Alternative route
Compare Pepper by proving the first ordering job.
Pepper is positioned around AI-first distributor operations, ecommerce, ERP integration and enterprise distributor proof. Porosi is the stronger first demo when the supplier wants known customers ordering through its own branded app and web portal before a broad transformation project.
Use current accounts
Bring customer products, account prices, usual baskets, delivery notes and old manual orders into the comparison.
Follow staff review
Check what the supplier team receives after submission before fulfilment, delivery or finance work starts.
Score the first rollout
Decide whether the first win must be a broader platform rollout or supplier-owned app and web adoption.
One order, two perspectives
The right alternative depends on the job the supplier needs solved first.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, AI-first distributor operations, ecommerce storefronts, ERP integrations and customer ordering stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Supplier leaders need
- A comparison that separates platform breadth from customer adoption.
- A branded ordering route customers recognise as the supplier.
- A rollout path that does not force every picking, delivery or invoicingflow to change at once.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Orders with products, prices, notes and delivery details already attached.
- A dashboard review step for changes, exceptions and invoice-ready detail.
- Less manual cleanup from calls, WhatsApp, email, PDFs and old price lists.
