We automate order entry for food distributors.
Asakana automates manual workflows across messages, spreadsheets, paperwork and existing systems without changing how your team works.
More software doesn’t mean less manual work.
Food distributors still rely on texts, calls, spreadsheets, and paperwork to run their businesses.
Even when companies invest in new software, sales reps are reluctant to change how they work. So the software goes unused, and the manual work remains.
Automation that works the way you do.

Your team keeps using the channels they know, and your customers keep ordering the way they always have.
Get the details right
We understand customer-specific habits, shorthand, and exceptions with high accuracy.

FAQ
- No behavior change: New systems in food distribution fail because staff will not use them. Asakana works behind the scenes, inside the tools you already have.
- Your reps should talk with customers: Online stores cut reps off from their customers and weaken the relationship. Your reps keep calling and texting. We do the back-office work behind those conversations.
- Complexity is our appetite: Whatever the format, however siloed the work, we learn it in detail and take it over.
Email, phone calls and voicemail, text messages, WhatsApp, WeChat, and the free-text orders your reps type up. Asakana puts all of them into one order workflow.

We backtest your cases thousands of times to make sure we do not make a single mistake. This is our core technology, built by someone who built Gemini. No other vendors have this level of accuracy.
Yes. Asakana connects to most ERPs, new and old. If your ERP has an API, we connect to it. If it does not, we build the connection.
