Move repeat welding orders
into a private portal.
Shops that buy the same wire every month should not need a phone call to restate diameter, spool count, and job PO. Give them a structured path that your team can review before fulfillment.
Example workflowExampleRepeat orders are the best first use case
Welding distributors often know which accounts reorder the same consumables on a fixed cadence. Those accounts are ideal pilot buyers: the products are familiar, the price is negotiated, and the main variable is quantity and PO reference. Success here builds confidence before you invite complex job-shop assortments.
Order history is a reference, not a bypass
Buyers can start from a previous purchase to prepare the next one. They should still confirm quantities and requirements. Your team retains review and confirmation responsibilities — SupplyDesk does not automate fulfillment or payment.
Measure adoption after one purchasing cycle
Track whether invited shops complete a second order through the portal. If they revert to phone orders, ask whether catalog clarity, login access, or missing SKUs blocked them. Fix the catalog before expanding invitations.
