What is Local Line?
Local Line is a farm-to-fork commerce platform for local food buyers and suppliers. Our E-commerce Platform helps farms, producers, food hubs and farmers markets sell to their customers and manage all their operations in one place. Our Sourcing Platform helps grocers, restaurants, and distributors buy direct from local farms.
Can I manage multiple suppliers with Local Line?
Yes, Local Line was built for distributors who work with many suppliers across different product categories. The platform brings all suppliers and their products into one system, allowing you to compare options, manage pricing, and build accurate orders quickly. If a client requests something you do not currently stock, you can easily discover new suppliers, source alternatives, and keep customers satisfied without disrupting supply.

Can I manage my existing suppliers on Local Line?
Yes! You can set up your existing suppliers on Local Line and manage all your sourcing through our software. Your suppliers will be given their own Local Line supplier account to upload their inventory and manage incoming orders.
How does Local Line help distributors save time?
Distributors often spend hours every week managing orders manually. Local Line automates many of these repetitive tasks by offering centralized ordering, real-time inventory tracking, and automated recordkeeping. This helps reduce paperwork, avoid errors, and eliminate duplicate communication. By saving valuable time, distributors can focus on building stronger supplier and client relationships while scaling their business without scaling their workload.
