Why Wholesale Is Killing Your Profits

You're either managing wholesale in spreadsheets (and bleeding money) or avoiding it entirely because there's no good system.

QuickBooks Doesn't Understand Bakeries

It's built for generic invoicing, not recurring orders or per-customer pricing for 50 different products.

Coffee and Donut (1)

Spreadsheets Break Everything

Managing wholesale pricing, orders, and invoicing in Excel? One wrong formula and you're undercharging everyone. And good luck tracking account balances.

You're Drowning in Phone Calls

Coffee shops calling at 6am to place orders. Restaurants texting changes. Customers asking for invoices. You need another person just to answer the phone.

Track Every Detail of Your Wholesale Relationships

Manage organizations with multiple locations, custom pricing, flexible payment options, and complete order history—all in one place.

Organizations & Multi-Location Accounts

One coffee shop chain with 5 locations? Manage them as a single organization with location-specific managers, delivery preferences, and billing contacts.

  • Multiple physical locations under one account
  • Role-based access (only one user can invoice orders)
  • Separate billing contact for AP
  • Location-specific delivery preferences & hours

Running Balances & Flexible Payment Options

Set payment expectations per customer—whether they pay at time of order, on pickup/delivery, or via invoice. Track account balances and payment history at a glance.

  • Payment due at order, pickup, or invoice
  • Running account balances
  • Apply payments to specific invoices or oldest first
  • View last payment date/amount on customer accounts

Complete Customer Profiles

Store everything you need to know about each wholesale account—from delivery keys to emergency contacts.

  • Business info, Tax ID, hours of operation
  • Delivery keys, alarm codes, special instructions
  • Location-specific managers & emergency contacts
  • Account notes & order preferences

Tax-Exempt Orders

Handle tax-exempt wholesale customers properly. Store exemption numbers and apply them automatically.

  • Mark customers as tax-exempt
  • Store tax exempt numbers
  • Automatically apply exemptions to orders

Manage Pricing for 100 Customers Without Losing Your Mind

Create product catalogs with custom pricing, then assign them to customer groups. Update pricing once, apply to everyone.

Scalable Custom Pricing

Stop setting prices manually for every single customer. Create "Wholesale Menus" with product lists and pricing, then assign them to customer groups.

Example Use Cases:

Coffee Shop Menu: 20 products (bread + pastries) at wholesale pricing → Assign to 10 coffee shop customers
Restaurant Menu: Dinner rolls, desserts, custom items → Assign to 5 restaurant accounts
Gas Station Menu: Grab-and-go items → Assign to 15 convenience store locations
VIP Pricing: Marriott Downtown's negotiated prices → Assign to one customer only

The power: Change a price in the "Coffee Shop Menu" and it updates for all 10 customers instantly. No manual updates. No mistakes.

Manual Orders

Take one-off orders over the phone or let customers place them online through the Customer Portal.

Recurring Orders

Orders that auto-generate daily, weekly, or monthly. Set it once, it runs forever until you change it.

"It saves me hours a day. I would have to hire someone if I didn't have wholesale. "

Recurring Orders Save Hours Every Week

Set up orders that auto-generate on a schedule—daily, weekly, or monthly. Configure lead times and lock times so orders appear in production reports automatically. Customers can adjust quantities before the cutoff via the portal.

Let Your Wholesale Customers Manage Their Own Orders

Give customers 24/7 access to place orders, view invoices, and pay balances online. Reduce phone calls and get paid faster.

Finally, Software That Gets It

When a wholesale customer orders 20 dozen dinner rolls for Friday, it appears in your Friday production report alongside retail orders. Your bakers see one unified bake list.

This means: No manual consolidation. No separate wholesale reports. No wondering if you have enough capacity. Everything is in one place.

Set minimum order quantities, quantity increments (case of 6), and wholesale-specific availability windows. Wholesale orders respect the same seasons, exceptions, and lead times as retail.
