Almost every wholesaler we meet is running two platforms and reconciling them by hand.
The second system is never as good as the first, and the stock count is wrong in at least one of them by lunchtime.
What it removes
1
stock count, shared by the trade counter and the website.
Two systems syncing overnight means two numbers disagreeing by morning, and somebody spending an hour every day deciding which one to believe. One system does not answer that question faster — it removes it.
What a company account is
Not a person with a bigger basket.
Several buyers
Each with their own permissions on one account
Agreed price lists
Per company or per group, with end dates
Quotes
Requested, negotiated, converted without re-keying
Purchase orders
Because their finance team requires one
Net terms
Net 30 with credit limits that are enforced
Tax exemptions
Handled per account, not as a manual discount
One catalogue
One product list, one stock count, two price books
A trade order
From enquiry to invoice, without re-keying anything.
-
01
A quote is requested
From the catalogue, at their agreed prices, by any buyer on the account who is permitted to ask.
-
02
It is negotiated
Lines added, quantities changed, a price agreed — with a record of who changed what, kept against the account.
-
03
It converts to an order
The quote becomes the order becomes the picking list. Nobody types it in twice, so nobody types it in wrong.
-
04
It is paid on terms
Net 30 with a credit limit that is enforced rather than merely recorded, and a statement the account can pull itself.
Next step
See it with your own products in it.
We will load a sample of your catalogue with a trade price list beside the retail one, so you can see both against your own products.
- What we will want
- A sample of your real catalogue
- What you will see
- Your business, not a demo shop
- What we will tell you
- Honestly, whether this is worth moving for yet
