Orders flow straight into your system
How an order flows
A buyer browses the live catalog, adds items at their own pricing and submits. The order lands in your system the moment they hit order, with nothing for your team to re-key.
Search by product, description or UPC. Every product shows the real on-hand quantity from your database.
Each customer sees their own negotiated pricing, so they always order against accurate numbers.
The order goes straight into Fishbowl, Katana or Cin7, and its status syncs back to the portal.
Capabilities
Everything your buyers and reps need to order the right thing, every time.
A day of selling
Every order your customers and reps place today still gets done. Vortex removes the calls, the paper and the re-keying in between.
A customer needs to reorder at 9pm.
They call or email. Someone re-keys the order the next morning and hopes the quantities are right.
They log in, see live stock and their pricing, and submit. It lands in your system instantly.
A rep is taking orders at a booth.
Paper order pads get typed up later. It’s slow, and mistakes creep in.
Pull up the customer’s catalog and pricing, add items and submit on the spot from any device.
Month-end storage and handling billing is due.
Storage, handling and fulfillment charges get tallied by hand across every client.
Four built-in, customizable billing types bill every client automatically.
The complete toolkit
Vortex is a true B2B shopping experience, not a stripped-down B2C tool. Here’s the full list, grouped the way your team works.
For 3PL providers
The same ordering portal, built for third-party logistics. Give every client a branded storefront where their own customers order, and let Vortex handle the monthly billing.
“The new platform is great by the way. It has exceeded all expectations and we are very thankful you guys created this product.”
