Your own B2B ordering app for wholesale distributors

The wholesale ordering app for your accounts — placed at 10:10 PM, keyed by nobody.

Your customers notice what they are out of late at night — your order desk hears about it the next morning from voicemail. With your own B2B ordering app the account orders for itself: its pricing, your stock, its delivery day. What reaches you is a finished order instead of a scribbled note.

At 6:05 AM the order is still sitting on voicemail. It reaches the system once somebody has keyed it in — and only if the phone doesn't ring in between.

The app does not replace your inventory system. It gives the customer an ordering channel with its own prices — and your order desk a finished order instead of a scribbled note.

Same warehouse, same route — only the customer places the order.

Scene: Redstone Beverage, warehouse in the morning6:05 AM

At six the pick list is ready. The only question is who wrote it during the night.

The customer placed the order itself — with its prices, its stock levels and its delivery day. That is exactly what the app is for.

A read: from the order desk

What a B2B app really changes in wholesale distribution.

An order day in distribution has two ends that do not line up. Your customers notice late in the evening what they are running out of: the owner counts the kegs after last call, the coffee bin at the café is empty at half past ten. Your order desk left hours ago and starts the next morning turning voicemail, faxes and photographed lists into orders. Your own app does not move the working hours — it only moves who does the typing.

What 25 minutes per order adds up to in a month

Let's use your own order of magnitude: 220 accounts, 640 orders a month — just under three per account. A phoned-in order costs the order desk 25 minutes on average: take the call, settle the callbacks about price and stock, key it in, confirm it. If 60% of that comes in finished through the app from now on, roughly 160 hours a month free up — that is a full position. Further down you can run the same math with your own numbers.

Those hours do not disappear from payroll, and we are not claiming they do. They move from the keyboard back to the phone: to the accounts nothing has come from in six weeks, to the promo nobody knows about yet, to the new line that wants explaining. The second effect is quieter and, over time, the bigger one: what the customer taps in itself arrives correctly. Mixed-up pack sizes, the wrong case count and the famous “but I said twenty” get rarer, because the order sits in black and white in the customer's own app.

The order gets placed when the room is empty. It gets typed when the order desk is full.

“Our customers have called in orders for twenty years”

That is true — and some of them will keep doing it. The app does not have to win everybody, only the ones who are already doing math on their phone anyway: the owner who locks up at 10:10 PM, the store manager who plans on Sunday, the chef who pushes ten cases of sparkling water between two services. For them a phone call the next morning is not relief, it is an appointment you forget.

In practice the rollout runs through your reps: on the next visit the app gets set up once on the customer's phone, the last orders are already in it, and the first reorder takes two taps. Anyone who would rather call keeps calling — you do not lose a customer because an app exists. You gain the orders that would otherwise have come two days later, because nobody had a minute to pick up the phone in between.

Where the app stops — and has to stop

An honest boundary belongs here: this app is not an ERP. It does not track lots, does not figure contribution margins and replaces neither your warehouse management nor your invoicing. It is an ordering channel — with the prices that apply to this one customer, the stock levels you release, and an order that lands in your system instead of on a scribbled note. Where a connection to your inventory system is possible, we build it; where it is not, the app exports cleanly what your order desk can import.

It takes about two weeks until the first version is in the stores — and at $4,000 that is not a trial version but a full app under your own name. After that it goes quiet for a while: a few regulars try the reorder and check whether their terms are really in there. Movement comes through two paths — the reps who bring the app along, and the first promo that goes to a single customer group. Even so, count in months rather than weeks until a solid share of your 220 accounts orders for itself at night.

How many orders does your desk take on the phone in a month — and how long does one of them really take? Tell us, and we will run the math with your numbers.

03No buzzwords — do the math

What does taking an order actually cost?

Orders per month640
Keying time per order25 minutes
Share that comes through the app60%

≈ 160 hours a month free up at the order desk — time for selling instead of typing.

Said honestly: those hours do not disappear from payroll. They move from the keyboard back to the phone — to the accounts where a call still gets you something. In the first year rarely everybody comes along: pull the slider down to 30% and it is still 80 hours.

After last call I open the last list, adjust the quantities, send. I used to call between two services the next day — and forget half of it.

That the app figures the keg tier for me saves the callback. I would have liked more precision on the stock numbers at first; since the last update it fits.

05Behind the studio

Who actually builds your app?

No off-the-shelf builder, no chain of anonymous contractors: an owner-run development studio that designs, codes and looks after apps for wholesale distributors itself.

Everything under one roofConcept, design, code, store submission and day-to-day operation — nothing is handed to subcontractors or shipped offshore. If it says Have a nice day, Have a nice day did the work.
You talk to the developerAt the other end sits the person who actually writes your app. No ticket system, no call center — in German, English or Russian.
More than 20 years of experienceOver 20 years of web development and 8 years of apps for iOS and Android — the ones in the stores above are the latest result of that work.
A fixed price before we startWhat the project costs is agreed in writing before the first line of code exists. No surprises from a timesheet.
Speed from modern toolingWe work with current technology and AI assistance. That is why we measure projects in weeks rather than quarters and stay below what agencies charge — every single line still gets reviewed by us.

06The road to your app

From an idea to your app in the stores.

1

Tell us about your distribution business

A short conversation: your catalog, your customer groups, how the pricing is built and how ordering works today. That is all we need from you.

2

You get a proposal and a fixed price

Concrete and readable: what the app does, how it looks, what it costs — in writing.

3

We build, you watch

You see a preview on your own phone early — with real items and a real price list, so you can judge what you are looking at.

4

We handle publishing on the App Store and Google Play — under your name. Your reps set it up at the customer on the next visit.

5

We stay on it

Updates, new building blocks, help in daily use — and the connection to your inventory system whenever it comes up.

07Set packages, set prices

What does it all cost?

There is no hourly billing and nothing added on afterwards: you choose a package, you get a fixed price for it, and you know in advance what is included. Even Start is a complete app — the larger packages add features and deeper technology, not better quality.

Included everywhere: App Store, Google Play and the browser — along with hosting, updates and support. The only difference is the feature set.

from $199 / month

  • We build it, run it and maintain it; you pay monthly
  • Updates, new features and support are part of it
  • The source code stays with us at first and becomes yours once it is paid off in full

Depending on the feature set, projects land between $4,000 and roughly $30,000 — how far your app goes is your call. We name the fixed price after a short conversation, free and without obligation.

The three packages are typical sizes; anything in between is possible too. The math: base package $4,000, each additional module about +$900, each connection to an existing system about +$2,500. The shows what every single feature costs.

Where do the speed and the price come from? We work with current tooling, AI included — the time we save goes back into the price, the care stays handmade.
