Wholesale standing orders
Weekly orders for shops, cafés and bakeries that roll over on their own, with cutoffs and change requests.
Egg farm software: standing orders, subscriptions & runs
Egg farms: standing orders for shops, subscriptions for homes. Every dozen accounted for.
Cafés ring at 6am, households text for two dozen, the run sheet is scribbled on the back of a feed docket and the hens have their own ideas about supply. We build ordering, subscription, packing and delivery systems for egg farms that match orders to what was actually laid. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for egg farm software that handles shop orders, household subscriptions and the delivery run?
An egg farm sells the same product three ways: wholesale to shops and cafés, regular dozens to households and whatever's left at the farm gate. Each one usually runs on its own mess of phone calls, texts, a notebook and a spreadsheet. Meanwhile supply moves with the season, the moult and the weather, so the order book and the laying shed rarely agree.
Wollopit builds custom egg farm software around how your farm actually runs. Shops and cafés get standing orders that roll over. Households manage their own subscriptions. Daily collection numbers set what can be sold so you never oversell. Pack lists, delivery runs and invoices come straight from the orders. We connect the tools you already use and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to the hens.
01The problems
What we hear from egg farms
Does your egg farm have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most egg farms we talk to have happy hens and loyal customers. The bit in between runs on phone calls, memory and a very tired notebook.
- The problemShop orders by phoneCafés ring at 6am, the corner store texts a photo of its shelf and someone retypes the lot into a notebook.How we fix itStanding orders for every shop and café that roll over each week, with a portal for changes before cutoff.
- The problemHousehold orders in your textsFifty households texting 'two dozen this week please' and nobody sure who's been missed.How we fix itHousehold subscriptions they manage themselves: skip a week, add a dozen or pause for holidays.
- The problemThe hens don't read the order bookLay rate drops in winter or during a moult and you've promised more dozens than the girls can deliver.How we fix itDaily collection numbers set what's available. Orders cap themselves and accounts get fair shares when supply is tight.

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your egg farm: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time in the shed, the packing room and the ute on a delivery run, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your accounts, subscriptions, sheds, sizes, runs, billing, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before the next flush.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things egg farms ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we limit orders when hens slow down?
Yes. Log the day's collection and available stock updates itself. Orders cap automatically so you never oversell. When supply is tight you can share it fairly across accounts.
Can we sell different sizes and seconds?
Yes. Each account can order 600g, 700g or 800g cartons, trays of 30 or seconds, all at their own pricing. The pack list totals each one for you.
Can households manage their own subscriptions?
Yes. They can skip a week, pause for holidays or add a dozen from their phone. Payments come in by card or direct debit without you lifting a finger.
Can it handle farm gate sales?
Yes. Customers can pre-order and pay online, then collect from the stall or fridge with a pickup code. A live stock count on your website saves them a wasted drive.
We already sell on Shopify. Do we have to switch?
No. If Shopify, Square or WooCommerce is doing its job, we build around it and add the standing orders, supply limits and delivery runs on top. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.
How much does an egg farm system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like household subscriptions or a delivery run planner can be quick. Bigger systems are built in stages so you get the first win early.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most egg farms we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
