Frequently Asked Questions
Who is ZiiZii Vendor Ordering for — the distributor or the manufacturer?
Both parties benefit, but the app is primarily used by manufacturer sales reps (vendor reps) who visit retail locations and place orders on behalf of those retailers with the wholesale distributor that supplies them. The distributor sets up the system and controls what vendors can access; the vendor rep uses the app to place orders directly without phone calls, emails, or paper forms. It’s worth noting that the distributor must already be using the ZiiZii order entry solution for Vendor Ordering to work.
How does this differ from a vendor simply calling in or emailing an order?
Phone and email orders require someone on the distributor’s side to receive, interpret, and manually enter the order — introducing delay, potential for error, and administrative overhead on both ends. With ZiiZii Vendor Ordering, the vendor rep places the order directly through the app, which submits it into the distributor’s system without any manual re-entry. The vendor gets confirmation, the distributor gets a clean order, and both sides eliminate the back-and-forth that slows down the process.
What product and pricing information does the vendor rep see in the app?
Vendor reps only see the products and pricing that the distributor has authorized for them — nothing outside their scope is visible. This keeps the ordering experience focused and prevents confusion while maintaining the distributor’s control over what each vendor can access. Product details are available at the customer location so reps have the information they need to order accurately on the spot.
How quickly can a vendor rep get set up and start using the app?
Setup for vendor reps is straightforward and handled through the distributor’s ZiiZii configuration. Reps can typically start using the app from day one once access is provisioned. The interface is designed for speed — finding products, entering quantities, and submitting orders is a fast workflow that doesn’t require training beyond initial orientation.
Does ZiiZii Vendor Ordering support DSD (Direct Store Delivery) workflows?
Yes. The app is designed with DSD workflows in mind — vendor reps moving between retail locations, ordering on behalf of those stores from the distributor. The combination of mobile access, location-based ordering, and direct submission into the distributor’s system fits naturally into how DSD operations run in the field.
How does Vendor Ordering connect to the distributor's existing ZiiZii setup?
Vendor Ordering is an extension of the ZiiZii platform, not a standalone product. It connects to the same product catalog, customer data, and ERP integration already in place for the distributor’s main ZiiZii setup. There’s no duplicate system to maintain — when product information or pricing updates in the main system, it’s reflected in the Vendor Ordering app automatically after syncing.
