Fresh Produce Wholesale Software and Your Inventory Management System






Many produce distributors are still out there working and growing their business without being part of the computer age, using paper and the telephone…  However, not being computerized on the inventory management software side and also the online ordering software side is turning out to be a waste of time and resources for those same companies.  An inventory management system can efficiently keep track of all of your items and prices, and you can change them up at a moment’s notice!  Now tie that with online ordering software that is specifically designed for wholesale produce distributors, you have a distinct advantage over produce distributors without them!



There are many types and brands of inventory management software available, from Granite State Software to QuickBooks  Just about all of them work very similarly, and output an inventory file that can be used as an input to an online ordering software platform.  This file is usually comma or semi-colon delimited, and can update the online ordering software, such as Intalogix OneLink, with the distributor’s items and prices.  This is usually set up on a daily basis to update automatically with whatever changes the distributor has made over the last 24 hours, without any direct action taking place on the distributor’s end…
This is very useful since there are no extra steps to learn or master, and less for the distributor to have to manage.  Wholesale produce distributors have enough keeping them busy as it is, without having extra work placed on their shoulders!  A great online ordering software provider should cater to wholesale clients, first of all, and not to the retail crowd.  There are big differences between the two types, and it will make a difference with how you work with invoicing, customers, and price overrides. 
The right wholesale produce online ordering software will fit your business needs specifically, and not have a lot of bells and whistles that you will never need but still be required to pay for.  You should look for a company that specializes in this particular wholesale produce niche, such as Intalogix Inc.…  Intalogix is an industry leader, and its OneLink online ordering software is perfect for most small to mid-sized businesses out there, and also a great fit for larger companies!  Intalogix has been around for over 13 years and has hundreds of clients all around North America, ranging from very small to extremely large, such as “middle-man” companies that have contracts with recognizable chain restaurants to provide produce deliveries from their distributors.
