A wholesale portal should let account buyers download a current catalog PDF for the products and prices they can buy.

If customer catalog PDF download in a wholesale portal is the gap, start a free 30-day build.
What belongs in a week-one customer catalog PDF download?
Week one can cover a signed-in buyer downloading a current catalog PDF scoped to the products and prices their account can see. Spreadsheet price-list export alone is not the same document buyers share offline. A catalog PDF is. Print-shop design studios, full PIM brochure pipelines, and marketplace syndication feeds can wait until that path earns its keep.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version of that path. Flat monthly. You own the code.
Why static emailed PDF catalogs go stale while the portal already holds the live account assortment
Someone emails a static catalog PDF. Prices change. Assortment changes. The PDF still circulates. Buyers order from stale pages. Sales re-sends a new file and the old one stays in inboxes.
Self-serve catalog PDF from the portal uses the live account assortment the buyer already shops. The download matches what they can buy today instead of last quarter's attachment.
What stays out of month one
Defer print-shop design studios as the primary path. Defer full PIM brochure pipelines as the primary path. Defer marketplace syndication feeds. Month one is a self-serve catalog PDF for known accounts, scoped to products and prices they can buy.
FAQ
Is a customer catalog PDF the same as a price list spreadsheet export?
No. A price list spreadsheet export is a tabular file for buyers who work in sheets. A customer catalog PDF is a downloadable catalog document scoped to the account assortment and prices. They can sit together later. Week one can prove catalog PDF download without cloning spreadsheet export as the primary path.
Does week one need photo-heavy print layouts before a SKU and price catalog PDF is useful?
No. Week one can deliver a current SKU and price catalog PDF for the signed-in account. Photo-heavy print layouts can wait until that self-serve download earns its keep.
