Simplify your operation. Grow your business.

Your customers keep texting and calling like they always have, with no app and no account. Fresh Connects turns every message into an order from your own price list, even the ones at 11 pm, and holds it until you approve. Less time on the phone, fewer mistakes, and room for more customers.

$40 a month per location · first 30 days free · no card, no contract Texts 15¢ · calls 50¢ a minute · you pay for orders, not hours · $100 of credit to start

Example — items, prices and buyer are made up.

Sound familiar?

If this is your morning, here's what changes.

The phone rings all morning — while you're trying to pack.

Buyers text or call your Fresh Connects number, and the order builds itself from your price list.

Orders show up at 11 pm, by text.

They're waiting as clean orders when you open up — ready for you to approve.

Someone retypes every order into your system.

Nobody retypes. The order is already written, and a completed order can go to QuickBooks as an invoice.

The wrong item ends up on the truck.

The AI asks “Which kind?” instead of guessing, you approve every order, and the crew packs from a pick list.

You can't take more customers without more office help.

Your same team handles more orders, because the typing and the phone tag are gone.

Chasing customers who owe you.

Set a credit limit and your own terms for each customer. Auto-block stops an order over the limit.

How an order moves

Four steps · you stay in charge
  1. It comes in

    By text, phone call or your order link. The AI matches every line to your price list. If something is unclear it asks the buyer “Which kind?” instead of guessing.

  2. You approve

    An owner or manager taps Accept, edits it, or rejects it. Nothing moves before that.

  3. Your crew packs

    Staff tap Start Preparing, print a pick list with no prices on it, then Mark Ready — and you get a notice the moment it's packed.

  4. The buyer is told

    The buyer gets a text, e-mail or app alert when it's accepted, ready for pickup, and out for delivery. Completed orders can go to QuickBooks as invoices.

Nothing ships without you.

Worried software will send a wrong order to the warehouse? It can't. A person decides every time.

You approve every order

Only owners and managers can approve. Staff can pack and mark ready, but they can't send an order you haven't seen.

It asks instead of guessing

An unclear item gets a question back to the buyer. A line a phone order couldn't place is flagged on the order so you know where to look.

Credit limits hold the line

Set a limit for each customer and choose the terms yourself: Net 15, 30, 45 or 60 days, or due on delivery. An order over the limit is stopped, unless you switch auto-block to a warning.

Your customers change nothing.

They keep ordering the way they do today. You get every order in one place.

No account, no app

They text or call your number, or open your order link. Nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.

Your price list on their phone

Your order link shows your current prices and what's in stock, so they order from what you actually have.

Free for them

Ordering from you by text, call or link costs your customers nothing. Buyers who want to compare every wholesaler in town can open their own account.

Your prices, your rules

You choose who sees your prices.

Some wholesalers want every buyer in town to see their prices. Some only want their own customers to. Pick what fits you — and change it any time.

Your choice

Open to new buyers

Buyers in your area can find your catalog, see your prices and order. The fastest way to grow.

Your choice

Only your customers

Turn off new-customer networking and only buyers you already work with can find your catalog in the app.

Your choice

Prices for known customers only

Strangers who text or call learn what's in stock. They see your prices once you approve their order.

Always

Your costs stay yours

What you paid and your margin are never shown to buyers or to other wholesalers.

Don't retype your catalog.

Upload the price list you already send out — a PDF, an Excel sheet, a CSV, even a photo. The AI reads it, you check every row, and then it goes live.

Then keep prices current from your phone.

Will it pay for itself?

You pay for calls, not hours.

Someone at the phone is paid for the whole shift, busy or quiet. Fresh Connects charges only for the texts and minutes on your number, and those are your orders coming in. A four-minute phone order costs $2.

One person can answer one phone. Your number answers every call at once, at 5 am or on a Saturday, so nobody gets a busy signal and your people spend the morning selling instead of taking orders.

You start with $100 of text and call credit, so you can see the orders come in before you spend a dollar. Text and phone ordering switch on and off in Settings, and your order link keeps taking orders either way.

Fresh Connects costs

$40 a month

plus 15¢ a text and 50¢ a minute, only for what your number uses

To pay for itself, it needs to save each person about 2.4 minutes a workday.

If each person saves 30 minutes a day, that's 22 hours back a month, worth about $500.

Questions wholesalers ask

Why is it only $40 a month?

Because the AI does the order-taking, there is no setup fee and no sales rep to pay for. Many ordering systems for distributors are priced by quote. Fresh Connects is $40 a month with no contract, and you can cancel any time. We make our money from subscriptions and the texts and calls you use. We never sell your information or your customers' information.

Do my customers need an account?

No. They text your number, call it, or open your order link. No app, no account, and it costs them nothing. Buyers who want to see every wholesaler in their city can open their own account.

What does it cost?

$40 a month per location. The first 30 days are free, then you get a monthly statement in the app. Texts and calls to your number are 15¢ a text and 50¢ a minute, prepaid, with $100 of credit to start. You pay only for the texts and minutes on your number, so a quiet day costs almost nothing. No card needed.

How long until I can start?

Request access. We usually approve within a few hours. If we haven't met yet, we'll call you first. Then upload your price list and share your number.

Does Fresh Connects handle payments between me and my buyers?

No. Your buyers pay you directly — cash on delivery unless you've arranged terms with them. Fresh Connects doesn't collect payments between buyers and sellers. Fresh Connects never asks for or stores your card or bank details.

Can my warehouse keep using paper?

Yes. Print a pick list for any order — no prices on it — or tick several orders and print one sheet that adds them up. Your crew keeps the clipboard.

Can I turn off texts and calls?

Yes. Text and phone ordering each switch on and off in Settings, right away. Your order link and the app keep taking orders either way, so you choose how your customers reach you.

Which accounting software does it work with?

QuickBooks Online, and an export for QuickBooks Desktop.

Can other wholesalers see my prices?

It's up to you. Other wholesalers only buy from you at a wholesale price you set. You can keep your catalog to your own customers in the app, or open it to every buyer in your area. Your costs and margins are never shown.
