How to add a distributor

You will need to request your credentials for each distributor that you want to work with inside Salesbuildr and add them under Admin, Manage, Distributors, tab Connections.

How to setup distributors rules

Admin, Manage, Distributors, tab Distributors. Here, you can configure which distributors Salesbuildr should prefer by adding and ordering your distributors. Salesbuildr will update the cost price for products based on the rules you set on this page. This will only apply to products that have a valid manufacturer part number set and no explicit cost price configured (read more here).

Navigate to Admin, Manage, Distributors and drag distributors to the preferred section in the desired order.

You can tell Salesbuildr to only consider a distributor when stock is incoming in the next X days or ignore a distributor when it hasn't been updated in the last Y days. Additionally you can tell Salesbuildr to select a different distributor when the price is more than X% lower than your preferred distributor.

Requesting distributor credentials

Most distributors will have apply a business approval process to determine if you can request pricing and availability files. After you have provided your credentials, you can search for products across your distributors in the Salesbuildr Marketplace. New distributors will be added over time based on request.
