Wholesale & distribution

A wholesale system your customers and warehouse can share

LinkIT builds wholesale systems a distributor can run every day — customer ordering, inventory, and pricing that live in one place instead of email, spreadsheets, and a counter notebook.

The scope

Built around
your operation.

  • B2B ordering with account prices and history
  • Shared inventory across order channels
  • Customer-specific pricing and accounts
  • Counter, warehouse, and office on the same record

What we do

Ordering, inventory and customer accounts

LinkIT builds wholesale systems that connect customer ordering, account pricing, inventory and the warehouse or counter. A customer order and a counter sale update the same operational record, while existing financial systems can stay in place.

    Connect the portal, counter and warehouse to shared stock.

    Make the handoff clear

    Carry the order into picking and the customer’s record.

Wholesale ordering, inventory, pricing, and customer accounts need to stay consistent across the office, warehouse, counter, and customer portal.

LinkIT builds systems that connect those records and the work performed against them.

The problem we take on

A distributor’s order passes through stock checks, picking, invoicing, and account updates. When each step uses a separate record, staff must re-enter or reconcile the transaction.

We review customer-specific pricing, partial fills, returns, and stock shared across sales channels. Those requirements determine whether to configure existing software, add an integration, or build a replacement.

What we build

The scope follows the ordering and fulfillment workflow:

  • A B2B ordering portal with customer prices, order history, and reorder tools.
  • Inventory that updates when work happens, not overnight, and not in a third spreadsheet.
  • Accounts and pricing the office can maintain without asking an engineer to edit a row.
  • Connections to the counter and the warehouse so a sale in one place is a sale everywhere.

Read the wholesale distribution case study for a platform we built that is in daily use.

Who this is for

Independent and mid-size wholesalers and distributors whose current tools do not support their ordering, fulfillment, or account workflows.

It is a poor fit if you want a configured commercial ERP with a long partner rollout, or if the only ask is a marketing site with an "order now" button.

LinkIT works from Chicago with distributors across Chicagoland and the Midwest.

How we work

We scope a first workflow, such as reordering with stock visibility or a portal using account-specific prices, and validate it against your SKUs and customer records. We review working software as it is built and agree launch criteria with the people operating it. Ongoing maintenance can be included.

For the shared back-office record, see ERP systems. If the gap is the register, see POS systems.

You can see this running at Gokul Wholesale and ANG Wholesale.

Before we build

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A little more about the work, the scope, and what to expect.

Do you replace our ERP, or sit next to it?

We can integrate with an existing ledger, RMS, or accounting package that remains the financial system of record. Replacement is considered when the existing system cannot support the required workflow or integrations.

What does a wholesale build include?

Customer ordering, inventory, account pricing, and the handoff to the warehouse or counter. The proposal identifies which workflows and integrations are included.

Who is this for?

Wholesale and distribution operators who need customer ordering, warehouse, counter, and office records connected. LinkIT is based in Chicago and works with teams across Chicagoland and the Midwest.

Can we see something you've shipped?

Yes. The wholesale distribution case study describes a platform in daily use. It covers the workflow and implementation; the client is unnamed.
