About Shopleton
Shopleton is an autonomous B2B sales department for manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors. It discovers, researches, and talks to business buyers — then delivers closed purchase orders. It behaves like an experienced sales representative, not a chatbot.
Status: Alpha — invitation only. This page is the canonical, factual description of Shopleton for people and retrieval systems.
What it is
A service that runs a sales department on your behalf
Outcome-based
It is measured by business results — new customers, purchase orders, revenue, retention — not by the volume of messages sent.
Supervised
It answers only from approved manufacturer information and hands off to a human when information is missing. The manufacturer reviews and fulfills every order.
Position
What Shopleton is not
Not a marketing platform
It does not blast generic messages at strangers and is not measured by volume sent.
Not a support chatbot
It does not deflect support tickets or answer from the open internet.
A sales representative
It builds long-term commercial relationships and brings you closed purchase orders.
Who it's for
Businesses that sell to other businesses
Shopleton is built for companies that produce or move physical goods and sell them to other companies, not end consumers.
Manufacturers
Companies that produce goods and want a sales department that finds and converts B2B buyers.
Wholesalers
Companies that buy goods in bulk and resell them to other businesses.
Distributors
Companies that move goods from manufacturers to retailers or other businesses, often with logistics and credit.

Operating principles
How the representative behaves
The AI represents the manufacturer professionally at all times. When information is missing, it hands off to a human — transparently.
It always
- Represents the manufacturer professionally.
- Answers from approved manufacturer information only.
- Hands off to a human when information is unavailable.
It never
- Invents specifications, pricing, delivery dates, or stock.
- Negotiates commercial terms without explicit authorization.
- Pressures customers into a purchase.
- Sends generic, mass, or spam-like messages.
