Customer Onboarding for Wholesale Ordering Software
Move customers into online ordering without weakening the supplier relationship.
Onboarding must introduce the branded app and web route while preserving the products, prices, order history and support customers already expect.

Manual channels reduced
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Onboarding route
Customer onboarding must feel like better service from the supplier.
The strongest launch avoids making customers feel pushed into generic software; it shows them the supplier-owned place to reorder faster with their own products and prices.
Explain the new route
Use the supplier brand, app name, web link and account-team message customers already recognise.
Support first orders
Help customers place usable first orders and capture where confusion appears.
Retire manual habits gradually
Reduce calls, WhatsApp and email once customers have a working replacement.
One order, two perspectives
Good onboarding protects customer trust while changing order habits.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, customer onboarding across account setup, buyer invitations, app download and web ordering stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Customers need
- Confidence that the app belongs to their supplier.
- Their usual products, prices and order history from day one.
- A simple path back to support when something is unclear.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- A clear view of which accounts are live and ordering.
- A way to handle exceptions without dragging every order back to manual channels.
- Cleaner order data as more customers adopt the route.
What the supplier receives
Onboarding works when customers recognise the service.
The supplier team receives one order record with customer onboarding across account setup, buyer invitations, app download and web ordering. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.
