Commerce + Assistant platform
Wholesale kitchenware storefront software with a catalog-aware shopping assistant, owned and operated by PURPLECROWN KITCHENWARE Ltd.
Same pattern that works for real Canadian trade ecommerce: a live store buyers can complete orders in, plus company-owned software that turns a kitchen brief into a pack-aware order plan.
What ships today
1. Storefront
CAD catalog, filters, cart, shipping rules (free ≥ $250), tax estimate, invoice / e-Transfer / card-by-phone, accounts, orders, tracking.
2. Shopping Assistant
Parses venue, covers, budget, induction, and line intent. Scores live SKUs, sizes qty to case packs, returns subtotal/ship/tax, adds the plan to the same cart.
3. Scenario kits
Restaurant open, café, hotel/banquet, catering, cookware restock, induction upgrade: each is an executable buying job, not a brochure slogan.
4. Plan JSON
The assistant returns a versioned order plan the same cart and checkout already accept: line, pack size, subtotal, shipping, tax.
Assistant pipeline
- Brief in → venue / covers / constraints / optional scenario
- Score every in-stock SKU against the brief
- Quantity engine maps covers → units → case packs
- Budget trim keeps the plan under an optional CAD cap
- Plan out → editable qty → add line or add entire plan → checkout

Custom AI design + 3D make path
Alongside stocked wholesale, we run a custom workflow: structured design brief → AI-assisted concepts → 3D printed samples → small-batch print shipment or sample-then-mold/tooling for larger forecasts. Intake is live at /custom and emits a versioned JSON brief for ops.
Qty routing
≤20 sample/micro-batch · 21–200 small-batch print · >200 sample lock then tooling quote.
Brief handoff
Each custom request writes a versioned JSON brief for sample and tooling ops, using the same intake path as the live /custom form.
