A wholesale portal should let a buying company share shopping lists across teammates, not only private drafts. Week one on Parcel Build is that first working version: company-visible lists under account pricing, with a clear path to cart. You own the code. Flat monthly. See custom software for wholesalers. If shared company shopping lists is the gap, start a free 30-day build.
Who should see a shared company shopping list in week one?
Week one can scope shared lists to signed-in users on the same buying company account. Teammates see the named list, add or edit lines you allow, and move to cart under that account's pricing. Personal favorites stay private unless the buyer chooses to share. Broader multi-entity visibility can wait.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version of that path. Flat monthly. You own the code.
Why spreadsheet "standard order" tabs drift when only one buyer keeps the master copy
One buyer owns a spreadsheet of the usual order. Other buyers email for the latest file. Someone orders from last month's tab. SKUs change and nobody updates the master. Inside sales fields the same "what do we usually buy?" questions because the list never lived in the portal.
A shared company list keeps one live source next to catalog and account price. Teammates stop guessing which file is current.
What month one should not try to be
Defer enterprise punchout. Defer full spend-approval engines as the primary build. Defer warehouse pick lists. Month one is company-visible named lists for known accounts, with a clear add-to-cart path.
FAQ
Is a shared shopping list the same as a personal favorites list?
No. Personal favorites are for one buyer. Shared company shopping lists are visible to teammates on the same account so collaborative buying has one list. Both can exist. Week one can ship shared lists when that is the named gap.
Does week one need buyer spend approvals before shared lists are useful?
No. Shared lists help teammates assemble the right lines. Approvals before submit can wait until that control is the harder gap. Lists still earn their keep when people need a common starting set.
