Trade ordering
Retailer logins, rates, minimum quantities and ledgers.
Online stores and trade ordering portals for Ahmedabad textile wholesalers, snack and food makers, jewellers, manufacturers and consumer brands.
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Ahmedabad has always known how to trade. Its merchants supply cloth to shops across India, its snack makers send khakhra and namkeen to Gujarati households on every continent and its manufacturers sell to dealers in every state. Selling online is a natural extension of that instinct. It lets a wholesaler take orders from a retailer five states away without a visit, and a food maker reach the family in New Jersey that has been asking a cousin to bring a suitcase of snacks.
Quavento Technologies builds ecommerce websites for Ahmedabad businesses. We create B2B ordering portals for textile wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors, and consumer stores for food and snack brands, jewellers, apparel labels and other direct-to-consumer companies. We set up payments, domestic and international shipping, GST invoicing, stock management and tracking.
We work from Pune and collaborate remotely, travelling to Ahmedabad for planning and product photography when the project calls for it.

Domestic and international selling.

Platform, payment and shipping costs explained up front.
Sales and return on advertising measured.
For a wholesaler, because retailers increasingly want to see new stock and order without travelling. Competitors in Surat and elsewhere already send catalogues by phone, and a trader who does not will be forgotten between visits.
For a consumer brand, because the customers are spread across the country and the world. Gujarati families everywhere want the foods and clothes of home, and many others have acquired a taste for them.
In both cases, selling directly protects margin. Fewer intermediaries stand between the maker and the buyer, which is an argument any Ahmedabad business understands.
It is a private online shop for your trade customers. Each retailer or dealer logs in to see your products, the rates that apply to them, current schemes, their order history and their outstanding balance.
Minimum order quantities, set or bale sizes and credit limits are applied automatically, and orders pass into your billing system for dispatch.
Your salespeople can also place orders on a customer's behalf, so that the portal supports the way you already work instead of replacing it overnight.
A portal also records what was agreed. When a retailer disputes a rate or a quantity three weeks later, the order as he placed it, with date and time, is there to see. Traders tell us this alone saves a good deal of argument.
Fabric, sarees and dress material are sold in sets, bales and metres, with designs that change each season. Speed matters more than elaborate presentation.
We build catalogues that can be updated from a phone in minutes, organised by fabric, design and season, with quantity rules and quick add-to-order. Retailers are notified by WhatsApp when new designs are uploaded.
Fast-moving stock can be marked as limited, and sold-out designs disappear automatically, which prevents the familiar problem of taking orders for cloth that has already gone.
Brokers play a large part in the cloth trade. We give each broker a login through which he can place orders for his parties and see his commission, so that the portal works with the customs of the market instead of against them.
Makers of pumps, hardware, electricals, plastics and consumer goods supply dealers across the country. Orders arrive by telephone and message, and errors are common.
We build dealer portals with product-wise rates, schemes, credit limits and dispatch tracking, connected to your ERP or billing software.
Management sees orders by region and product as they come in, and dealers can check stock and their account without calling the office.
Khakhra, thepla, namkeen, sweets, pickles and masalas have loyal buyers everywhere. Customers want to know flavours, ingredients, weight and shelf life.
We build stores with clear product information, FSSAI details, combination packs and gift boxes. Subscriptions suit households that reorder every month.
For Jain and other dietary preferences, which matter to many customers, products are labelled clearly and can be filtered.
Freshness is a selling point. Stating the date of manufacture, and dispatching only recently made stock, gives customers confidence that what arrives will taste as it should, particularly those ordering from another country.
Large Gujarati communities live in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, East Africa, the Gulf and Australia. They buy snacks, festive clothing, jewellery and gifts from home.
We set up prices in their currencies, international payment methods and shipping with clear information on duties and timelines.
Before Navratri and Diwali, overseas order deadlines are set early and shown plainly, so that parcels arrive in time.
Rules for food imports differ by country, and some items cannot be sent at all. We set up the store so that each country sees only what can legally and safely be shipped there, which avoids parcels held or destroyed at customs.
Gold and diamond jewellery is bought on trust. Product pages show purity, weight, certification and making charges transparently, with prices linked to the day's rate where appropriate.
