Order entry for distributors

Heavy lifting,
handled.

Your customers order by phone, text, email and the back of an envelope. Porter turns every one into a clean order, matched to your catalog and on its way to your office, while you keep selling.

How it works
01

However it arrives.

A voicemail on the way to a site visit. A text with a photo of the stockroom shelf. An email with a PO attached. Hand it to Porter the way it came.

02

Sorted against your catalog.

Porter finds the customer and the ship-to, matches every line to your item numbers, and marks anything it isn't sure of. Fix it once and it remembers.

03

One tap, and it's sent.

The order leaves from your own email with a PDF your office can key from. When the confirmation comes back, Porter checks it against what you sent.

Industries

Made for people who sell on the move.

If your reps take orders between stops and your office keys them in, Porter already speaks your language.
