Today, the world of wholesale has been turned upside down by digital technology. As a result of the economic and health crises, which limit travel, retailers have changed their habits. They are moving away from physical purchases, in showrooms or shops, to online purchases. Wholesalers are therefore forced to rethink their sales strategy and turn to the Internet to remain competitive and visible.
But how to sell wholesale on the Internet ?
Creating an e-commerce site, animating social networks, registering in directories… Many solutions exist. Most wholesalers tend to favour WhatsApp.The application allows them to answer retailers’ questions quickly and to share their product catalogue easily. But this tool has its limits. Wholesalers who use WhatsApp often face management and productivity problems. Difficulty in managing sales, lack of organisation… Every day, unforeseen events cause them to lose time and money, precious hours that could be spent on
developing their business.
As a result, wholesalers who have not changed their business model are gradually disappearing from the fashion market. The sector is being taken over by retail giants like Shein. The basis for this is fast production, constantly changing clothes at low prices, and cascading promotions.
The phenomenon of fast fashion threatens to eliminate the wholesaler as a key intermediary in the distribution chain.
In order to evolve in this digital world and rise among the big boys, you must not only be present on the Internet, but above all, obtain maximum visibility. The challenge: to be able to quickly supply retailers who are also subject to the economic model of the giants.

In order to run his business, the wholesaler needs to hire staff.
But, as you know, it is difficult to find talent capable of counting and retaining all the references,
managing a whole warehouse, and ensuring contact between the showroom and the retailers in a reactive way.
Lack of qualified personnel wastes time, increases your company’s operating costs and hinders the development of your business. Confusion, miscalculations and management errors multiply and lead to a significant loss of money.
The solution? Simplify your employees’ tasks by turning to digital tools now!
With the right solutions, you can afford to hire a truly skilled worker. With the help of management and analysis tools, this person will be able to carry out the work of several employees on his own, without digital tools. All you have to do is get equiped!
MC APP- MicroStore’s in-store sales functionality is a must-have to make it easy for your to take orders and close a sale anytime, anywhere. Using it is very easy. The salesperson enters the reference of one or more products and selects the quantities desired by the retailer. He then selects the retailer in the application (or registers him in an instant if he is a new customer) to validate his order and payment. Once this is complete, the salesperson can print the picking slip directly from their phone at the warehouse. And notify the merchandise management staff even before the order is paid for.
He can also print out his order forms, delivery notes and invoices in the showroom.