We add appointment and video consultation booking for significant purchases and present savings schemes clearly.
Families visiting from abroad for a wedding can shortlist pieces online before they arrive.
Chaniya cholis for Navratri, bandhani, wedding wear and everyday ethnic clothing are in demand across India.
We organise collections by occasion, use photographs and video that show work and colour accurately and provide size guides and custom stitching options.
Navratri collections are launched well before the festival, with delivery deadlines by region.
Chaniya cholis are often bought as a group, by friends who will dance together through the nine nights. A way to share a shortlist and order several outfits at once suits how the buying is actually done.
New consumer brands in food, wellness, apparel and home products are emerging in the city, often founded by people from business families who understand margins well.
We build conversion-focused stores with accurate purchase tracking and help plan the first campaigns.
We work through unit economics with founders: cost of goods, shipping, payment fees, returns and advertising, so that growth is profitable.
Shopify suits most consumer stores. WooCommerce offers flexibility. Custom or specialised B2B platforms suit trade portals with customer-specific rates and credit.
We recommend after reviewing your products, order volumes, existing software and staff.
We set out every running cost, including platform subscription, payment charges and apps, before you decide.
For consumers, we integrate UPI, cards, net banking and wallets, with cash on delivery under sensible rules. For overseas buyers, international cards.
For trade, bank transfer, payment links and credit with limits are supported, with reminders for dues.
GST invoices are generated automatically, with e-invoicing and e-way bills integrated where required.
For parcels, we integrate courier services with automated labels and tracking. For bulk trade orders, transport bookings with lorry receipt details are recorded and shared.
Delivery estimates and charges are shown before payment.
Food items are packed to prevent breakage, a particular concern for khakhra and other fragile snacks.
We connect the store or portal to your billing or ERP system, so that sales from every channel draw on the same stock.
For traders with several godowns, stock is tracked by location.
Reports on fast and slow movers help with purchasing before each season.
Yes. Many trade buyers prefer Hindi, and many local customers Gujarati.
We write product information, policies and messages naturally in each language.
Customers choose their language, and order messages follow that choice.
For trade portals, we begin by onboarding your existing customers, with help from your sales team, and then reach new retailers through search and targeted advertising in particular states.
For consumer stores, we use SEO, Google Shopping and campaigns on Meta and YouTube.
Gujarati communities in other cities and countries respond well to campaigns timed to festivals.
We keep it as simple as a messaging app and offer it alongside telephone orders at first.
A small incentive, such as early sight of new stock, encourages a first order.
Once a retailer has used it two or three times and found it reliable, the habit takes hold.
We watch the first weeks closely and telephone retailers who logged in but did not order, to learn what stopped them. Often it is something small, such as a missing size or an unclear rate, and easily put right.
Navratri and Diwali are the peaks, followed by the wedding season. Trade buying for these begins weeks earlier.
We prepare collections, schemes, gift packs and delivery plans in advance and test the system for heavier load.
Corporate gifting before Diwali is a significant opportunity for food and gift brands, captured through a bulk enquiry form.
Policies are written plainly and shown before purchase. For trade, credit notes are issued and reflected in the ledger.
Photographs at dispatch and accurate records reduce disagreement.
A clear process protects relationships on both sides.
Dashboards show sales by product, customer, region and channel, and advertising platforms receive accurate purchase data.
For consumer stores, we report return on advertising spend and repeat purchase.
For trade portals, reports show which retailers have stopped ordering and who is nearing a credit limit.
We set out each month what was spent on advertising, what it brought in sales and what remained after the cost of goods, shipping and payment charges. An owner can see at once whether the online channel is earning its keep.
Consider a family that has made khakhra and namkeen for thirty years, supplying shops in Gujarat and sending parcels to relatives abroad on request.
We would build a store with their full range, combination and gift packs, clear ingredient and dietary labelling, shipping across India and to selected countries and a bulk enquiry form for distributors.
Households everywhere could order directly, and the family would keep the margin that once went to intermediaries.
We collaborate by video and shared documents, with a named contact. Products can be couriered for photography.
We visit for planning and training when it helps adoption.
