Software for CPG
You didn't build your brand to spend your days cold calling retailers.
Between managing wholesale accounts, staying on top of retailer requirements, and keeping DTC orders fulfilled, running a CPG business is relentlessly complex. You deserve software that makes your life easier.
Wholesale chaos with no system
Emailing invoices to every retailer individually, managing different pricing for each account in a spreadsheet, and manually following up on unpaid orders. Local Line gives every buyer their ordering portal.
No visibility into what's selling
Guessing at reorder points, running out of your best SKUs mid-season, and having no clean data to show new retail buyers when pitching your brand. Local Line tracks it all.
Distribution that stalls at local
Selling to three local retailers is one thing. Breaking into regional grocers, foodservice distributors, and institutional buyers requires professional tooling that most small brands don't have.
Built for Every CPG category
Your products. Our tools.
Whether you're a specialty food brand, a beverage producer, a cottage baker, or a packaged goods maker, Local Line handles the complexity of your operation.
