Wholesale
Earn from the records behind your orders.
Behind every order is a quote, a stock check, a substitution or a return. Those records show how real distributors keep customers supplied.
No files to upload. No commitment to sell.
A wholesaler’s day is a stream of small decisions. A trade customer asks for a price, the stock check shows a shortfall, a supplier pushes a delivery back, a box comes back faulty. Each time, someone in sales or the warehouse decides what to offer, what to swap and what to credit.
Those decisions end up in your records — the information your business keeps while doing its work. They show not just what was sold, but how your team kept customers supplied when things went wrong.
That is what AI companies find hard to get. Catalogues and price lists are everywhere. The reasoning behind a substitution, a discount or a refund is not.
Which trading records have value — and why
Quotes with an outcome
A quote becomes useful when you can see what happened to it. What the customer asked for, what you offered, any haggling and whether they ordered shows how deals are really agreed. A lost quote with a note on why can be as useful as a won one.
Shortages and substitutions
When an item runs out, your team chooses: offer an alternative, send part of the order or wait. Records of the shortage, what was offered and whether the customer accepted show real problem solving, which a stock count never can.
Purchase orders and supplier reliability
Purchase orders set next to what actually arrived, and when, show how you judge suppliers and when you switch. That helps AI learn how buyers balance price against reliability.
Returns and credits
A returns note with the reason, the check your team made and what the customer got in the end — a replacement, a credit or a polite refusal — follows a complaint from start to finish. It is the outcome that makes returns records worth something.
Records that are usually less useful
Catalogue copies, standard price lists, bare sales totals and stock levels with no notes usually add little. They show the numbers, not the decision. And not every record can be sold. Some contain prices you promised to keep private, and some are covered by supplier agreements.
Three examples from businesses like yours
The three examples below are illustrative. Each follows one order, quote or return from problem to outcome.
A popular item ran out
A customer ordered 200 units of a product that had run out.
Your sales team offered a similar product from another supplier at the same price. The customer agreed, and the order was sent the next morning.
The customer received a working replacement and reordered it the following month.
Why it’s useful
A record of those steps can help AI learn how real businesses handle shortages and keep customers happy.
We check what you own and are allowed to share. Private details and restricted information stay out.
A price question. A deal agreed.
A customer asked for a better price on 500 units.
Sales offered a discount for a larger order.
Customer ordered 800 units at the new price.
Why it’s useful
This connects a quote, a negotiation and the final order. It can help AI learn how real sales teams agree prices and what customers accept.

Faulty goods. A customer kept.
A customer returned a box of faulty switches.
Team checked the batch and replaced the whole order.
Customer reordered the next month.
Why it’s useful
This shows how a return was checked and resolved. It can help AI learn to investigate a complaint and choose a fair response.

What stays private in a wholesale business
Your customer list and the special prices you agreed are among the most sensitive things you own. Customer names and contact details are removed or replaced. Confidential prices are left out, or combined so they cannot be traced to one deal, because a competitor should never read your terms.
Taking the name off is not always enough. A customer who is the only one buying a rare product in large amounts, or one with an unusual ordering pattern, can still be recognised. Where that is a real risk, the record is changed further or left out entirely.
Some supplier agreements limit what you may share about their prices or products. Some customers ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement — a written promise to keep a client’s information secret, often called an NDA. Records covered by these, or that belong to someone else, stay out unless the other side agrees.
People named in emails, such as a customer’s buyer or a supplier’s sales rep, are left out too.
Our AI-assisted check flags possible restrictions, such as a confidential price. Appropriate people then review rights and privacy. It is not an automated legal approval, and you decide how prices are treated before anything is shared.
Your records. Your choice. You approve the package before it is shared.
How we protect your informationSell once, or earn every year
Two separate offers. You can choose one, both or neither.
Is this right for your business?
A good fit
Distributors with several years of quotes, orders, stock and returns, and at least some notes on why things were swapped, discounted or credited. A broad mix of customers and products helps.
Probably not a fit (yet)
If your records show only what was invoiced, with no reasons, or your main supplier agreements forbid sharing, there may be little to offer today. If most of your trade is with a handful of customers, keeping them unrecognisable may be hard, and some records would have to stay out.
What to have ready
A list of where quotes, orders, stock and returns are kept and how many years they cover. A note of any agreements about confidentiality, and a view on whether prices should be left out or combined. And one person from sales or the warehouse to help us.
Wholesale:
common questions.
No technical background needed.
Won’t this reveal our prices to competitors?
We agree what buyers may receive before anything is shared. Prices can be left out or combined so no single deal can be traced. You approve the records before they are shared.
Are our order records really worth anything?
Sometimes. The most useful records show decisions: why something was replaced, how a shortage was handled and what happened next. We will tell you honestly what we find, including when it is not worth preparing.
Do we need special software?
No. Ordinary order and accounting software, stock spreadsheets and email are all fine to start with.
Can we include records involving a supplier we no longer use?
Often, yes, if the records are yours and no agreement with that supplier limits sharing. Ending a relationship does not end a promise of confidentiality, so we check those terms first.
Will our sales team have to change how they quote?
Not to sell existing records. If you later choose Data Farming, we might suggest a short note on why a quote was won or lost, agreed with you first.
