πŸš€ Introducing SupplierSignal AI: Smarter Supplier Verification with Open-Weight AI

Hello DEV Community! πŸ‘‹

I'm excited to share SupplierSignal AI, a project developed by our team Code Killers for Hacktoberfest.

πŸ’‘ The Problem

Small online sellers often manage supplier commitments through messages while invoices and received-stock records come in different formats. Manually comparing these records takes time, and discrepancies in product details, prices, or quantities can go unnoticed, potentially leading to financial losses and supplier disputes.

πŸ› οΈ Our Solution

SupplierSignal AI is a mobile-friendly, local-first web application designed to help small sellers verify supplier commitments against invoices and received goods.

The application aims to:

πŸ€– Use Gemma, an open-weight AI model, to extract structured information from purchase records.

πŸ“‹ Compare supplier commitments, invoice details, and received-stock information.

πŸ” Flag potential discrepancies, missing information, and uncertain matches.

πŸ“„ Generate discrepancy reports to support further investigation.

πŸ” Keep sensitive business records under the seller's control through a local-first approach.

The goal is to make purchase verification more organised, transparent, and efficient.

βš™οΈ How It Works

Create a purchase case.

Add the supplier agreement or message.

Enter the invoice details.

Add the goods actually received.

Analyse the records and review the resulting report.

🧰 Technology

Python β€” backend logic

Gemma β€” open-weight AI-assisted information extraction

Ollama β€” local model runtime

Web technologies β€” user interface and application workflow

🌱 What We Learned

Building SupplierSignal AI helped us explore how open-weight AI can be combined with application logic to address a practical business problem. We also learned about structuring records, comparing extracted information, and presenting potential discrepancies in a useful report.

This is an evolving prototype, and we aim to improve extraction accuracy, evidence traceability, and the review workflow in future iterations.

πŸ™Œ Feedback Welcome!

We would love to hear your suggestions. What additional checks would be useful for small sellersβ€”for example, product-size mismatches, duplicate invoices, or delivery-date verification?

Thank you to the DEV and MLH communities for creating opportunities to learn, build, and share open-source projects!
