Protect account access
Use approved customers, private product ranges and account users rather than a public retail storefront.
Wholesale Ecommerce Software for Food Suppliers

Supplier review completed
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Ecommerce route
Wholesale ecommerce software has to support the supplier operation behind the buyer screen.
A trade buyer experience is only useful if the submitted order carries customer, product, price and delivery details into the supplier workflow.
Support repeat buying
Make usual products, order history and account pricing easy for customers to use.
Keep the supplier brand
Let customers order through the supplier name across web and mobile routes.
Review operational output
Check how each order appears for staff before fulfilment, delivery planning or finance work.
One order, two perspectives
The ecommerce experience must reduce work on both sides.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, private catalogue ordering, account pricing, repeat baskets and customer web ordering stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Trade customers need
- A fast way to reorder usual products from web or mobile.
- The correct private products, prices and delivery details.
- A route that still feels like buying from the supplier.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Cleaner submitted orders than calls, emails or message threads.
- Visibility over account rules, notes and exceptions.
- A dashboard workflow before orders move downstream.
