"5 PM the day before"
A cutoff is stored as how many days before, plus a time — never as a fixed moment. That way the same rule applies to every date on the schedule, including dates the overnight job adds on its own.
How it works
From forty messages to one number
There are only two things to learn. A supplier publishes what they sell and when they deliver. A shopkeeper orders against a published day, before it closes. Everything else the app does by itself.
For suppliers
The wholesaler who buys at the mandi and delivers to shops
- 1 · Build your Active Items list Every item you can supply, with a photo, and the unit you actually sell it in. Free text where the packaging needs explaining — "Per Bori (50KG approx)", "Box of 10 kg". Shopkeepers order against this list, so it's worth getting the wording right once. There is no price field, by design.
- 2 · Publish your Delivery Schedule Up to five dates open at once. Each one carries its own order cutoff — "5 PM the day before", "on the delivery day", up to two days ahead. Set one deadline for the whole schedule, or a different one per date. Turn on auto-add and each midnight the date that has passed comes off and a new one goes on, inheriting the same rule.
- 3 · Connect your shopkeepers Either side can open a request by phone number. Pending requests land on your dashboard with a count; accept, and that shop can see your catalogue and order against your dates. Not registered yet? Send them an invite from the same screen.
- 4 · Watch Future Orders fill up Each upcoming day shows one line per item — "Onions (Per Bori) : 300 Bori" — plus a coverage bar: how many of your connected shops have ordered, and which haven't. Nudge the ones who haven't, one tap each, up to once every 30 minutes.
- 5 · Send to Wholesale The whole consolidated day, shared out of the app as plain text — into WhatsApp, to your own wholesaler, or to yourself. That's the list you carry into the market at 4 AM.
- 6 · Run the round On the day, the orders move to My Active Orders. Mark the day out for delivery (up to a day early, if you loaded tonight), then mark each shop delivered as the van finishes. Search by shopkeeper when the round is long.
For shopkeepers
The retailer ordering stock for the counter
- 1 · Add a supplier by phone number Type the mobile number you already have saved for them. The app shows who it belongs to — their business name, category and service area — and you send a connection request. They accept, and you're trading.
- 2 · Place an order Pick a connected supplier, then one of the delivery dates they've published. Closed dates are shown greyed out with the reason, so you're never guessing whether you're too late.
- 3 · Set your quantities Their whole catalogue, with photos, unit wording, and plus/minus on each row. Where a price would be, it reads "Negotiable Price" — that conversation stays between you and them, as it always has.
- 4 · Review, add a note, place it A last look at the lines and the delivery date, plus a free-text note for anything that isn't a quantity — "ring the back gate", "split into two loads". The supplier sees it on the order.
- 5 · Change your mind until the cutoff A live countdown shows exactly how long the date is still accepting changes. Until then, reopen the order and adjust quantities or the note. After it closes — or once the supplier has picked it up — it's locked, because they've already planned the morning's buying around it.
- 6 · Track it in Placed, then In Transit when the supplier sends the day out, then Delivered. Your order history keeps every round, grouped by the delivery day it was for.
The part that does the work
What "consolidated" actually means
Every line of every order for one delivery day, folded into one row per item — keyed on the item's name and its unit.
4 orders came in
- Ramesh Kirana Onions · 80 Bori
- Sharma Store Onions · 60 Bori
- Sharma Store Tomatoes · 12 Crates
- Anand Vegetables Onions · 40 Kg
- Gupta Bandhu Tomatoes · 8 Crates
3 lines to buy
- Onions (Per Bori) 140 Bori
- Onions (Per Kg) 40 Kg
- Tomatoes (Per Crate) 20 Crates
Notice the two onion rows stayed apart. 140 Bori and 40 Kg are different things to the person buying them — adding them would produce a number nobody could act on.
Timing
When a date closes, and why
As early as you need
Close orders on the delivery morning, the day before, or two days before. Two is the limit — a supplier buying the morning before needs the orders in hand by then, and anything earlier stops being a cutoff and becomes a different date.
Two ways an order locks
A shopkeeper can edit while the date is still open and the supplier hasn't picked the order up. Either one going means the quantities are now what the supplier is planning around, so they stop moving.
Getting started
Signing up
Shopkeepers — straight in
Enter your name, shop name, business category and mobile number. An OTP arrives by SMS, and the app reads it for you. That's the account. Or sign up with Google and fill the same form with your details already in it.
No activation code needed.
Suppliers — one code first
Same form, plus an 8-character activation code. Suppliers publish catalogues that other businesses order against, so that side stays accountable to a real person we've spoken to. Call or message us and we'll issue one.
One number, one role, forever. Your mobile number is your identity here. It can't be
moved to a different account or switched from shopkeeper to supplier later — so pick the
side you actually trade on before you register.
