Textile wholesale software: line sheets & stockist orders

Textile makers: line sheets stockists can actually order from. Wholesale made simple.

The line sheet is a PDF that was out of date the day you sent it. Stockist orders arrive by email, minimums get checked by eye and the retail shop has no idea wholesale just took the last bolt of the indigo. We build wholesale portals, line sheets and production systems for textile makers that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for wholesale line sheet software that stockists will actually use?

A textile business is a design studio, a production manager, a retail shop and a wholesaler rolled into one. Every new season means a fresh PDF line sheet, a flood of order emails, a spreadsheet of who wants what and a lot of retyping into Xero. Add colourways, sizes, dye lots and a print run that lands three weeks late and it gets messy fast.

Wollopit builds custom textile software around how your studio actually works. Your collection lives in one catalogue. Stockists log in to see wholesale pricing, order against your minimums and pre-order next season before it's printed. Retail and wholesale share the same stock so nothing gets sold twice. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to designing.

01The problems

What we hear from textile makers

Does your textile business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most textile makers we talk to have a gorgeous collection and a wholesale process held together with PDFs, inbox folders and a very patient bookkeeper. It works until the new season drops.

  • The problemPDF line sheets go stale fastYou export a line sheet, email it to forty stockists and a colourway sells out the next morning. Now half of them are ordering something you can't make.
    How we fix itLive line sheets online. Sold-out colourways disappear, new arrivals appear and every stockist always sees the current collection.
  • The problemOrders arrive by email and get retypedStockists reply with a list of SKUs, a photo of a notepad or a marked-up PDF. Someone keys it all into Xero and gets a code wrong.
    How we fix itStockists order straight from the line sheet. Orders land as clean records and invoices go into Xero or MYOB on their own.
  • The problemMinimums checked by handOpening order minimums, reorder minimums and pack quantities all policed by you squinting at an email.
    How we fix itMinimums built in by dollar value, units or pack size. The cart won't submit until the order meets your rules.
  • The problemSeasonal pre-orders are chaosNext season's indent comes in across emails and trade show notes. You can't tell how many metres to print until it's too late.
    How we fix itPre-order windows with clear cut-off dates. Totals by design and colourway roll up so you know exactly what to put into production.
  • The problemStockist applications by emailShops ask to stock you through Instagram DMs and the contact form. Nobody checks their ABN or whether they're two doors down from an existing stockist.
    How we fix itAn online stockist application with ABN lookup, store details and photos. Approve in one click and their account is ready.
  • The problemRetail and wholesale fight over stockThe website sells the last ten tea towels at retail while a stockist orders thirty at wholesale. Someone gets an awkward email.
    How we fix itOne stock pool shared by your retail shop and wholesale portal, with stock reserved for pre-orders so nothing sells twice.
  • The problemColourways and sizes multiplySix prints in four colourways across three sizes and suddenly there are seventy SKUs and a spreadsheet no one trusts.
    How we fix itA product catalogue built for textiles: design, colourway, size and fabric base as proper options, with photos for each.
  • The problemProduction runs tracked in email threadsThe mill, the printer and the sewing room all have different dates and you find out a run is late when a stockist asks.
    How we fix itA production board for every run: supplier, quantities, due dates and status, with stockists told automatically if dates move.
  • The problemDye lots don't matchA reorder ships from a new dye lot and the stockist's shelf now has two slightly different blues side by side.
    How we fix itDye lot and batch tracking on every roll and run, so reorders match where they can and you know which lot went where.
  • The problemSample and swatch requests get lostStockists and interior designers ask for swatches, someone posts them eventually and nobody follows up.
    How we fix itSwatch and sample requests online with a posting queue, Australia Post labels and an automatic follow-up a week later.
  • The problemTrade show orders on paperThree days at a trade fair, a stack of handwritten order forms and a week of typing them up when you get home.
    How we fix itTake orders on a tablet at the stand straight into the wholesale system, even with patchy wifi.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole textile business, on one system.

These are the systems textile makers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Live line sheets

A line sheet that's never out of date.

Your collection lives online as a line sheet stockists can browse and order from. Sell out of a colourway or add a new print and every stockist sees it straight away. Need a PDF for a buyer who loves paper? Print a fresh one in a click.

