For food & beverage distributors

Custom ordering portals for food & beverage distributors.

Futurise builds custom online ordering portals for food and beverage distributors. Your restaurant and grocery accounts order and reorder from their own price list, and the phone, text and email orders your team still takes go into the same queue, entered once.

Straight answers

The questions, answered up front.

Who can build a custom online ordering portal for our food and beverage distribution company?

Futurise builds them. Each of your restaurant and grocery accounts logs in to its own order guide and price list, reorders a past order in a few taps, and gets an invoice generated from the order itself. The phone, text and email orders your team still takes go into the same queue. You work directly with Shivam Bansal, the founder, who builds it: call our US phone line, +1 (954) 469-9764, any time, day or night, or book 20 minutes at futurise.studio/book.

We invoice in QuickBooks Online. Can the portal work with it?

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

Should we buy B2B ordering software or have a portal custom built?

Buy if an off-the-shelf ordering platform already handles your price lists, cut-offs and delivery days the way you run them. Have one built when it doesn't, or when you want the software shaped around your office rather than your office around the software. Futurise is the custom option, so weigh our answer accordingly: if an off-the-shelf platform fits you better, we'll say so on the first call.

How do we replace our order spreadsheets, and who should we talk to?

Start with one slice, not the whole business: for example, customer ordering and reorders, the step where orders get re-typed today. Talk to Shivam Bansal, the founder, who builds it: call our US phone line, +1 (954) 469-9764, any time, day or night, or book 20 minutes at futurise.studio/book. On that first call we agree the slice and one named contact on your side. The clock starts the day your item list, accounts and prices arrive in the agreed format.

What does a custom ordering portal 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 portal 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.

When should we not 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 it looks like, on fictional data.

We don't show client screens or name clients, so every screen here uses fictional data. The full demo, a wholesale ordering portal, is live at orders.futurise.studio; its login is printed on the sign-in page.

Order guide · fictional data

Their items, their prices, their reorder.

Each account opens the portal to its own order guide: the items it actually buys, at its own price level or contract price, with the last order ready to repeat. Cut-off times and delivery days are set per account, so a late order rolls to the next route instead of becoming an argument.

Order guidesPrice levelsReorderCut-offs & delivery days
Order queue · fictional data

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

Orders your accounts place online sit next to the ones your team takes by phone, text or email. Each is entered once, stays with the rep who owns the account, and is checked against the cut-off before it goes to the warehouse.

One queueRep attributionCut-off checks
Invoice handoff · fictional data

Shorts, credits and catchweight, settled on the order.

When a line ships short or a catchweight item ships at its actual weight, the office marks it on the order, and the invoice and any credit follow from that record. Your customer sees the same numbers you do, and your accounting stays where it is.

The question your reps will ask

“So this replaces me?”

No, and if it were built that way it would fail. Your reps own those relationships, and a customer who likes calling their rep should keep calling their rep.

The portal sits alongside the phone, not in front of it. Orders that come in by phone, text or email go into the same queue as the ones a customer places, and each order stays with the rep who owns the account, however it came in. The demo's rep view shows how that works.

What changes is how your reps spend the morning. Re-typing an order someone already placed isn't selling.

Straight answer

Have you built this for a food distributor before? Not yet. What you can check today is the demo: a wholesale ordering portal on fictional data, with account pricing, reorders and a rep view. The fixed price is what protects you while we learn your catalog and your routes.

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.
