FRB Collect VS GitHub Surf

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect is currently in its pilot stage and does not publicly list customers yet.

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect is built specifically for businesses that receive product orders through email, PDFs and other supported documents. Instead of forcing customers to change how they place orders, FRB Collect works with the existing order flow. It extracts and structures order information, matches order lines against the company’s own product catalogue, and flags uncertain or unknown information for human review rather than guessing. Approved orders can then be exported as structured CSV or Excel files. The focus is simple: reduce repetitive order-entry work while keeping people in control of the final result.

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect is designed around simplicity, control and the realities of B2B order processing. Businesses can continue receiving orders through familiar channels such as email and PDF while FRB Collect handles much of the work required to turn those orders into structured data. When information cannot be matched reliably, FRB Collect sends it for review instead of silently making assumptions. This gives businesses automation where it makes sense while maintaining human control where it matters. FRB Collect is also being developed with a strong focus on straightforward onboarding and avoiding unnecessary complexity for smaller and medium-sized businesses.

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect is primarily built for wholesalers, distributors and other B2B companies that receive product orders through email or attached documents and still spend time manually reading, checking and registering those orders. It is particularly relevant for businesses with an established product catalogue and recurring incoming orders where manual order entry creates unnecessary repetitive work.

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect started with a simple observation: in an increasingly digital business world, many product orders are still received through email and documents and then manually transferred into internal systems. FRB Collect was created to make that process simpler. The idea developed into a dedicated B2B order-processing platform focused on turning incoming orders into structured, reviewable data while keeping the business in control. FRB Collect is a Norwegian company founded by Marcus Crisera-Eilertsen and is currently in its pilot stage.

FRB Collect's answer

FRB Collect is built primarily with Python and FastAPI on the backend, PostgreSQL for data storage, and HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the web application and customer portal. The application and background processing services run on Railway. Local document processing includes technologies such as Tesseract and Poppler, while Excel generation uses openpyxl. The core order-processing system is rule- and code-based rather than relying on external generative AI models to interpret customer orders.