  • Collections and seasons as separate line sheets
  • Wholesale and RRP side by side
  • Every colourway with its own photos
  • Sold-out and low-stock flags
  • Share links for prospective stockists
  • Fresh PDF export any time
  • Composition, care and dimensions
  • New arrival and coming soon tags
  • Hide lines from certain stockists
  • Your branding, not a marketplace template

Wholesale ordering

Stockists order themselves. You stop retyping.

Approved stockists log in to see their own pricing, order straight from the line sheet and reorder from past orders. Minimums and pack sizes are enforced before the order lands and invoices flow into Xero or MYOB without anyone touching them.

  • Stockist logins with their own pricing
  • Opening and reorder minimums
  • Pack sizes and case quantities
  • Reorder from order history
  • Payment terms and credit limits
  • Invoices straight into Xero or MYOB
  • Pick lists for the packing bench
  • Shipping labels via StarShipIt or Australia Post
  • Order status emails to stockists
  • Account holds for overdue invoices

Pre-orders & indents

Next season sold before it's printed.

Open a pre-order window for the new collection with a clear cut-off date. Stockists place indents online and the totals roll up by design, colourway and size, so you know how many metres to print and how many units to sew.

  • Pre-order windows with cut-off dates
  • Optional deposits by card
  • Indent totals by design and colourway
  • Metres needed per fabric base
  • Stock reserved for pre-orders
  • Delivery months per stockist
  • Reminders before the window closes
  • Automatic updates if dates move
  • Balance invoices when stock lands
  • Trade show orders into the same pool

Production & stock

From mill to shelf, without the email trail.

Every print, weave, dye and sewing run sits on one production board with the supplier, quantities and due dates. Fabric stock is tracked in metres and rolls with dye lots attached, so reorders match and you always know what's actually on the shelf.

  • Production board for every run
  • Mills, printers and sewers as suppliers
  • Due dates with late-run alerts
  • Fabric stock in metres and rolls
  • Dye lot and batch tracking
  • Offcuts and seconds tracked separately
  • Finished goods into shared stock
  • Works alongside Cin7 or Unleashed
  • Cost per unit by run
  • Stockists told when dates change

Retail & wholesale together

One catalogue. Two price lists. No overselling.

Your retail shop and wholesale portal run off the same products and the same stock. The public sees RRP, stockists see wholesale and stock reserved for pre-orders stays out of the retail cart.

  • One product catalogue for both
  • Retail pricing for the public
  • Wholesale pricing behind a login
  • Shared stock across channels
  • Pre-order stock held back from retail
  • Works with Shopify or WooCommerce
  • Stockist locator on your website
  • Swatch requests from both sides
  • Retail and wholesale sales reports
  • Stockist applications on the same site
04How it changes

Before and after

A new season release, wolloped.

Here's how launching a new collection to stockists could change. Every textile business is different, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Build the line sheet PDF in Canva over a weekend
  2. Email it to every stockist one by one
  3. Orders trickle back as emails and marked-up PDFs
  4. Check each one against your minimums by hand
  5. Retype the lot into Xero
  6. Guess how many metres to print

After

  1. Add the new collection to the catalogue once
  2. Open the pre-order window and stockists get an email
  3. Stockists order straight from the live line sheet
  4. Minimums are enforced before the order lands
  5. Invoices go into Xero on their own
  6. Indent totals tell you exactly what to print

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 textile business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time in the studio, at the packing bench and in your inbox to see how collections, stockists and production runs actually move.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your catalogue, colourways, minimums, pre-orders, stock, suppliers, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before your next season launches.

  4. 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 textile makers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can stockists see only wholesale prices?

Yes. Stockists log in to see wholesale pricing while the public sees retail. You can even give different stockists different price tiers.

Can we set minimums by dollar value or by units?

Either or both. Opening orders, reorders and pack sizes can each have their own rules and the order won't submit until they're met.

Can we still send a PDF line sheet?

Yes. Some buyers love paper. You can export a fresh PDF from the live line sheet whenever you need one, so it's always current.

We sell on Faire. Do we have to stop?

No. Plenty of makers keep Faire for discovery and use their own portal for regular stockists. We can bring those orders into the same stock and reporting so nothing gets sold twice.

Do we need to switch from Shopify, Cin7 or Unleashed?

No. If they're doing their job we build around them and connect the wholesale side on top. If something is holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can it handle pre-orders with deposits?

Yes. Stockists can pay a deposit by card when they place an indent and the balance invoice goes out when the stock lands.

How much does it 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 live line sheets or stockist applications can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early, ideally before your next season opens.

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 textile makers 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.
