Order review ready
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Catalogue route
A wholesale catalogue is operational data, more than a storefront.
Product ranges have to carry category, price, availability, image and status context into the order flow so staff do not repair catalogue mistakes after checkout.
Control product status
Use available, limited, not available and hidden states to shape what customers can act on.
Show specials and featured lines
Highlight the products suppliers want buyers to notice without turning ordering into a consumer marketplace.
Review before fulfilment
Keep catalogue context tied to submitted order lines before warehouse, delivery and finance teams rely on them.
One order, two perspectives
Buyers need a clear catalogue; staff need catalogue decisions they can trust.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, product categories, product images, featured products and special lines stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Trade customers need
- Products grouped by the way they actually buy.
- Current availability, specials and account prices before checkout.
- A focused catalogue that does not expose irrelevant private ranges.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Category, product and image changes that reach app and web ordering.
- Status controls for hidden, unavailable, limited, featured and special lines.
- Catalogue context visible when submitted orders are reviewed.
What the supplier receives
Compare catalogue software by what reaches the order.
