Wholesale software, decoded
Understand the terms that actually change a wholesale order.
Wholesale software language becomes useful when it explains who can order, what they can see, what staff can change and how the record moves after checkout. This glossary defines each term through that practical Porosi lens.
Supplier-branded experienceAccount-aware orderingConnected staff workflow
Customer ordering terms
Start with the route your trade customer uses.
These terms describe the customer-facing entry points and the account context that makes B2B ordering different from public retail ecommerce.
Supplier ordering portal
A private browser route where approved customers place orders with supplier-controlled access.
Account pricing
Product and price context associated with a specific trade customer rather than one public price list.
Usual products
The lines a customer buys repeatedly, surfaced to shorten the next basket.
Order history
Past submitted orders that help buyers and staff understand prior demand and repeat purchases.
Buyer user
An approved person who can access and order for a customer organisation.
Supplier operation terms
Checkout is the start of the working order—not the end.
Wholesale teams still need to check what can be supplied, coordinate downstream work and preserve a clear record of every decision.
01
Order review
The supplier checkpoint for quantities, notes, prices, availability, delivery context and exceptions.
02
Order status
The visible stage of the order, such as submitted, accepted, invoiced, paid or cancelled.
03
Picking slip
A warehouse document that turns approved product and quantity detail into pick-ready work.
04
Stock context
Availability and quantity signals shown near the order so staff can make fulfilment decisions.
05
Delivery run
The grouping and sequence of approved orders prepared for a route or driver.
06
Exception
Anything that needs staff judgement before the order can move safely to the next stage.
Finance and integration terms
The best accounting handoff starts with a reviewed order.
Finance terminology matters because prices, quantities, credits and delivery reality can change between customer submission and the final invoice.
Invoice-ready order
An order whose customer, products, quantities, prices and exception decisions have been reviewed for finance use.
Connected invoice
An accounting invoice linked to the Porosi order so approved corrections can remain coordinated.
Credit note
A finance document that reduces or reverses invoice value after an agreed correction.
API
An approved technical interface used to exchange defined data between Porosi and another system.
ERP handoff
The agreed point where reviewed order data moves into a supplier's wider enterprise system.
System of record
The system treated as authoritative for a particular kind of business data or decision.
Questions
Wholesale ordering terminology questions.
What is the difference between an ordering app and a portal?
The app is the mobile iOS or Android experience; the portal is the browser experience. In Porosi they connect to the same customer account and supplier workflow.
What makes an app fully white-label?
The supplier identity—not a shared marketplace—defines the customer-facing name, icon, colours and ordering experience.
Why is order review important?
Wholesale quantities, availability, notes, delivery detail and prices can need staff judgement before fulfilment or finance relies on the order.
What does connected mean in Porosi?
The same order record continues across customer ordering, staff review, fulfilment, delivery, invoicing and approved integration handoffs.
Next step
Use one real order to make every term concrete.
A Porosi walkthrough can show the app, portal, account pricing, review, fulfilment and invoice record together instead of explaining them in isolation.
