Bulk Buying Software

At CoHo Cohousing in Corvallis, Oregon, we?re starting to work on our
overall plans for meals and bulk buying so we?ll be ready to launch when we
move in next fall.

The subcommittee investigating bulk buying (both for common meals and for
resale to members) has discovered that we cannot order directly from the
only organic distributor that services Corvallis due to their policy of not
selling to bulk-buying clubs that are within 50 miles of stores they serve
(like our local coop).  We can order through the coop, but they don?t use
software for ordering.  So?.

We are in search of info on bulk buying software (either commercial software
or home-grown).  We?d like to look at the features of the software to see
what would meet our needs.  We may want to incorporate bulk buying software
and meal plan software into one package.

We plan to start experimenting with bulk purchases in the next few months.

We?d be interested in hearing from anyone with experience with bulk-buying
software either in or out of cohousing.  What tips can you give us to save
time and energy?

Thanks in advance for your help.
