For wholesale distributors

Wholesale customer portals, custom built.

Futurise builds custom wholesale customer portals and ordering software for distributors that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need a full ERP. Each account orders from its own price list, reorders past orders and looks up its invoices, and your team works every order from one queue.

US phone line · Any time, day or night — you'll talk to Shivam, who builds it.

See it first. Both demos run on fictional data: orders.futurise.studio is a wholesale ordering portal (its login is printed on the sign-in page), and factory.futurise.studio is a production tracker that opens straight in.

Straight answers

The questions, answered up front.

NetSuite feels too big and too expensive for us. What are the alternatives?

You can stay on spreadsheets and your accounting software a while longer, buy a smaller off-the-shelf inventory or ordering system, or have the part you need custom built. Futurise builds the custom option: a customer portal or ops app shaped around how you already sell, running alongside the accounting you keep. It won't out-feature an ERP, and it isn't trying to.

Can you build a wholesale customer portal with account-specific pricing, reordering and invoice lookup?

Yes. Each account logs in to its own price list (a price level, contract prices or one-off overrides), reorders from its past orders, and looks up each order by invoice number with its status and tracking. You can try each of these in the demo at orders.futurise.studio. It runs on fictional data, and the login is printed on its sign-in page.

Will it work with QuickBooks Online?

It can connect to QuickBooks Online through Intuit's public API; scoped in the first call. Either way, your accounting stays where it is. The portal doesn't replace it.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?

Every build is custom. You get a fixed price in writing after a 20-minute call, before any work starts. Most first builds go live in two to four weeks, and 30 days of care after launch are included. There's no price list: the fixed price covers exactly the scope you agree to. After the 30 days, ongoing care is optional, month to month, and only once your team uses the software daily. You don't need a retainer for the build to be worth it. To get your number, call our US phone line, +1 (954) 469-9764, any time, day or night, or book 20 minutes at futurise.studio/book.

What's included in a first build?

One slice of your flow, scoped and priced before we start: for example, the customer portal, or, if you move dated stock, a live lot and expiry view with a gate that won't let an order be committed without lot and expiry in view. Every first build includes one read-only path in from the system you already run and a screen-share walkthrough. You name one contact on your side, and the clock starts when your data arrives in the agreed format, not when you sign.

When shouldn't we hire Futurise?

When you need more than a first build should carry. A first build doesn't include ERP write-back, replatforming, multi-site, EDI, accounting, regulatory reporting, every SKU or unlimited integrations, and we make no compliance claims: we build organized, traceable, inspection-ready records, which isn't the same as making you compliant. And if NetSuite, Fishbowl or Cin7 already runs your business well, you may not need us.

What we build

What we build, on fictional data.

We don't show client screens or name clients, so every screen here uses fictional data. Both demos are live: a wholesale ordering portal and a production tracker. Click around before you pick up the phone.

Customer portal · fictional data

Their price, their reorders, their invoices.

Buyers log in, see their own price, reorder from past orders, and look up invoices and tracking without calling your office. Price levels and per-account overrides live in one place.

Customer portalAccount pricingReorderInvoice lookup
Account pricing · fictional data

Every account on its own price list.

Chains, stores and independents each get a price level, contract prices or one-off overrides, with an approval step wherever you want one and stock allocated before it is promised.

Price levelsContract pricingApprovals
Lot & expiry · fictional data

No order committed without lot and expiry in view.

For distributors of dated stock: every line shows the lots it can ship from and when they expire, picking runs first-expiry-first-out, and an order can't be confirmed until its lot is in view.

Lot & expiryFEFOCommit gate
Order queue · fictional data

Portal, phone, email and rep orders in one queue.

Orders placed online sit next to the ones your team takes by phone or email and the ones reps enter for their accounts. Each is entered once, stays with the rep who owns the account, and moves from confirmed to shipped to invoiced in one place.

One queueRep ordersOrder status

The question your reps will ask

“So I lose my accounts?”

No, and a portal built that way would fail. Your reps own those relationships, and a buyer who likes calling their rep should keep calling their rep.

The portal sits alongside your reps and your phone, not in front of them. Orders a rep takes go into the same queue as the ones customers place, and every order stays with the rep who owns the account, however it came in.

What changes is the morning. Re-keying an order a customer already placed isn't selling.

Straight answer

Can we see what you've built for other clients? Not their screens: we don't show client systems or name clients. What you can check today is the demo, and the fixed price is what protects you while we learn your catalog and your accounts.

How it works

Training is part of the build, not an extra.

Call

Call, or book 20 minutes

You talk to Shivam, who builds it, any time, day or night. We ask how orders reach you today and where they get re-typed. If software isn't the answer, we'll say so.

Scope

One slice, one named contact

We agree the one part of your flow costing you the most, and who on your side owns it.

Build

Built on your data

One read-only path in from what you already run. The clock starts when your data arrives in the agreed format, not at signature.

Launch

Trained in your office

A screen-share walkthrough, then we train your office ourselves. The people who use it learn it from the people who built it.
