Your best customers order the slowest way possible
Trade orders arrive by phone, email or PDF. Someone re-keys them. Pricing is looked up per customer. Stock is confirmed by asking the warehouse. The customers who spend the most are the ones consuming the most manual effort per order, and growth means hiring more order processors.
- Orders re-keyed from email into the ERP
- Contract pricing looked up manually every time
- Customers calling to check stock
- No self-service for reordering routine lines
- Order volume capped by how many people process them
What trade customers get
Account-specific pricing
Each customer signs in and sees their own contracted prices, volume breaks and agreed terms — no price lists to circulate.
Live stock and lead times
Real availability from your ERP, including expected dates for lines currently out of stock.
Quick order and reorder
Reorder from history, upload a CSV, or type part numbers straight into a grid — built for buyers who know exactly what they want.
Saved carts and templates
Recurring order templates and saved baskets for customers who buy the same mix regularly.
Approval limits and spending controls
Multiple users per account with spend thresholds and internal approval before an order is submitted.
Credit terms and invoicing
Purchase order references, payment terms, credit limit checks and automatic invoicing into your finance system.
Quote requests
Buyers request pricing on non-standard lines or volumes, and your team responds inside the same system.

Frequently asked
The ones who order frequently will, because self-service is faster for them than waiting on your desk. We prioritise onboarding by order volume, which is where the manual saving is concentrated. Phone ordering usually stays available for the long tail.
Yes, including the complicated ones — customer-specific rates, volume breaks, time-limited promotions, contract pricing per product line, and different rules by territory.
Yes. Pricing, stock and order submission read and write directly, so an order placed online enters the ERP exactly as one keyed by your team would. SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics and custom systems are all in scope.
