Independent distributors often need a signed-in portal for known trade accounts with their prices and routine orders, not a public cart and marketing storefront. Week one on Parcel Build is a first working version of that closed path. Flat $5,000/mo. You own the code. See custom software for wholesalers. Start a free 30-day build if that gap is what you want first.
When a public storefront adds risk without fixing phone and email orders
A public storefront can leak trade prices and invite the wrong buyers. It also does not stop phone and email orders from known accounts that still need a simple signed-in path. For many independent distributors, the first job is a closed portal for accounts you already trust, not a full marketing catalog.
This is not the same as renting another wholesale SaaS storefront, and it is not a clone of a general portal service page.
What week one can cover
Week one can cover login for known accounts, account prices, a simple request or order path, and a human exception route when a line needs judgment. That is enough to prove the closed path without standing up public merchandising.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version. Flat $5,000/mo. You own the code.
What stays out of month one
Defer SEO storefront merchandising, DTC checkout themes, and marketplace connectors. Month one is a closed ordering path for known trade accounts.
FAQ
Can we keep our brochure website and still ship a closed portal first?
Yes. Keep the public brochure site if it still earns its place. Week one can ship a signed-in portal beside it for known accounts.
Is a closed portal the same as renting another wholesale SaaS storefront?
No. On Parcel Build you own the code. Flat $5,000/mo. The point is a first working version of your closed path, not another rented storefront you cannot take with you.
