How it works

One snap on the floor, a decision card at the hotel.

BuyPilot is not a notebook with extra buttons. It is a six-stage data pipeline. Each stage does work you would otherwise pay an analyst to do, by the trip’s end you have a structured shortlist instead of 400 photos and a sore thumb.

The pipeline

From a snap on the show floor to a decision-ready card.

Six stages. Each one is a real piece of infrastructure we run for you, not a marketing metaphor.

  1. 01

    Snap

    Photo, card, voice note, quote sheet. Whatever you have, in two seconds. Works offline.

  2. 02

    Read

    BuyPilot extracts MOQ, lead time, FOB, HS code, contact info. You don’t type a thing, but you can if you want to!

  3. 03

    Search

    Our system runs a visual product match across Amazon, eBay, Shopify, AliExpress and manufacturer marketplaces.

  4. 04

    Cross-check

    Amazon BSR rank, import-trade and compliance hints (no duty or freight $), trademark risk, factory verification. All in parallel.

  5. 05

    Synthesise

    All of it, on one decision card. Demand signal, compliance flags, IP risk.

  6. 06

    Decide

    You sort, filter, tag, follow up. Every commercial call is yours. We surface the facts.

What we do

Run the boring infrastructure, surface the facts.

  • Pull live retail prices from five marketplaces.
  • Check Amazon Best Seller Rank, history and reviews.
  • Cross-reference manufacturer listings on Alibaba and 1688.
  • Use official USITC HTS signals so research can flag import-duty topics to verify — no quoted duty % or freight $ in-app.
  • Flag trademark conflicts via USPTO records.
  • Surface compliance flags for your target markets: certifications (CE, FCC, RCM, WaterMark), labelling, restricted categories, hazmat / battery rules.
  • Compare supplier unit cost against live retail comps and surface cheaper wholesale options with per-row savings (no landed-cost or freight estimates).

What we never do

Make the call for you.

  • Auto-label any SKU as “buy” or “skip”.
  • Share your supplier list. It is yours. Export anytime as CSV or JSON.
  • Train a public model on your captures. Period.
