Local Line is built specifically for how food hubs operate: multi-vendors, complex logistics, and buyers who expect quality and reliability.
Food hubs coast-to-coast trust Local Line to power their operations
Between coordinating dozens of suppliers, routing multi-farm orders, keeping buyers satisfied, and producing the reporting your funders expect, you’re running one of the most complex operations in the local food system. You deserve software that was actually built for it.
Chasing availability updates, sending order changes to 40 suppliers, and manually reconciling payouts every week. Local Line gives every vendor their own portal.
Grant funders need clean, exportable data on local spend, vendor participation, and regional impact. Without it, you’re leaving money on the table.
Building pack lists by hand, managing routes across multiple delivery zones, and tracking order status across the supply chain shouldn’t require a full-time admin.
Whether you’re a regional aggregator, a community food hub, or a multi-vendor operation. Local Line handles the complexity of your specific model.
“I’m emailing 35 farms for availability updates, building pack lists in a spreadsheet, and reconciling vendor payments manually. There has to be a better way.”
“We were one of only two distributors that got funding from our state because we could do the metrics and the reporting. We wouldn’t be in this position without Local Line.”
Anne, Region Roots
“We knew the demand was there. People wanted to support local, but there was no easy way to do it without overwhelming ourselves or our producers.”
“Our institutional buyers need compliance documentation, lot traceability, and invoice terms we can’t produce manually. One audit could shut us down.”
“Our inventory changes daily, we sell to walk-in customers AND wholesale accounts, and we’re managing subscriptions on top of all of it. It’s impossible to keep track.”
Most food hubs sell to three or four buyer segments simultaneously. Local Line manages all of them from a single vendor inventory.
Create custom price lists for each wholesale buyer type. One vendor inventory, every account gets the right products, pricing, and payment terms automatically.
Meet institutional compliance requirements with traceability reporting, food safety documentation, and the invoice formats large buyers require.
Let members manage their own subscriptions, pause, swap, or skip online. Every change updates vendor inventory in real time. No inbox management required.
Accept in-person sales through the built-in POS. Every transaction deducts from the same vendor inventory your wholesale and subscription buyers are shopping from.
Built for the realities of food hub operations, not repackaged from a generic e-commerce platform.
Each supplier gets their own portal to manage inventory, view orders, and confirm fulfillment. You stay in control. They stay in the loop.
50+ customizable reports with grant-ready data exports. Track local spend, vendor participation, and regional impact by buyer segment.
ACH, credit card, net-30, net-60, installments. Set different terms per price list and per buyer segment.
Local Line routes each order to the right suppliers, generates pick and pack lists, and tracks fulfillment end-to-end. No spreadsheet handoffs.
Set delivery zones by zip code or route. Generate manifests automatically. Reduce drive time across your distribution area.
Sync vendor inventory across wholesale, retail, subscription, and institutional channels simultaneously. Unlimited price lists so every buyer sees exactly what they should.

“We were one of only two distributors that got funding from our state to do this, and that was because we could do the metrics and the reporting of these sales. We wouldn’t be in this position to access that funding without Local Line and its reporting capabilities.”
“With Local Line, we can handle complex logistics effortlessly. The system does most of the work, and we only need one employee to assist with basic admin work.”
