Question

Wholesale distribution software/online store

Jul 23, 2015 7:06PM PDT

I own/operate a small wholesale business. I have several suppliers and I supply numerous retail customers. Currently, my order processing, invoicing, and payment reconciliation is done manually for the most part. I am using excel spreadsheets and google docs, along with Quickbooks. It is a lot of work and takes a long time. I want to automate as much of it as I can.

My needs:
*Customers can login online to place secure orders easily
*The system will generate purchase orders to be sent to each of the different suppliers
*The system can batch purchase orders and send to each supplier on a weekly basis.
*The system will interface with Quickbooks and use the purchase orders to automate as much of the invoicing as possible.
*The system should be able to handle multiple suppliers/manufacturers and numerous customers.
*The system can generate reports for each purchase order to detail the total wholesale cost of the order, the invoice total, total wholesale cost per supplier, and my total profit.
*It would be a bonus if the system can export purchase orders as an excel spreadsheet when necessary.

I don’t know if or how this is all possible, so any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

Answer
Quickbooks is your cue.

Quickbooks has developers and more so you'll want to get back to Quickbooks and ask them if this is already done or if they have a developer in your area to create your web site and services.
