Wholesale Distributor Ordering App

Launch distributor app ordering as the connected customer-ordering layer.

Give known customers a branded ordering route first, then decide which ERP, warehouse, route, payment or sales tools still need deeper integration.

App route

Use the app to clean up repeat demand before bigger system decisions.

Porosi helps distributors prove customer ordering adoption and staff review before broader operating software, route execution or ERP replacement becomes the project.

01

Start with one buyer

Use a real customer that already orders repeatedly and has a reason to stop calling, emailing or sending WhatsApp lists.

02

Load customer details

Check products, favourites, price list, delivery notes, users and order history before rollout.

03

Check web fallback

Confirm office-led buyers can use the browser route without splitting the order record from mobile users.

04

Follow staff review

Inspect what the order desk sees before fulfilment, delivery planning or finance work starts.

One order, two perspectives

The app only matters if customers use it and staff trust what arrives.

A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, repeat customer ordering, delivery dates, route notes and account-specific catalogues stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.

Customer side

Trade buyers need

  • A familiar supplier-branded route for repeat buying.
  • Account products, delivery notes and previous orders available when ordering.
  • A clear boundary between customer ordering and wider distributor operations.
Supplier side

Supplier teams need

  • Submitted orders with products, quantities, notes, customer and delivery details attached.
  • A review step for changed lines, exceptions and account questions before picking, delivery or invoicing depends on the order.
  • A rollout plan that measures real adoption instead of assuming downloads equal changed ordering habits.
What the supplier receives

What matters in app ordering: habit change and order quality.

The supplier team receives one order record with repeat customer ordering, delivery dates, route notes and account-specific catalogues. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.

Buyer habit
Manual channels

Customers default to phone, WhatsApp, email or spreadsheets when the order is urgent.

Supplier-owned app

Customers repeat usual products under the supplier brand with web fallback when needed.

Account control
Generic checkout

Products, prices and users need cleanup after submission.

Account-aware route

Catalogue, price list, delivery notes and customer roles are attached before review.

Operations
Unstructured order

Staff still interpret shorthand before picking, delivery or invoice work.

Reviewed order

The dashboard gives staff cleaner detail before the order moves downstream.

Rollout

Launch the app with accounts that reveal adoption risk.

Use a small group that includes fast mobile buyers, office-led buyers and one messy manual-order account.

01

Invite likely adopters

Start with customers that order often enough for favourites and order history to matter.

02

Watch support questions

Track login confusion, missing products, price questions, delivery notes and manual-channel fallback.

03

Score order quality

Compare calls avoided, corrections, repeat app orders, web orders and staff review time after the first wave.
