The market moves. Your prices don't.
In-house LLM + Guardrails·every SKU decomposed on day 1
Crowy decomposes every SKU into its true cost drivers; commodities, transport, labour, packaging, and more. When markets move, Crowy shows which supplier prices should move too, which SKUs to buy ahead of spikes, and where concentration risk could hurt your margins.
