Upload their spreadsheets yourself. Map the columns once, browse in a clean interface, select what you want, export your order or push it straight to your e-commerce.
Crateful started when we were setting up our own independent record store. Getting wholesale accounts was exciting-until the spreadsheets started arriving.
Every distributor had a different format. Different columns. Different quirks. We spent more time wrangling Excel than actually choosing records for the shop.
So we built the tool we wished existed.
We understand the frustration because we lived it. Every feature in Crateful solves a problem we actually had.
You shouldn't need enterprise software (or obscene budgets) to manage wholesale orders properly.
Every week, another email lands with a spreadsheet attached. Different columns, different formatting, different headaches.
You spend 30 minutes reformatting before you can even look at what's available. Then you highlight your selections, copy them into an email, and hope you didn't miss anything.
By the end of the week, you've spent more time wrangling spreadsheets than actually curating your shop.
