Selling software and online tools for businesses to wholesalers

Wholesalers buy in bulk from producers and sell to retailers, trades or hospitality, with owners, buyers and warehouse managers each involved in decisions. They look for new product lines, better logistics and tools that handle many orders with a small team.

Software companies that sell to small and medium businesses often rely on inbound signups, content and paid ads. A lead database of the exact business types you serve adds a direct outbound channel that you control yourself.

The wholesalers that need software and online tools for businesses are listed publicly. What most software companies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What software companies run into with wholesalers

Buying contact data for a narrow vertical is expensive and often outdated.

Build the list yourself from public sources, import it and keep it fresh on your own server.

Outbound lists and product signups live in different places.

Keep prospects in one database with statuses and tags, and export to CSV whenever another system needs them.

Orders@ addresses are flooded with customer orders.

Choose buying@ or info@ as prefixes instead, and add your own where it fits.

Wholesaler lists span unrelated categories.

Tag categories and save a filter per tag, so each campaign fits the product range.

Product categories	Food, building materials or consumer goods each need a different pitch.
Customer type	Selling to retail, trade or hospitality changes their needs.
Warehouses	Multiple sites mean larger logistics needs.

Buyer	The person who decides on new product lines.

Questions people ask

How can a brand use Riftjaw to find wholesalers?

Import wholesaler lists from trade show pages or directories into a segment per category and send each one a short campaign. Track replies with statuses.

Can I note which wholesalers received samples?

Yes. Use a tag and a note with the date, then filter on the tag when it is time to follow up.

How do I get email addresses for wholesalers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
