Buyer app

Let your customers place their own orders

Most distributors take orders on WhatsApp, then retype them. The buyer app gives each customer your catalogue at their own prices, on their phone. What they order arrives on your desk as a draft order — priced, credit-checked and ready to confirm.

Their prices, not a public price list

A buyer signs in and sees exactly what their party record entitles them to — their price list, their schemes, their minimum order quantities. Nobody sees another customer’s rates. There is no self-serve signup: a customer only gets in when you invite them.

  • Invitation-only — you decide who sees your catalogue
  • Prices resolved per customer by the same engine your desk uses
  • One login can hold several suppliers who use crateline

Reorder is one tap

A kirana or a supermarket buyer orders substantially the same thing every week. Their order history is right there, and reorder loads the whole basket back in ready to adjust.

  • Order history with buyer-friendly status
  • Reorder pulls a past order into the cart
  • Case-pack minimums enforced before they can order

They can see what they owe

The account tab shows their outstanding, what is overdue and which invoices are open — the same live figures your collections screen reads. Chasing a payment stops being a phone call about whether the number is right.

  • Outstanding and overdue, live
  • Open invoices with days overdue
  • The same projection your team sees, so no arguments

It lands as a real order

A buyer-app order is an ordinary sales order in DRAFT. Your desk confirms it, which is where credit, price floors and stock allocation are enforced. The customer never bypasses your controls — they just save you the typing.

  • Arrives priced by your rules, not theirs
  • Your team confirms — credit and stock enforce there
  • Nothing about your process changes downstream

Not built yet

Push notifications and a white-labelled build under your own brand. Both are planned; today customers open the app themselves and Growth-plan branding is the crateline app with your logo.
