Getting started

PIE is a two-sided platform. Start with the quickstart that matches your role — each is a validated, end-to-end path.

• Producer quickstart — you produce product data (a cooperative, farm, or processor). Sign up, invite your team, create and publish your first product, and grant a buyer access.
• Buyer quickstart — you consume product data (a retailer, distributor, or restaurant chain). Sign up, receive grants, browse your catalogue, and request supplier onboarding.

Both start the same way: you create a free account yourself. There is no invitation to wait for, no card to enter, and no sales call. You move up a plan later, from inside the app, only if your catalogue outgrows the free one.
