Supplier operations

Not just a landing page: the portal maps to real distributor work.

The public entry point now frames the app as a vertical template. Behind it, the buyer portal and admin modules cover the core B2B supplier path from catalog discovery to order management.

Restaurant buyers see only their contracted products and case prices.

Catalog + pricing

SKUs, pack sizes, allergens, certifications, MOQs, and substitution context stay visible while buyers build an order.

Sales teams can turn tastings and trade-show leads into follow-up.

Samples + quotes

Submitted POs can be reviewed in admin modules with customer, location, delivery date, payment terms, and line-level details.

This gives us a believable first version for the restaurant and foodservice conference story: a supplier portal that buyers understand immediately and operators can extend with integrations later.
