## Distribution Margins Are Compressing. Manual Ordering Is Not Helping.

### Order entry tax on every transaction

Retailer emails an order. Your team types it into your system. Errors. Missed line items. Wrong pricing. On thin distributor margins, every error compounds.

### Amazon Business is squeezing you

Customers can buy direct from manufacturers on Amazon Business. Your differentiation has to be service, speed, and a buying experience that beats a generic marketplace.

### 12 supplier portals, 12 logins

Every manufacturer has their own portal. Your buyers context-switch between systems all day. There is no unified buying experience for the distributor itself.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### I distribute for multiple manufacturers. Can I sell across all their products on one storefront?

Yes. You aggregate products from all your suppliers into your own catalog, set your own pricing per customer, and your customers see one unified ordering experience. Your suppliers do not need to use BusinessCart for this to work. You upload products like any catalog.

### What if my suppliers also use BusinessCart? Can I order from them through the same platform?

Yes. Multi-supplier customer accounts mean you log in once and switch between your supplier portals. Each supplier sets your terms, you self-serve. No more managing 12 supplier portals with 12 logins.

### How does this handle drop-shipping?

Today: orders go to you, you forward to manufacturer. Native drop-ship coordination (orders routed directly from your portal to manufacturer fulfillment) ships Q3 2026. The REST API is available today if you want to build custom routing now.

### How is this different from selling on Amazon Business?

Amazon Business takes commissions, owns the customer relationship, and pressures your margins. BusinessCart is your private portal: your customers, your pricing, your data, $0/month. You can sell on both. Many distributors use Amazon Business for discovery and BusinessCart for repeat-customer self-serve.

### Can my retailers self-serve, or does it require a sales rep?

Retailers self-serve through their private portal with their negotiated pricing, payment terms, and credit limits all enforced automatically. Reps stop being order-takers and become relationship managers, focused on growth, not data entry.

### Can I integrate with my warehouse management system?

Yes, two paths. (1) REST API: every operation has an endpoint, full read/write. (2) AI Add-on: connect any WMS without code. Native NetSuite/SAP/QuickBooks/major-WMS connectors ship Q3 2026.
