Manual habits reduced
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Adoption route
Move customers into app ordering without making them feel pushed away.
The app has to feel like a better route to the supplier, with familiar products, account terms and support available while customers build a new ordering habit.
Explain the supplier route
Use the supplier brand, account-team message and app name customers already recognise.
Support first baskets
Help buyers place orders that match their usual products, prices, notes and delivery expectations.
Change defaults carefully
Reduce calls, emails and WhatsApp only after the account has a working online route.
One order, two perspectives
Adoption works best when buyers get speed and suppliers keep control.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, early adopter accounts, repeat baskets, app invitations and web fallback stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Trade buyers need
- Fast repeat access to products they already buy.
- Confidence that prices, order history and delivery notes are still supplier-specific.
- A web option for larger baskets or office-led ordering.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Visibility over which accounts have been invited, activated and supported.
- A way to keep first-order help close without rebuilding every order manually.
- Cleaner submitted orders before fulfilment, delivery and finance work.
