Brandboom

Brandboom is a business-to-business sales platform for brands and their wholesale buyers. It is best suited to sellers who build sales around digital line sheets and want buyers or representatives to place orders through the same system. Its free plan is a practical way to get started, but some mobile tasks still require a computer.

Overview

Brandboom brings product presentation, buyer relationships and order handling into one workflow. Brands can share line sheets as live links or PDFs, while buyers can view them and place orders without an account or buyer fee. That lowers friction for wholesale customers; it also means sellers need to manage presentation access deliberately, since presentations cannot be password protected. Owners can monitor visitors, disable links and use custom access codes.

Key features

Line sheets can support ordering directly from a product presentation, which suits brands that sell through curated assortments rather than relying only on a conventional storefront. Product tools cover individual and bulk product creation, CSV imports, inventory, variants and pricing tiers. Together, these provide a useful foundation for managing a changing wholesale catalogue.

Order entry supports buyer self-service carts, sales-representative web entry, the iOS app and barcode workflows, with order validation. The iPad app can display presentations offline and write orders, but cannot create invoices or process payments; those tasks must be completed on a desktop or laptop. That distinction matters for representatives who need to finish the entire transaction while away from a computer.

Brandboom Marketplace adds a buyer-discovery channel and guarantees brands payment after an order is delivered. The free plan allows unlimited Marketplace orders but limits orders placed outside it, so direct line-sheet sellers may outgrow the no-cost tier sooner than Marketplace-focused brands.

Payments include credit-card and ACH through Stripe, as well as PayPal, including PayPal Pay Later. Integrations span Shopify, ApparelMagic, Stripe, PayPal, Shippo, Zapier, AIMS360, NetSuite, Aptean, A2000, Pavo, DigitBridge, Calendly and Sync Mobile. Custom integrations use the API, but live API connections require the Business plan. Brandboom advertises phone support Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, and email support at [email protected].

Pricing

Brandboom is freemium, with a free plan and a free trial. Buyers can view line sheets and place orders without creating an account or paying fees. Paid plans start at $50 a month (billed annually), or $50/user/mo on an annual basis.

• Free — free: Create products and presentations, share presentations, and take unlimited Marketplace orders. The tradeoff is limited orders outside the Marketplace, making this most suitable for sellers testing the workflow or relying heavily on Marketplace sales.
• Basic — $50 a month (billed annually): One brand, 25 active products, 50 active SKUs, orders and invoices, Stripe and PayPal, and Shopify integration. It suits a small catalogue and a single brand, but the product and SKU caps constrain growth.
• Startup — $83 a month (billed annually): 150 active products, unlimited SKUs, external representatives, buyer activity tracking, volume discounts, a quick-order mobile app, and quoting and order sending. It fits expanding sales teams that need more catalogue room and rep tools than Basic provides.
• Business — custom pricing: Unlimited brands and products, API integrations and ERP file-drop sync, future ship windows, buyer-order management, private invitation emails and priority support. This is the tier for businesses needing live API connections or broader operational controls.
• Enterpise — custom pricing: Larger teams, custom integrations and solutions, sales-representative management, advanced reporting and a dedicated account manager. It is aimed at organizations with more complex team and integration needs.

Platforms

Brandboom lists web, iOS and API platforms. The iPad app’s offline presentation viewing and order writing are useful for sales appointments, but invoice creation and payment processing remain desktop or laptop tasks. Brandboom Pro is publicly available for iOS devices only, so teams should check that its mobile availability matches their devices and workflow.

Who it's for

Brandboom is a strong fit for fashion and other wholesale brands that present assortments through line sheets, maintain variant-rich catalogues and want buyers or reps to enter orders without a separate buyer account. It is less suitable for teams that must invoice and collect payment entirely on an iPad, or for direct-order sellers who need unlimited non-Marketplace orders on a free plan.

The platform handles sensitive business information: its privacy policy says it collects names, contact details, billing and payment-account information, inventory, prices and customer information. Businesses should account for that data footprint when choosing a sales system.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Buyers can order from shared line sheets without an account or fee, reducing a common barrier to wholesale ordering.
• Pro: Product management combines bulk creation, CSV imports, inventory, variants and pricing tiers, while Marketplace orders are unlimited on the free plan.
• Pro: A wide range of commerce, fulfillment and business-system integrations supports varied operating setups; Business adds live API connections.
• Con: The free plan limits orders outside Marketplace, which weakens its fit for sellers who generate most business through direct presentation links.
• Con: The iPad app cannot create invoices or process payments, leaving representatives dependent on a desktop or laptop for those steps.
• Con: Presentations lack password protection. Visitor monitoring, link disabling and access codes offer controls, but not password-based access.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, start with Order Entry Software. Consider Simplisales if its free forever plan—100 sales orders per month, one user, manual entry, one catalogue and one price list—better matches a small operation. RepZio is another option to compare, including its free Basic sales-rep license, which provides web access but excludes iOS access and order submission.

Onsight is worth considering if a paid plan with explicit product, customer and order quotas is a better fit: its Starter plan is $54 a month, billed at $54 /user/mo, and includes up to 1,000 products, 1,000 customers, 500 orders per month and 5 GB of image storage. For a larger B2B operation seeking an enterprise platform, compare RepSpark. Pepperi is another paid alternative.

OrderTaker may suit buyers seeking an annually billed mobile CRM and ordering app: its Economy plan is $50 a month and supports iOS, Android, tablets and iPad. Orderwerks is an alternative with a Web Portal + Sales App plan at $60 a month per user, volume pricing for teams of five or more, and no transaction fees. Zoey is another paid option, with a Starter plan at $600 a month for one user license and 50 included accounts, capped at 100.

Verdict

Choose Brandboom if digital line sheets are central to your wholesale sales and you want buyer self-service, rep order entry and catalogue management together, with a free way to start. Look elsewhere if representatives must invoice and process payments on iPad, if direct orders exceed the free plan’s allowance, or if password-protected presentations are essential.
