The problem
Wholesale selling happens in front of the buyer, where a representative needs products, prices, customers and a fast order pad without depending on reception. The office then needs those visits to become clean, reviewable sales orders instead of handwritten notes or messages that must be entered again.
The complete workflow has to keep the field catalogue current, preserve unfinished work, show what has and has not reached the office, and give rejected orders a correction path without creating duplicates.
The solution
The ordering app puts the working catalogue and customer list on the representative's phone or tablet, guides the order in front of the buyer and carries it into Zoho Inventory as a draft for office review. Local history and status make the field visit and office fulfilment one visible workflow.
Products and customers are cached on the device and orders enter a local outbox. Stable references and matching totals prevent retries from becoming new orders; controlled catalogue refreshes respect API capacity; and permanent rejections can be corrected and resent.
The decisions behind it
- Fresh enough, within the API budget
- Product data does not need a full download every time a screen opens. Cached and incremental reads protect the external service's request allowance.
- Retry without a second order
- A lost response does not prove that an order failed. The integration checks the order reference and totals before creating another draft.
- Recoverable errors
- Network interruptions and rejected business data require different responses: retry the former, make the latter visible for correction.
- On-device product and customer catalogue
- Offline order queue
- Automatic sync to Zoho Inventory
