Solution: Dealer ordering and stock

Manufacturers with dealers

Stock and dealer orders sit in spreadsheets that never agree, and stock runs out mid-order.

Is this also your problem?

“Stock is in one spreadsheet and dealer orders in another, and they never agree. Dealers phone to ask what we have. I find out we’re out of something halfway through packing an order.”

How it works

  1. Your products go into one list, each with the quantity on hand and a reorder level.
  2. Dealers sign in to an ordering page that shows what’s available right now.
  3. Each order takes its items off the stock list and shows the dealer its status.
  4. When a product reaches its reorder level, whoever buys materials gets an alert.

The dealer's ordering app on a phone: open orders and what ships today, each order with its items and status, and a note that an order has shipped.

What changes

  • Stock and orders always agree, because they’re the same data.
  • Dealers check availability and order status themselves.
  • Low stock is news when it happens, not when an order is half packed.

What it runs on

Airtable holds products, stock and orders. Softr gives dealers their sign-in and ordering page. Make sends the alerts. We use Claude to merge your old spreadsheets into one product list and flag duplicates for you to sort out.
