Caribbean & Latin America
Wholesale software built for how Caribbean and Latin American businesses actually trade.
If your wholesale business operates across islands or borders, deals in multiple currencies, extends credit to repeat buyers, and needs to keep selling when the internet drops — Katalogo was built for exactly this.
Why Caribbean and Latin American wholesalers need different software
Most POS and inventory software was designed for single-country, single-currency, retail-only businesses in North America or Europe. Caribbean and Latin American wholesale operations don't work that way.
You trade in multiple currencies daily
A wholesaler in Port of Spain quotes in TTD for local retailers and USD for regional buyers. A distributor in Kingston deals in JMD domestically and USD for imported goods. A trader in Panama's Colon Free Zone operates in USD but sells to buyers paying in Colombian pesos, Dominican pesos, and Haitian gourdes.
Generic POS software supports one currency. Maybe two, with an expensive add-on. Katalogo handles dual currency natively on every plan, including Free. Set your primary and secondary currency, choose a live or fixed exchange rate, and every invoice, receipt, and ledger entry records both.
Your buyers expect credit — and tracking it is chaos
Caribbean and Latin American wholesale is credit-heavy. Buyers take 30, 60, sometimes 90 days to pay. Some pay in installments. Some pay late. Tracking who owes what across 50 buyers means scrolling through WhatsApp threads, checking a notebook, or opening three different spreadsheets.
Katalogo tracks credit automatically. Set limits per customer. Generate invoices against their account. Apply partial payments. See aging reports (30/60/90+ days) so you catch overdue accounts before they become bad debt.
Internet isn't always reliable
Island infrastructure means internet drops are not exceptions — they're a weekly reality. If your POS depends on a constant connection, you're losing sales every time the connection goes down.
Katalogo is offline-first. The POS, inventory lookups, and customer management all work without internet. When connectivity returns, everything syncs to the cloud automatically. No lost sales. No data loss.
You need catalogs, not just invoices
Wholesale buyers want to see your products before they order. In many Caribbean and Latin American markets, that means printed catalogs at trade events, PDF catalogs shared via WhatsApp, or price lists emailed to regional distributors. Creating these in Canva takes hours and they're outdated by the time you send them.
Katalogo generates branded PDF catalogs and B2B price lists directly from your live inventory. Filter by category, apply customer-specific pricing, click generate. 60 seconds. Always current.
How Katalogo fits Caribbean and Latin American operations
Multi-island and cross-border distribution
Manage inventory across multiple locations — warehouse, showroom, branch on another island. Transfer stock between locations with full audit trail. See aggregate stock or drill down per location.
Currency pairs that actually matter here
- USD + TTD (Trinidad & Tobago)
- USD + JMD (Jamaica)
- USD + GYD (Guyana)
- USD + SRD (Suriname)
- USD + BBD (Barbados)
- USD + PAB (Panama — though PAB is pegged to USD, invoicing in both is common)
- USD + BZD (Belize)
- Any other currency pair you need
Import-heavy supply chains
Most Caribbean and Latin American wholesalers import from India, China, the US, or Dubai. Katalogo tracks suppliers, purchase orders, PO fulfillment (partial and full), and payables. Manage your sourcing alongside your selling in one system.
Trade fair and showroom selling
Catalog Maker generates take-away PDFs for trade shows. Price List Generator creates tiered pricing for different buyer segments. Both pull from live inventory, so you never hand out a stale catalog at a booth.
Loyalty for repeat retail customers
If you run a hybrid operation — wholesale to businesses, retail to walk-in customers — Katalogo's loyalty program rewards repeat buyers with points. Configure earning rules, redemption thresholds, and expiry periods.

Start FreeFrequently asked questions for Caribbean and Latin American businesses
Does Katalogo work during internet outages?
Yes. The entire POS — sales, inventory, customer lookups — works offline. Data syncs automatically when internet returns. This is critical for island operations where connectivity is inconsistent.
Can I use TTD/JMD/GYD as my primary currency?
Yes. Any currency can be set as primary or secondary. Most Caribbean businesses set USD as primary and their local currency as secondary, but the reverse works too.
I import from India and China. Does Katalogo handle supplier management?
Yes. Create supplier profiles, generate purchase orders, track PO fulfillment, and manage payables. Many Caribbean wholesalers use Katalogo to track their India/China/Dubai sourcing alongside their local selling.
Can I manage inventory across multiple islands or locations?
Yes, on Core and Growth plans. Multi-location inventory with stock transfer tracking and per-location reporting.
What hardware do I need?
Any laptop, tablet, or phone with a browser. Standard thermal receipt printers (58mm or 80mm), barcode scanners, and cash drawers all work. No proprietary or expensive equipment.
Is the Free plan enough for a small operation?
For a solo importer or small-scale wholesaler with under 100 products, yes. 50 invoices/month, dual currency, B2B credit, offline POS, and 1 catalog per month. When you grow beyond that, Starter at $20/month covers most small teams.
