Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Shortlist route
Choose the best wholesale ordering software by proving the customer migration.
A supplier shortlist must include branded app ordering, web ordering, manual-channel reduction, pricing control, onboarding effort, support risk, retained admin and the order-to-invoice next step.
Score order desk relief
Use current calls, WhatsApp, emails and PDFs to see what work actually disappears after the order arrives.
Score account control
Apply real customer prices, product access, delivery days, cut-offs, delivery notes, account users and order history.
Score finance readiness
Follow a submitted order into staff review, changed-line decisions, fulfilment details and invoice preparation.
One order, two perspectives
The best platform is the one customers adopt and staff trust.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, branded buyer app ordering, web portal ordering, manual-channel cleanup and account pricing stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Decision makers need
- A shortlist that compares real food wholesale orders, not generic demo catalogues.
- A clear view of branded app and web adoption risk before launch.
- Evidence that the platform reduces manual admin after the first customers move online.
Supplier side
Order teams need
- Orders with product, price, account and delivery details attached.
- A visible way to handle substitutions, changed quantities and customer notes without hiding risk.
- Less cleanup before fulfilment, delivery planning and invoice preparation.
What the supplier receives

Supplier-owned ordering
Porosi tests app and web ordering with real buyer habits, usual baskets and account prices.
Office work
Order capture only
Staff may still decode messages, fix quantities and chase missing order detail.
Reviewable workflow
Orders arrive with customer details, customer notes and exception visibility before picking, delivery or invoicing starts.
Cost fit
Licence comparison
The lowest monthly line can miss setup, launch effort and retained admin.
Rollout economics
