While both companies serve the hospitality industry, the key difference lies in our backgrounds, approach to tackling challenges, and commitment to offering a comprehensive, user-friendly, and feature-packed solution. WISK was created with a focus on front-of-house operations, specifically inventory management, and aims to alleviate the time-consuming and tedious process of taking inventory. As a result, WISK boasts the fastest and most accurate inventory solution on the market.
WISK's founding team possesses extensive experience in front-of-house and liquor inventory management. They recognized that existing solutions were clunky, repetitive, and didn't cater to the needs of staff members who often needed quick onboarding due to the high turnover rate typically seen in the front-of-house areas of bars and restaurants.
On the other hand, Marketman's team initially focused on restaurant inventory, with food inventory being their core product and the first offering they launched on October 21, 2016. While Marketman has one of the most robust back-of-house analytics on the market, WISK's expertise in front-of-house operations sets it apart by providing tailored solutions that cater to the unique needs of the hospitality industry.
In short, if you're seeking a platform tailored to your needs, designed to streamline inventory management, and help your business flourish – all while delivering an outstanding user experience – then you've come to the right place. We created WISK to be the premier solution for businesses like yours in the hospitality industry.

Our users emphasize our user-friendly interface and how our app actually helps with the counting process. While Marketman offers great backend analytics and reporting, using their system can be challenging. WISK's intuitive design and easy-to-use interface make it a popular choice for businesses in the hospitality industry.
Invoice management is a critical aspect of maintaining an organized and efficient inventory system. While MarketMan relies on OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for invoice processing, this approach can leave room for errors and create duplicate items that can cause chaos on the back-end.
WISK, on the other hand, employs a combination of advanced technology and human oversight to ensure the highest level of accuracy in invoice management. Our team of experts reviews and verifies each invoice to eliminate errors, merge duplicate items, and maintain a clean and organized database. By addressing variations in product price points and supplier discrepancies, we help streamline your inventory management process.
