The operations platform for food wholesale and e-grocery

ELSOP runs orders, warehouse, pick-by-weight, delivery and payments in one multi-tenant platform, with an AI layer built on Claude, from a voice shopping assistant for customers to an operations copilot for staff. Our goal: an end-to-end, voice-first ERP.

The problem

Food businesses run on disconnected tools

A typical food wholesaler or grocery delivery business keeps orders in one system, stock in a spreadsheet, picking on paper and deliveries in a chat group. Variable-weight products (meat, cheese, produce) make every order different from what was ordered, so prices, invoices and payments drift apart. ELSOP puts the whole chain from order to delivered invoice into one platform.

Platform

One platform, from order to doorstep

Multi-tenant SaaS: every business gets its own isolated workspace, branding, roles and payment account. Web back office plus mobile apps for customers, pickers and drivers. Available in German, English and Turkish. Sales and CRM, finance and ledger, and HR and payroll modules are built and roll out in 2027.

Order management

B2B and B2C orders from web shop, mobile app and sales reps, with customer-specific prices, catalogues and order rules.

Warehouse management

Stock levels, locations, batches and best-before dates, inbound goods and inventory counts, for one or several warehouses.

Pick-by-weight fulfilment

A picker app with barcode scanning and weight capture. Variable-weight items are priced on the real weight, so the final charge matches what was delivered.

Delivery logistics

Delivery slots, route planning and a driver app for same-day and scheduled delivery.

Payments

Each business connects its own Stripe account (card, PayPal, Klarna). Payment keys are stored encrypted, and payment endpoints are protected by rate limits, lockouts and an emergency stop.

Security by default

Tenant isolation enforced in the database (PostgreSQL row-level security), secrets in a server-side vault, and an automated suite of more than 380 security checks that runs against production every night.

AI & Claude

Claude is at the core of how ELSOP is built and how it thinks

We use Claude in two ways: to build the platform, and inside the product as the reasoning layer on top of each business's operational data.

In use

Built with Claude Code

ELSOP is developed by a solo founder with Claude Code as the engineering team: agent sessions work from written work orders, and every change is verified before release. Database migrations, security policies, edge functions, the Flutter apps and the nightly security suite were all built this way.

Built

Multi-tenant AI gateway

All AI calls go through one server-side gateway. Each business has its own model configuration with a fallback chain, and Claude, called through the Anthropic Messages API, is the default model for every new AI feature. API keys stay in a server-side vault; apps never talk to a model provider directly.

Smart Chef for shoppers

In the e-grocery app, shoppers get recipe ideas from their basket or from a photo of their fridge. Per-business quotas and caching keep cost predictable. Smart Chef was built on Gemini and is moving to Claude, including Claude's vision for fridge photos.

Built · launches 14 Nov 2026

Voice shopping assistant

Shoppers talk to the e-grocery app in a live conversation and shop hands-free. The assistant searches products, browses categories, adds and removes items, applies coupons, answers delivery questions and starts checkout through 13 app tools. Each business sets the assistant's voice, persona and language, with per-session and per-hour limits. It runs in our staging environment today and goes live with the pilot on 14 November 2026. It was built on Gemini Live; we are moving its reasoning and tool use to Claude (speech-to-text → Claude → text-to-speech).

Next 12 months

Operations copilot

Staff ask by text or by voice ("which orders are at risk for the 4 pm slot?", "what runs out before Friday?"). Claude answers by calling ELSOP tools on live order, stock and delivery data, and proposes actions the user confirms.

Next 12 months

Catalogue enrichment and translation

Product descriptions, allergens and category data generated and translated into German, English and Turkish for catalogues of thousands of items, with human review.

Next 12 months

Anomalies, summaries, support

Unusual picking weights and payment patterns flagged, a daily operations summary for managers, and draft replies for customer support in the customer's language.

Vision

ELSOP – Enterprise Level System Operation Platform

Our goal is an end-to-end, voice-first ERP. Every employee works in one place, with one assistant that knows the whole business and is always on: on the desktop, on the phone, in the warehouse and in the car. You run your work by talking to it, and it asks you before anything important happens.

On the road

A supplier invoice arrives while you drive. The assistant reads it out, compares it with the purchase order and the goods received, and asks: "Approve payment of €4,120 to this supplier?" You answer by voice.

Sales and CRM

"Which key accounts have not ordered this month? Call list for tomorrow, and draft an offer for the top three." Customer history, prices and open orders come from the same system.

Approvals, not autopilot

The assistant prepares; people decide. Every action with consequences, like a payment, a price change or a refund, needs an explicit confirmation from someone whose role allows it, and is written to an audit log.

Why Claude: a voice ERP lives on long context (a whole business), reliable tool use across dozens of modules, and careful behaviour around approvals. That is the work we are building on Claude.

Planned usage

Expected Claude token volume

Claude is our default model, so AI volume grows with every tenant we onboard. Planning estimate for one mid-sized Enterprise-plan tenant (AI included) (about 15 staff users and 200 active shoppers a day) once all features above run on Claude.

FeatureAssumptionTokens / month
Voice shopping assistant60 voice sessions a day × ~15 turns × ~5,000 tokens (conversation, 13 tool definitions, product results)≈ 135 M
Voice operations copilot (staff)15 users × 40 voice or text turns a day × ~6,000 tokens (context and tool results)≈ 108 M

PhaseTenantsClaude tokens / month
Development (now)Claude Code builds the platform dailycontinuous
Pilot (from 14 Nov 2026)1 e-grocery tenant; Smart Chef and the voice assistant launch on Gemini and move to Claude during the pilot. Basis: 5–20 voice sessions and about 100 Smart Chef sessions a day≈ 20–55 M
Growth (2027)3–5 mid-sized Enterprise tenants, voice assistant on Claude, copilot live≈ 0.8–1.3 B
Target (end of 2027)10 mid-sized Enterprise tenants, voice copilot for all staff≈ 2.7 B

The pilot is lower because customer AI launches on Gemini and moves to Claude during the pilot, with early, low traffic; the staff copilot and the move of the voice assistant to Claude roll out during 2027. AI usage is priced into the subscription; startup credits would fund the move to Claude and the pilot phase before revenue. These are planning estimates, not measured figures. We will publish measured usage once the pilot is live.

About ELSOP

ELSOP is developed by Buğrahan Talha Karaman, an industrial engineer (Ford-Werke) and supply chain and business process consultant since 2018, based in Germany. The platform grew out of hands-on work with supply chain, food wholesale and e-grocery operations, where order, stock and delivery data usually live in separate tools.

ELSOP is bootstrapped. The first pilot customer, a German e-grocery business, goes live on 14 November 2026.
