Manual Wholesale Complexity:
Minimum Order Quantities and stock limits were enforced manually, creating room for errors at every order and making it impossible to scale the buyer network reliably.

The Challenges
Digitising a Manual Wholesale Operation Built on Informal Processes
A wholesale dress materials manufacturer set out to digitise its B2B ordering operation and build a seamless mobile experience for its buyers and field salesmen.
The brand faced several challenges:
No Infrastructure for Field Sales:
Salesmen had no dedicated tool to place orders on behalf of specific customers while in the field, making representative-led sales slow and prone to miscommunication.
iOS Compliance Versus Business Privacy
Apple's App Store mandates public catalog browsing for e-commerce apps, but TBE's business model requires designs to be visible only to registered wholesale buyers, a direct conflict requiring a technical resolution.
Account Security and App Integrity
The platform needed to prevent unauthorised account sharing across devices and ensure all users were always on the latest version of the app.
The Solution
From Informal Processes to a Structured Digital Ordering Ecosystem
A cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android was built to replace manual wholesale operations end to end, giving buyers, salesmen, and admins a purpose-built tool for every stage of the ordering process.
01
Simplified Access and Intelligent Cart Management
Secure OTP Authentication and Device Binding
OTP-based registration via SMS replaced password-based login, giving every buyer a simple and verified way to access the platform. Device binding ties each account to a single authorised device, preventing account sharing across the buyer network.
Automated MOQ and Real-Time Stock Validation
The cart automatically sets quantities to the Minimum Order Quantity on product selection, removing the need for manual enforcement. Real-time stock validation prevents buyers from ordering beyond available inventory, with cart state synchronised across all screens instantly.
A buying experience that enforces wholesale rules automatically, removing manual errors from every order.
02
Field Sales and Buyer Loyalty
Salesman B2B Ordering Module
Field representatives can place orders for any customer from the field, with the active customer clearly visible throughout the process. Buyers receive an automated WhatsApp order confirmation the moment a salesman places their order, removing follow-up calls entirely.
Achievement and Milestone Rewards
A tiered reward system tracks each buyer's total order value and displays progress through Locked, Eligible, and Completed milestone cards visible from the home screen. Admin controls reward status in real time without requiring a new app release.
A field-ready sales tool and a loyalty engine that keeps high-value buyers engaged and returning.
03
Compliance, Remote Control and App Integrity
iOS Review Bypass and App Store Compliance
The conflict between Apple's mandatory public catalog access and the business requirement for registered-only design visibility is resolved automatically through a hardcoded reviewer account, with no manual intervention needed after the initial setup.
Firebase Remote Config and Force Update
The client can turn features on or off and adjust app behaviour across all live devices without submitting a new app release. A Force Update mechanism ensures no buyer can continue using an outdated or insecure version of the app.
A compliance-ready platform that gives the business full control over features, access, and app behaviour without touching the app store.
Core Screen
Essential screens powering the partner experience.
The results
A measurable transformation in user engagement, operational efficiency, and program scale.
Manual MOQ and stock enforcement were replaced entirely, with the cart now applying wholesale rules automatically at the point of order and eliminating ordering errors. Field sales operations streamlined through the Salesman Module, giving representatives a dedicated flow to place and confirm orders for any customer from the field. iOS App Store compliance was achieved without compromising TBE's proprietary design privacy, a conflict that had no precedent solution in their previous setup. Admins gained real-time control over buyer rewards and feature visibility across the entire app, without deploying a new release. Account security strengthened through device binding, preventing unauthorised sharing across the wholesale buyer network. Buyer loyalty incentivised through a milestone reward system that tracks total order value and surfaces progress directly on the home screen.

What Tamanna Bhanu Embroideries Had to Say About Us
What Tamanna Bhanu Embroideries Had to Say About Us
Managing wholesale orders manually was creating problems we could not solve on our own. Kombee understood our business model from the start, including the complexity around our design privacy and the way our salesmen operate in the field. The platform they built handles all of that without us having to intervene at every step. The ordering process is now faster and more accurate for our buyers, our salesmen have everything they need on one screen, and we can make changes to the app without waiting on a new release. It has made a measurable difference to how we run day-to-day operations.
