Wholesail builds custom B2B ordering portals for organic and natural food distributors. Natural grocers, food co-ops, and health food retailers order online — with certifications attached at the product level, per-account pricing, and standing order automation. Live in under 2 weeks.
Natural food buyers request certification documentation 3× more often than conventional food buyers. Distributors who surface cert data at the product level see 28% fewer pre-order inquiries.
Buyers email before every order asking for the USDA Organic cert, the Non-GMO verification, or the Fair Trade documentation for specific SKUs.
Your 600-SKU natural catalog turns over constantly — seasonal items, limited availability, certified products that sell out before restocking.
Co-ops and buying clubs need member-allocated quantities and split invoices — and every one of them has a different setup.
Your natural food buyers expect to know the farm, the region, and the story behind every SKU. That's four calls a week you didn't budget for.
Certifications are attached at the product level in your portal. Buyers see them before they order. No request, no email, no delay.
Catalog availability updates in real time. Out-of-stock items show notify-me options. Seasonal windows are visible to buyers before they place. No surprises at fulfillment.
Per-account purchase limits and custom invoicing configurations are set once per account. The portal enforces them automatically on every order.
Origin, farm partnership, and sourcing story are part of each product listing. Buyers read before they order. Your reps spend time on relationships, not product lookups.

We were emailing cert docs constantly. It felt like a full-time job. Now everything is in the portal at the product level — buyers check before they order, and we've cut cert-related emails by 80%. That alone was worth it.
