What Your Wholesale Portal Actually Replaces -- And What It Won't Fix

Your buyer opens their login at 2 AM Istanbul time and filters 340 styles by heel height, leather type, and spring delivery windows. Your B2B wholesale portal is the authenticated platform where footwear manufacturers replace PDF catalogs and WhatsApp quote chains with structured line sheets -- filterable by season, MOQ-enforced, multi-currency. Buyers build orders in spreadsheet-style bulk sheets, customize private-label specs, and pay deposits without a single back-and-forth email. You get structured pre-order data before leather hits the cutting table. When buyers request quotes across three messaging apps and your team manually tracks verbal commitments in spreadsheets, orders slip through, pricing errors compound, and production starts on nothing but hope. The portal doesn't sell for you -- it stops your catalog from bleeding credibility every time a buyer sees last season's discontinued styles still listed.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Buyers request quotes over WhatsApp and email with no structured data
Risk: Orders get lost, pricing errors pile up, and your team burns 60% of its time on back-and-forth instead of actually selling.
PDF line sheets are outdated before the season even starts
Risk: Buyers see discontinued styles, place orders on unavailable SKUs, and start wondering whether your catalog is worth trusting.
No deposit or pre-order system means production starts on verbal commitments
Risk: When orders get canceled after leather is cut, you're left holding thousands in wasted material and labor -- with nothing to show for it.
Private-label requests get handled manually, no version control anywhere
Risk: Wrong logos on soles, incorrect colorways on uppers, expensive production reruns. All of it eats directly into your margins.
No buyer authentication means your full catalog is either completely public or hidden behind a login wall with no tiering
Risk: Competitors see your pricing, or legitimate buyers leave because they can't browse before requesting access.
Inventory and availability live in spreadsheets spread across factories
Risk: You oversell popular styles, undersell slow movers, and have zero real visibility into what's actually in production.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Digital Line Sheet Engine

Filterable, image-rich catalogs organized by season, style, material, and size range. Buyers browse 2,000+ SKUs with leather grain closeups, sole details, and EU/US sizing -- no PDFs, no downloading anything.

Pre-Order & Deposit Collection

Stripe-powered deposit workflows lock SKUs and trigger production signals. Deposit percentages are configurable per buyer tier, with automatic balance invoicing before shipment goes out.

Private Label Customization

Buyers upload logos, select colorways, and specify branding placement through a guided wizard. Every revision gets versioned so production teams always work from approved specs -- not the one buried in an email from three weeks ago.

Tiered Buyer Access

Public browsing for discovery, gated pricing for approved buyers, VIP access for volume accounts. Each tier sees different MOQs, pricing, and exclusive collections.

Real-Time Inventory Sync

Live factory inventory feeds show real availability per style, size, and colorway. Automatic status updates prevent overselling and give buyers the confidence to actually commit.

WhatsApp & CRM Integration

Structured quote requests flow into your CRM with full product context. WhatsApp Business API sends order confirmations and shipping updates -- your team stops copying and pasting things manually.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Publish seasonal collections with one click -- Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter catalogs managed separately, archived automatically when the buying window closes

Buyers filter 300+ styles by heel height, leather type, sole construction, and delivery window without waiting for your team to send another PDF

Display wholesale pricing in USD, EUR, TRY, or INR with automatic conversion and buyer-specific tier lists so everyone sees their negotiated rates instantly

Orders get built in bulk spreadsheet interfaces where buyers select sizes and quantities inline -- no navigating away, no cart abandonment, no friction

Enforce minimum order quantities per style and trigger volume discounts at threshold -- your pricing rules run automatically without a single sales call

High-resolution image zoom powered by Cloudinary lets buyers inspect leather grain, stitching details, and sole joins at screen-filling scale before they commit

Generate pro-forma invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin directly from confirmed orders with factory and buyer details pre-filled

Private-label customization requests get versioned and attached to orders -- logos, colorways, and branding specs locked in writing before production starts

Authenticate buyer access by tier -- show VIP buyers your full range while limiting new accounts to core collections until you approve them

Deposit collection happens at pre-order confirmation so production starts only when money clears -- no more cutting leather on verbal commitments that evaporate

Sync inventory visibility across factories so buyers see real stock levels and production timelines instead of guessing whether a style is actually available

Your team stops burning 60% of its time on WhatsApp quote chains and gets back to actually closing deals with buyers who are ready to order

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Catalog & Workflow Audit

Week 1

We map your current line sheet format, buyer communication flow, and order pipeline. We figure out which manual steps become automated platform features and define your buyer tier structure before anything gets built.

02

Platform Architecture & Design

Weeks 2–3

We design the catalog browsing experience, pre-order flow, and admin dashboard. You review interactive prototypes showing exactly how buyers will filter, select, and commit to orders -- no surprises later.

03

Build & Integrate

Weeks 4–7

Next.js frontend with Supabase backend. Stripe for deposits, Cloudinary for product images, WhatsApp Business API for notifications. Your existing inventory feed gets a structured API endpoint.

04

Data Migration & Testing

Week 8

We import your existing product catalog -- styles, specs, images, pricing tiers. Buyer acceptance testing runs with 3-5 real wholesale accounts to validate the ordering flow end-to-end, with actual people placing actual orders.

Launch & Optimize

Week 9+

Go live with your current season's collection. 30 days of post-launch support covers buyer onboarding issues, catalog adjustments, and performance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

A digital line sheet is a live, filterable product catalog where buyers search by style, material, size range, and availability in real time. Unlike PDFs, it updates the moment you add styles or adjust pricing. Buyers build orders directly from the catalog instead of emailing you a list of style numbers they copied from a static file.
Yes. The pre-order engine collects configurable deposits via Stripe — typically 30-50% of order value. Once a deposit clears, the SKU locks and your production team gets notified. Balance invoicing triggers automatically before shipment. Every transaction has a full audit history on both sides.
Buyers use a guided wizard to upload logos, select colorways, specify placement, and add notes. Each revision creates a versioned record so your production team always works from the latest approved spec — no more hunting through email threads for the right logo file or color code.
Yes. The tiered access system supports public browsing for discovery, standard wholesale pricing for approved buyers, and VIP pricing with exclusive collections for volume accounts. Each tier is configurable — you control MOQs, price lists, and which seasonal collections each buyer group can actually see.
A typical build runs 8-9 weeks from audit to launch. That covers catalog architecture, the pre-order engine, payment integration, product data migration, and buyer testing. Complex private-label workflows or multi-factory inventory sync can add 2-3 weeks. You get a fixed timeline before we touch anything.
Yes. We integrate the WhatsApp Business API so order confirmations, shipping updates, and quote responses send automatically with full product context. Your sales team stops copying style numbers into chat — the platform sends structured notifications triggered by order events in the portal.
