Summary: Many manufacturers and brands still take dealer orders over phone and WhatsApp. A B2B ordering portal reduces errors, speeds up fulfilment and gives dealers 24/7 access.
In B2B distribution, orders often arrive as WhatsApp messages, phone calls or photos of handwritten lists. Sales coordinators re-enter them into Tally or an ERP, leading to delays and mistakes.
