The Problem

A lot of merchants already have wholesale demand.

What they do not have is clean wholesale execution.

The pain usually shows up in familiar ways:

  • buyers need different prices, terms, and quantity rules;
  • internal teams still handle exceptions over email or phone;
  • catalogs drift and show the wrong prices to the wrong accounts;
  • sales reps, founders, and ops managers have no shared account memory;
  • reorders happen too late because nobody owns cadence, reminders, or inventory-linked follow-up.

Historically, that pain pushed merchants into fragmented tools, custom workarounds, or doing everything manually.

Now that native wholesale capabilities are becoming standard in mainstream commerce platforms, the new opportunity is not “build a B2B storefront from scratch.” It is to build the operating layer that turns wholesale from a feature into a repeatable growth system.
