Congrats as well -- looks fantastic. A non-technical question: How did the idea for this come about? Are/were you in the wholesale business? Did you work for folks who were? Just curious how ideas become seeds become launches...

Good luck and have a blast with it.

The idea came about since I also own several manufacturing businesses. We couldn't find ANYTHING that addressed this market - all the solutions were either old school (desktop software), or very focused on the fashion market (nuOrder, Joor).

So being that I have a startup/tech background, we started to build our own solution. I made the decision early on to put in the extra effort to built it multi-tenant as a SaaS app so others could use it too.

So yes, it's built directly to scratch our own itch - and it's an itch I know others have as well from chatting with other business owners over the last few years. There was nothing out there for it, so we built it :)
