Dashboard

Analytics

The Analytics page provides broad insight to total orders in dollar amount and case quantities. This can be filtered by day, week, month, quarter, or year. You can toggle between your unique orders or your store as a whole by selecting For Buyer or For Store in the upper right corner. Additionally, you can see top products by value and quantity at the bottom on the screen.

Orders

Your Orders / Your Store / Store Buyers

• In the Orders Tool you can review the POs you placed, those your store has placed, and those other buyers associated with your account might have placed.
• You have the option to export your order history, filter by Brand or by Checkout Date, and see orders that are Pending, In Progress, or Fulfilled.

Samples

The Samples tool works similarly to the Orders tool. When you request a sample from a vendor, they will receive a notice to process the shipment as they would an order. You can track your requests, your store's, and other buyers' requests in the Sample tool. You can also view your sample history, those pending, fulfilled, and cancelled.

Credit Memos - How to Process

You can access Credit Memos within the Payments tool of your dashboard. Credit memos can be applied to your account when a claim has been processed. You can access the status, amount, expiry date, and a PDF copy within the tool.

Instructions are below for how to process a credit memo:

• If payment is by check or ACH, the retailer can instruct Pod to apply it on their remittance.
• If the payment is by credit card, the retailer can email ar@podfoods.co and let us know they want to apply the credit memo on their next order.

Monthly Statements

• Manage your monthly statements and access ACH information, where to mail a check, etc.
• Click into month-specific reports with the option to export as PDF or Excel.
• For any questions regarding your monthly statements, please reach out to ar@podfoods.co.
