Crowd Wisdom for Retail Buyers
Today we're excited to announce Popularity Badges and the New to You widget — tools that help retailers make smarter inventory decisions by showing what's trending across the Ordrly marketplace.
What Are Popularity Badges?
Every product now displays a badge showing its performance trend:
🔥 Trending: Growing rapidly; orders up week-over-week.
⭐ Bestseller: Top performer in its category and region.
🚀 Emerging: New product gaining early momentum.
Badges update daily, so you always see the latest signals.
Why This Matters for Retailers
Retail inventory decisions are hard. You see 1,000 products from brands. Which ones should you stock? Which will actually sell?
Popularity badges answer: "Here's what other successful retailers like you are buying."
It's like having a data analyst on your team, showing you real sell-through signals.
Where You'll See Them
Open the product catalog in your Retail dashboard. Bestsellers and Trending products show badges next to their names. Click a product to see trend charts, sell-through percentages, and peer reviews.
The New to You Widget
We're also launching the New to You widget in your Retail dashboard:
New to You shows 5–10 products per week that are:
Trending with retailers in your segment
You haven't ordered yet
Highly rated by peers
It's personalized discovery. Every week, check it for fresh stocking ideas.
Privacy First
We're committed to your privacy. You never see which competitors are buying what. You only see aggregate signals:
"This product is trending (10% more orders this week)"
"Trending in your region"
"Rated 4.8/5 by peer retailers"
Your business data stays confidential.
Availability
Popularity Badges and New to You are available to all retailers, including free-tier users. This is a core feature to help every retailer succeed.
What's Next
We're planning to add:
Seasonal trends: See which products trend by season (winter boots in Q4, sundresses in Q2).
Competitor benchmarking: Anonymous comparison: "You stocked 5 competitors; they stocked 8. Here are the 3 you missed."
Demand forecasts: "This product sold 20 units last week; predict 25 next week" for retailers on paid tiers.
Get Started
Log into your Retail dashboard and browse the product catalog. Look for the badges. Check out the New to You widget (usually on your dashboard home or under "Recommended"). Start stocking products that are working for peers—and differentiate with your own curation.
