Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Availability route
Food stock availability changes the order before it changes the warehouse.
Fresh suppliers need availability context where staff can still review substitutions, quantities and customer expectations.
Expose availability states
Keep limited, unavailable or hidden products under supplier control in catalogue and order workflows.
Review substitutions
Check customer notes and changed lines before warehouse or dispatch teams act.
Carry context forward
Move availability decisions toward picking slips, delivery runs and invoice preparation.
One order, two perspectives
Fresh buyers need speed; supplier teams need availability control.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, fresh product availability, limited lines, unavailable items and substitutions stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Food customers need
- Fast repeat ordering for usual products.
- A clear route for notes and substitutions.
- Confidence that availability questions reach staff.
Supplier side
Fresh supplier teams need
- Availability states connected to the order.
- Short-stock warnings before picking pressure builds.
- Delivery and substitution context in the same review flow.
