Larger baskets
Wholesale orders often need product search, quantity review, delivery context and a wider view of the basket before checkout.
Supplier ordering portal
A supplier ordering portal for wholesale customers.
Porosi gives suppliers a branded web ordering portal for desktop buyers, office purchasing teams and customers who need a bigger screen than a mobile app. Buyers see account pricing, order history and supplier-branded ordering, while your team keeps the workflow behind it.
Why web ordering still matters
Desktop buyers need more than a mobile-first order form.
Office purchasing
Restaurants, schools, care homes, caterers and retailers often place orders from shared desks, laptops or back-office machines.
Account pricing
The portal should reflect the customer account before the order is placed: products, prices, visibility and order history.
App continuity
Some buyers reorder fastest on mobile. Others prefer browser. The supplier should not have to run two disconnected experiences.
Portal proof
The web portal should make life easier for the buyer and the order desk.
A supplier ordering portal is not just a website with a product list. It has to keep customer context visible, make repeat ordering practical and send usable order data into the supplier workflow.
Buyer portal home
Customers see a supplier-branded entry point with featured products, basket context and account navigation.
Order history
Buyers can return to previous orders and delivery details without calling the office for basic order status.
Supplier queue
The order arrives in a dashboard view where staff can scan status, customer, delivery date and totals before fulfilment.
Portal vs standard web shop
Wholesale customers need a portal that understands account context.

When comparing providers
Compare the portal by buyer adoption and staff impact, not only by product catalogue.
Fresho positions online ordering around a branded portal and live pricing, Orderlion positions an ordering app and web shop, and QuickB2B is known for app ordering with order management behind it. Porosi should be compared when the supplier wants the buyer portal, mobile apps and supplier dashboard to feel like one branded operation.

Rollout questions
Before choosing a supplier portal, prove the everyday order path.
01
Will desktop buyers actually use it?
Look at the order screen, saved context, product search, basket review and order history from the buyer's point of view.
02
Will mobile buyers have the same account context?
The portal should work alongside branded apps so buyers can switch route without losing products, pricing or order history.
03
Will the order desk trust the data?
Follow a submitted order into the supplier dashboard and check how delivery date, notes, statuses, totals and finance handoff appear.
FAQ
Supplier ordering portal questions.
What is a supplier ordering portal?
A supplier ordering portal is a web-based ordering route where trade customers can browse products, see account context, place repeat orders and view order history directly with a supplier.
How is a supplier portal different from a normal ecommerce store?
A supplier portal is built for known trade accounts, not anonymous retail shoppers. It should support customer-specific pricing, account access, repeat ordering, order history and a supplier workflow behind the submitted order.
Does Porosi include a mobile app as well as the portal?
Yes. Porosi supports branded app and web ordering so customers can use the channel that fits the order, while the supplier keeps one branded workflow.
Can customer pricing be different in the portal?
Porosi is designed around wholesale account context, so customer-specific pricing and product visibility can be part of the ordering experience before the buyer submits the order.
What should we bring to a supplier portal demo?
Bring your current order channels, customer account types, product and price-list complexity, the desktop buying routines you see today and the manual admin your order desk wants to reduce.
