Roar
by Pet Industry Resource
The pet industry operating platform.
Active Configuration
Generation Pet Wholesale Distribution
Founding Design Partner

Roar is PIR's proprietary platform for pet industry operators. Generation Pet is the founding design partner for the wholesale distribution configuration: the first time Roar has been built for a distributor rather than a service provider. The five modules below represent the complete scope of what PIR is building in partnership with GenPet. Once this configuration is complete, it becomes the foundation of a platform PIR brings to other pet wholesale distributors. GenPet gets a purpose-built operating platform. PIR gets paid to build a product.

01
B2B Ordering
Wholesale Ordering Portal
In Progress

The next-generation ordering interface for independent pet retailers. Real-time inventory, brand and category browsing, a full order history, and quick UPC entry for repeat orders. Replaces the current genpet.org ordering system with a purpose-built B2B surface that treats the retailer as a partner, not just a checkout user.

Real-time inventory across both warehouses
Brand and category browse with filter by diet, protein, species
Full order history with repeat-order shortcuts
Quick UPC entry for fast reorders
Previously ordered items surfaced at account login
Open credit and account balance visibility
Rep contact directly from the account view
Mobile-responsive, built for use on the store floor

Account Management
Retailer CRM
Coming Soon

Account management built for the way GenPet actually operates: five regional reps, independent store relationships that go back decades, and no CRM tool that knows any of it. This module closes that gap. Every retailer account, every rep relationship, every open credit and order note, in one place. The acknowledged CRM gap on the Epicor evaluation scorecard, solved.

Complete retailer account profiles with contact info
Territory and rep assignment per account
Full order history at the account level
Open credits and balance tracking
Rep notes and activity log per account
Account health flags (inactive, at-risk, high-value)

Inventory Operations
Inventory & Warehouse Dashboard
Coming Soon

A unified view of both GenPet warehouses: Maryland (Stevensville) and Northern (Bloomfield, CT). Real-time stock levels by brand and category, Friday transfer status, and FIFO tracking per product type. The operational layer that keeps the ordering portal's inventory counts accurate and gives the internal team a live picture of what is where.

Sales Operations
Order Management & PDF-to-SO
Coming Soon

The sales order pipeline, with a specific capability that came out of the Epicor evaluation as the single most-requested feature: PDF purchase order intake. A retailer drops a PDF purchase order, the system reads it and converts it to a structured sales order. What used to be manual data entry becomes a confirmation step. The rest of the module handles the full order lifecycle from creation through fulfillment.

Full sales order pipeline: draft, confirmed, fulfilled, invoiced
Order status visible to reps and operations
Tie each order to the retailer CRM account
Partial fulfillment and backorder tracking

Financial Operations
Finance & Chargeback Tracker
Coming Soon

Manufacturer build-back and chargeback management for Eliza and the GenPet finance team. Every manufacturer program in one place: open amounts, approval status, and a full history of what was claimed and when. Replaces the current manual process with a tracked, auditable workflow that surfaces what is owed, what is pending, and what has been collected.
