His mornings are spent reading distributor catalogs and sell-through data, because wholesale lives and dies on buying the right cases of the right products before the cash and the shelf are committed. Every brand has a minimum order quantity, so he can't toe-test a product, he has to commit to a case pack or a full carton up front, betting that a margin measured in single-digit dollars per unit will sell through fast enough to matter. Receiving day is barcode and label work, checking the purchase order against the supplier invoice for shorts and price discrepancies, then shelving the case packs where he can find them. The margin math is relentless: a product he buys at a real wholesale discount can still lose money once the marketplace referral fee and the shipping come off the top, so he prices and re-prices constantly against the spread. The recurring nightmare is the stockout, a fast mover running dry because he didn't reorder in time while his cash sat frozen in a slow SKU he over-bought. And gating is always lurking: a hot brand can require authorization, and listing an ungated product can get the listing pulled or the account flagged, so he tracks which brands he's approved to sell. It's a volume game on thin margins where the discipline of reordering and the discipline of not over-buying are the same survival skill.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a wholesale reseller's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a wholesale reseller — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
