Industries / Beauty and salon supply
Salons and stylists are loyal to specific brands and shades. When a brand backorders, there is often no substitute. TraxSail follows up on every open PO so you can warn customers early.
25 purchase orders free. No credit card.
The supplier side, not the sales side.
Popular lines, shades and sizes go on backorder, and brands do not always tell distributors right away.
A stylist who uses one color line will not switch for a single order.
When brands set minimum advertised prices, a cost increase you miss comes straight out of margin.
Many beauty suppliers sell on Shopify and wholesale, so stock-outs show up in more than one place.
TraxSail drafts follow-ups that get firmer as a ship date nears and passes. You approve each one by default, or turn on auto-send per supplier.
When a supplier answers, the reply is parsed and the PO is marked confirmed or delayed, with the new date.
Each new PO price is checked against that supplier's history for the item, so creep gets noticed.
Every supplier gets a reliability score and a letter grade with the reason in plain words. If a grade drops overnight, you get an email.
Shopify is live on every plan. Faire is in early access for brands selling wholesale there.
Once an item has 3 or more orders, TraxSail suggests when to reorder. Late suppliers push the suggestion earlier. One click builds the PO.
Illustrative example, not a real customer
Imagine a distributor whose top-selling color line has three open POs. TraxSail checks in with the brand before each ship date. The brand replies that two shades are backordered for three weeks. Those POs are marked delayed and the team can tell their salon accounts right away. A later PO comes in at a higher unit cost and the increase is flagged against that brand's price history.
This scenario is made up to show how the features fit together. It is not a customer story and the details are not measured results.
No. It does not monitor retail prices. It flags increases in what you pay the brand, compared with your own PO history, so you can protect margin.
Yes. Shopify is live on every plan, and Faire is in early access for wholesale brands.
Amazon is coming soon and not live yet. Shopify and Faire are live today.
Import a PO export, approve the first follow-ups, and see every supplier graded. Starter is $79 a month for 15 suppliers. Growth is $189 a month for 40.
