Pre-order software for wholesalers

Wholesale margins live or die on what moves. Stock bought on optimism ties up cash, fills space and — with short-life lines — eventually gets written off. The information that would prevent it (what your customers actually want this week) usually arrives too late to act on.

Sell the delivery before you buy it

Publish a slot for an upcoming delivery day with an ordering deadline. Your trade customers order against it, and at the cut-off you have a firm order book — before you commit to the container, the pallet or the run.

• Case and pack pricing, with per-unit or per-case ordering as you sell it.
• Minimum order values per account, enforced at checkout.
• One picking list per slot, totalled across every customer.
• Product import from CSV or Excel — bring an existing price list straight in.
• API access on higher plans, so an existing system can push stock or pull orders.

Where the time goes back

Most independent wholesalers spend hours a week turning phone calls, emails and messages into a picking sheet. That transcription is where errors enter: a misheard quantity, a missed amendment, an order taken during a delivery and never written down. Structured ordering removes the retyping step entirely — what the customer entered is what appears on the pick list.

It sits alongside your existing systems

OrderSlots is an ordering layer, not an ERP. Your accounts package, your stock system and your delivery arrangements stay where they are; this replaces the messy front end where orders come in.
