Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Inbox route
Email is a poor place to manage repeat wholesale orders.
Email can work for conversation, but routine ordering needs product, account and delivery detail captured in a structured way.
Capture product lines
Reduce missing codes, quantities and delivery dates before staff review.
Keep customer details
Products and prices remain connected to the customer account.
Centralise review
Supplier staff see orders in the dashboard rather than an inbox pile.
One order, two perspectives
Email replacement reduces inbox archaeology.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, free-text email orders, attachments, missing product codes and manual entry and back-and-forth confirmations stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Email-ordering customers need
- A web route for larger orders and purchasing teams.
- Products and previous orders instead of old attachments.
- Clear submission without waiting for an email response.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Less searching through inboxes for urgent orders.
- Fewer missing product codes, quantities and dates.
- A review workflow that supports customer service.
