Dashboard tour

Once you sign in, you land on the dashboard. Every screen described here lives in the left-hand sidebar.

Dashboard

Path: /dashboard

Your home screen. It summarises how your business is doing over a selected time period (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 12 months):

  • Stat cards — revenue, order count, average order value, new customers. Each shows a sparkline and a percentage change vs. the previous period.
  • Revenue over time — a line chart, daily for short periods and monthly for the 12-month view. Cancelled orders are excluded.
  • Fulfilment panel — breakdown of orders by status so you can see what's pending.
  • Category breakdown — revenue split by product category.
  • Recent orders — the last 8 orders with customer, status, and total.
  • Inventory health — products that are out of stock or running low.
  • Top products / top customers — who and what is driving revenue.

Change the period from the selector at the top-right.

Inventory

Path: /dashboard/inventory

Manage everything you sell. Each row is a product with SKU, category, price, stock, and an active/inactive toggle.

From this screen you can:

  • Add product — opens a form for name, SKU, category, unit, price, stock, image, and description.
  • Import CSV — bulk-upload an existing catalog. See Products CSV format for the column spec.
  • Export CSV — download your entire catalog.
  • Search / filter — by name, SKU, category, or status.
  • Bulk actions — select multiple products to change their status or delete.

Clicking a product name opens the detail page where you can edit any field or upload a new image.

Orders

Path: /dashboard/orders

The order list with filters for status, date range, minimum/maximum total, and customer. Each row links to the order detail.

From the detail page you can:

  • Advance the order through the status workflow (SUBMITTED → CONFIRMED → SHIPPED → DELIVERED)
  • Download the invoice PDF
  • See line items, quantities, unit prices, and totals
  • Add internal notes

Top-right buttons:

  • New order — place an internal order (useful for walk-ins and testing)
  • Export CSV — download orders in the current filter for accounting or reporting

Documents

Path: /dashboard/documents

A per-customer file vault. Store contracts, compliance docs, packing lists, or any other PDFs you need to keep attached to customer records. Categories: INVOICE, PACKING_LIST, COMPLIANCE, CONTRACT, OTHER.

Customers

Path: /dashboard/customers

Every B2B buyer who has registered at your storefront (or been imported via CSV). Each row shows status (ACTIVE / BLOCKED), order count, total spent, and last-order date.

Clicking a customer opens the detail page with:

  • Price overrides — set custom per-product pricing for this customer
  • Contacts — add multiple sub-users (ADMIN / BUYER / VIEWER) under one customer account, so a whole buying team can share one login relationship
  • Credit limit and notes fields
  • Status toggle — block a customer from placing new orders
  • Order history

Heads up: customers are created at your storefront (when they self-register) or by CSV import. There is no "Add customer" button in the dashboard — this is intentional, so customers always have credentials they chose themselves.

Team

Path: /dashboard/team

Invite other people at your company to share the dashboard. Visible to OWNER and ADMIN roles.

See Team & roles for the full permission matrix and the invite flow.

Billing

Path: /dashboard/billing

Your subscription status, current plan, and upgrade options. Key actions:

  • Choose / change plan — redirects to the secure hosted checkout
  • Manage subscription — opens the billing portal (update payment method, view invoices, cancel)
  • Usage — team members, customers, products vs. plan limits

During your 14-day trial, you can run Distribu fully. Once the trial ends, you'll need to pick a plan to keep placing orders.

Settings

Path: /dashboard/settings

Company-level configuration:

  • General — company name, slug (your storefront URL), branding
  • API keys — create scoped keys for programmatic access. See REST API authentication.
  • Webhooks — add endpoints that receive real-time events. See Webhooks overview.
  • Audit log — a per-action record of who did what and when, useful for compliance and debugging.

Search (Cmd+K)

From anywhere in the dashboard, press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) to open the command palette. It searches products, orders, and customers across your whole company in one go — type a few letters and hit enter to jump to the result.
