The fastest way to launch product catalogs
We built Rastro to help distributors and manufacturers manage their messy product data and turn it into ready-to-launch catalogs. Our platform lets users pull vendor data, scrape online specs and pricing, fuzzy match products against their own databases, generate product images, and export all of this in their exact schema. It's designed for teams who have to assemble product catalogs quickly and accurately, without the usual headaches.
We live in London, United Kingdom, and plan to keep the company based here after YC too.
We're all here in London and our initial users are spread across retail and manufacturing sectors familiar to this market. Staying here lets us stay close to our primary customers and build on existing relationships while leveraging our local technical talent.
