Wholesale Ordering System for Small Business
Build the first wholesale ordering system around customer adoption.
Use branded app and web ordering to clean up customer orders before deciding which operations, finance or warehouse systems need deeper integration.

Invoice preparation clarified
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
System route
A small business ordering system must solve the customer order first.
Porosi is not a full ERP, warehouse management system or enterprise resource planning replacement; it keeps the first small-business system win focused on known customers, agreed prices, delivery notes and reviewable baskets before picking, delivery or invoicing starts.
Keep account rules visible
Products, prices, users and delivery notes must be part of the basket, not staff memory.
Use app and web together
Support phone-first customers and office-led buyers without creating separate order records.
Leave room for next step
Decide later which accounting, route or warehouse connections need deeper scope.
One order, two perspectives
Small teams need a system boundary they can understand and operate.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, customer app ordering, browser ordering, usual products and agreed prices stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Business owners need
- A defined first system that reduces order capture work.
- A way to protect customer relationships under their own brand.
- Clear boundaries around what remains in finance, warehouse or route tools.
Supplier side
Staff need
- Reviewable orders instead of scattered requests.
- Visibility over account price, note and delivery details.
- Confidence that automation has not hidden exceptions.
What the supplier receives
What matters in small-business systems: the first order workflow.
The supplier team receives one order record with customer app ordering, browser ordering, usual products and agreed prices. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.
System scope
Everything at once
The project becomes too large before adoption is proven.
Focused order system
Porosi starts with app, web and staff review.
Customer route
Manual default
Buyers still use calls and messages for normal orders.
Branded app and web
Customers get a direct route back to the supplier.
Next step
Unclear automation
Staff do not know what happens after checkout.
Controlled next step
Review happens before finance or operations takes over.
Rollout
Prove the system with orders that expose real daily friction.
Use routine orders, larger office baskets and one messy exception so the supplier sees what the system changes.
Select real examples
Use orders that currently arrive through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Check both buyer routes
Submit one app order and one browser order with account pricing.
Confirm next actions
Review what staff, operations and finance do after submission.
