile sales cockpit)
The AI sits on the tablet as an assistant and feeds the rep, in real time, everything they need for the appointment.
Result The system analyses publicly available information about the target customer, such as their website and their menu, overlays it with the internal sales data and shows in black and white which product is missing from the customer's range. On top of that comes ready-made material for the conversation: a recipe suggestion for the restaurateur, an offer text, an ad creative. The rep sees the gap and has the argument right there.
The human finishing touch (support from TVE)
The technology delivers the data, TVE delivers the closing power. Within the AI in Sales initiative, TVE's sales experience feeds directly into the system.
Result TVE accompanies the rollout strategically. Together we align the nurturing processes, the content, the chat modules and the emails so they fit the respective decision-maker. In guided consulting, the team learns how to turn the AI's prompts out in the field into real revenue.
