Transforming the buying process from a time sink into an efficient, profit-generating engine.

What We Do

Supplier Sync — an ACE-style catalog for non-ACE warehoused items. Send us your catalog once and let us do the rest. Open Supplier Sync

Supplier catalogs consolidated into one searchable source

One catalog, any format

Send us your catalog no matter the format — a spreadsheet, a PDF, an export from an old system. We clean it up and put it somewhere you can actually search.

Supplier items matched to a retailer's own SKUs

Matched to what you sell

We match supplier items to your own SKUs. You see what you already carry, what you're missing, and what it costs. We measure across every supplier at once instead of one catalog at a time.

Cost changes tracked so retailers see them early

Staying Ahead of Cost Changes

When a supplier changes the cost of something you sell, you see the old price and the new one side by side. You decide what to do instead of finding out about it a month later.

Meet the Founder

Andy Wilkerson (CEO and Owner of Blackhawk Hardware in Charlotte, NC) founded Profit Forge after experiencing firsthand how much friction exists for independent retailers in onboarding and maintaining supplier data.

“We’re building a suite of tools that simplifies the buying process and connects retailers, chains, and co-ops into a shared intelligence layer — unlocking the power of collective data for AI-driven pricing, inventory optimization, and business analytics.”

– Andy Wilkerson
