Distributor Purchasing Support
Distributor Ordering Overview
The Uncorkd distributor purchasing system creates a simpler and faster way to place orders with your distributors, as well as tracking order and invoice history. Order reports provide in-depth financial insights to help evaluate the health of your bar program and implement strategies that grow profits.
The key components of distributor purchasing are:
- The ability to place all orders with all distributors at one time through email
- Build orders right from your inventory counts
- Save and organize past orders to make order history accessible
- Submit, save, and organize a digital copy of invoices
- Deep financial analytics on ordering habits and dollar spend
- Confirm products are received upon delivery
The distributor purchasing functionality is web-based and can be accessed by logging into your Uncorkd account in any web browser and from any mobile device. Using a mobile phone or iPad is faster and more portable than lugging around a laptop, or writing on paper and retyping later.
