HOW A GROCERY BUYS
They buy nearly the same thing every week. It shouldn't take an hour.
Restocking is repetitive and that's exactly why it hurts: the same customer, the same list, every seven days. If the previous order comes back pre-loaded and without whatever is out of stock, the phone call turns into two minutes.
One product, three ways to buy it, a single stock behind it. When a case sells, twelve bottles come off the same number.
The grocery buys nearly the same thing every week. They repeat the previous order, drop what's out of stock and in two minutes it's closed.
WHAT HAPPENS TODAY
Four problems of selling food wholesale, and how VentasxMayor solves them.
The corner shop and the distributor need different prices for the same product. Bottle, case and pallet on the same page Each pack has its own per-unit price, and the customer sees theirs according to their list. One catalog, not one per customer type.
The weekly order comes in over WhatsApp and gets copied by hand every Monday. Repeat the previous order The customer opens their last order, already loaded, drops what they don't need and confirms. Whatever is out of stock isn't even orderable.
What isn't there gets sold, and with perishables that's a delivery that never leaves. Real stock rules With no stock, the item can't be loaded. The customer sees it right then and swaps, instead of finding out once the truck has left.
The pre-seller visits, writes things down and dumps the whole route at the end of the day. Loads it at the customer's counter The order goes in from the phone, with the customer right there and stock in view. It reaches the warehouse before the rep gets back in the car.
THE DAY TO DAY
The route still goes out. What stops existing is the Monday spreadsheet.
Nobody stops visiting customers or answering the phone when it matters. What ends is the route notebook and the whole morning typing orders in before loading the truck.
✓The pre-seller loads it at the shop's door, with stock in view. ✓The regular customer repeats their order on a Sunday night. ✓The warehouse picks by pack and code, not from a dictated list.

Frequently asked questions about software for food and beverage distributors
What software does a food and beverage distributor use to sell wholesale?+
VentasxMayor is a B2B eCommerce platform built for distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers and importers. For food and beverage it solves what a regular store does not: each customer sees their price list, the same product sells by unit, case or pallet from one stock, the customer repeats their last order in two minutes and the sales rep enters the order from their phone. Orders land in the ERP through the integration.
Does it work for beverage distributors selling by pack and full case?+
Yes. Each product sells by unit, pack, case or bulk, with the per-unit price of each packaging on the same product page, and you can require a minimum per product, by amount or by full case. When a case is sold, the units it contains come off the stock.
How do sales reps and pre-sellers work?+
Each rep logs in with their own user and sees only their customer portfolio. They enter the order from their phone at the customer's counter, with stock in view, and the order reaches the warehouse at once. Commissions are calculated per rep automatically. See sales team.
Does it connect to the distributor's ERP?+
Yes. There are integrations with Dux, Contabilium, Bling, Dragonfish and other ERPs, plus an open API: orders land in the system without re-entry and stock and prices update from the ERP. See ERP integration.
What happens with out-of-stock products?+
Without stock, the item cannot be added to the order: the customer sees it at once and substitutes, instead of finding out when the truck has already left. Real stock rules, in the store and in the rep's app.
How much does it cost?+
A fixed monthly price, no sales commissions and no per-user or per-rep fees, with implementation included. Details on pricing and in how much a wholesale online store costs.
