Matterialis for suppliers and distributors

Your datasheets answer your buyers, on your website.

Matterialis turns the datasheets you already publish into structured data, and an assistant on your site that qualifies every buyer, around the clock.

What it is

Structured data and an AI layer over your own product catalogue.

We read the technical and safety datasheets you already publish and turn them into a structured database you own. On top of it sits an assistant that answers buyers on your website, qualifies them, and shows you what the market asked for. It sells what you sell and nothing else.

Your catalogue, structured in seconds per datasheet

Every PDF you publish goes through the pipeline: each property with its unit, test method and conditions, each classification, each claim. A datasheet takes seconds. A range of a thousand grades is structured the same day and reviewed by our materials scientists. What comes out is a database you can search by requirement and connect to anything, including your own AI.

A searchable, AI-ready catalogue, from documents you already publish.

We use a competitor's silver-filled epoxy today, datasheet attached. Need an equivalent with moisture absorption under 0.5 wt%.incumbent-silver-epoxy-TDS.pdf

Meets volume resistivity and cure schedule. The datasheet does not state moisture absorption, so that requirement is reported as not stated.
NF-4180 matches the incumbent on conductivity and cure. Your 0.5 wt% ceiling cannot be confirmed from the sheet; Northfield can supply the measured value. Shall I pass this to the applications team?

Yes, please. Also, what is the shelf life?Send

A sales engineer on every product page, all day

Buyers describe the application in their own words, or attach the datasheet of the product they use today. The assistant turns that into criteria, searches your range, and shows each requirement as met, missed, unclear or not stated, with the value from your sheet beside it. When the fit is there, it hands your team a qualified lead with the requirements already written down. When the sheet does not say, it says so and offers a person.

First response in seconds, the qualified lead in your inbox, and your team's time kept for the deals.

See what the market asks you for, and what you could not offer

Every conversation is yours to read, and the dashboard counts them: requests per day, which properties buyers ask for and at what thresholds, how often your best product met them, and where it missed. Unmet demand is listed apart. A column of misses is a product to develop. A column of not stated is a datasheet to finish, which is cheaper.

Live on your website with one line of code

We structure your datasheets. Your web team adds one script tag to the product pages. The assistant appears in the corner, in your brand colour, isolated from the rest of your page so nothing else changes. It runs only on the domains you allow, so nobody can lift it onto another site.

No platform migration. Your website, your domain, your leads.

Where we differ

A listing shows your product beside everyone else's. This answers on your site.

Most suppliers reach buyers through a marketplace, on its terms, or through a PDF library and a contact form. Matterialis puts a sales engineer on your own website, over your catalogue alone.

Trust

What your buyers hear is what your datasheets say.

Grounded

Grounded in your data.

Every answer comes from your datasheets. Each requirement is reported as met, missed, unclear or not stated, with the value from your sheet beside it. No value is invented, and no other supplier's product is ever shown.

Team

Built by materials scientists and chemists.

The team comes from IBM Research and the University of Cambridge, and the method is written up and patent pending. The people reviewing your structured catalogue read datasheets for a living.

Your data

Stored apart, owned by you, never used for training.

Your private catalogue lives in its own isolated store, owned and fully controlled by you. You can read, export and delete every conversation. Nothing you share is used to train shared models or shown on anyone else's site.


FAQ

The questions suppliers ask.

Will it ever recommend a competitor's product?

No. Every product the assistant shows, links or counts comes from your catalogue, by construction: the search it runs can only return your grades. If a buyer names a competitor's product or attaches its datasheet, the assistant looks for the products in your range that meet the same requirements and presents those on their own merits.

What do we need to provide?

Your datasheets. For most suppliers that means the technical and safety data sheets already on your website, which we read directly. If you have better data than you publish, such as measured values, approvals or application notes, you can share it and it will be used; nothing you share is used to train shared models. Then one script tag on your product pages, which your web team adds in minutes.

What happens when the datasheet does not answer the question?

The assistant says so. The requirement is shown as not stated, the buyer is told it is a gap in the document, and they are offered a person to ask. You see the question in your dashboard under documentation gaps, which is often the cheapest product improvement available: a value measured once and added to the sheet answers every future buyer who asks.

Can it make things up?

The parts that matter are not generated. Which products are shown, each requirement's verdict and the value beside it are computed from your datasheets, never written by the model. The model turns the buyer's words into criteria and explains the result in prose, and it is held to the values the search returned. It never quotes a price, lead time or approval that is not in your documents. Estimated values from similar products are always marked as estimates.

What do we learn from it?

Every conversation, in full, and the counts across them: which properties buyers ask for and at what thresholds, how often your best product met them, where it missed, which products lead and which get clicked, and the requests that found nothing at all. Product gaps and documentation gaps are listed separately, because one needs development and the other needs a datasheet update.

Does it work for distributors with several manufacturers' lines?

Yes. The catalogue is scoped to the products you sell, whoever makes them, and the assistant presents them as your range. If a line has to be kept out of the public assistant, it is left out of the scope.

Can our sales team use it internally?

Yes. Your sales and technical teams get the same search over your range, and can add internal test data, approvals and application notes to it. That workspace stays apart from the public assistant, so an inbound request gets a referenced answer in minutes and nothing internal reaches a buyer. An assistant that drafts those answers for your reps is the next piece of this product; ask us about timing.

Get started

See it on your own catalogue.

Send us a link to your technical library and we will structure a sample of your range before we talk. Two ways suppliers start:

01

A demo on your range

The assistant running over a sample of your own datasheets, answering the questions your buyers actually ask. Thirty minutes.

02

A pilot on one product line

Live on your website in a week, on one section of your range, with the dashboard, so the value is measured before it is extended.
