Manufacturers and distributors often handle dealer orders through phone calls, WhatsApp messages and Excel sheets. Dealers call to ask about stock, prices, outstanding balances and dispatch status. Sales teams spend hours on information requests instead of selling.
A dealer or customer portal gives partners a secure login to find information and place orders themselves.
