For wholesale suppliers, distributors and their resellers
The WhatsApp broadcast list alternative for managing your resellers
Revendeurs is the app that lets a supplier broadcast their product catalog to an unlimited network of resellers — where a WhatsApp broadcast list caps out at roughly 256 contacts and only reaches people who already saved your number.

- No 256-recipient ceiling
- Every reseller on the list gets the post
- Shop, analytics and requests in one place
- What is Revendeurs?
- Revendeurs is a mobile (Android and iOS) and web application for reseller network management and catalog broadcasting. A supplier creates a shop, builds one or more broadcast lists, then publishes products: every reseller who joined the list is notified, with no fixed recipient cap. Published by HauteTech, the app is available in French and English, and is used primarily in Senegal and West Africa.
Why WhatsApp broadcast lists stop keeping up
A WhatsApp broadcast list is limited to roughly 256 recipients, and a message only reaches contacts who saved your number on their phone. Once a reseller network grows past a few dozen people, those two constraints start costing sales.
A 256-contact ceiling per list
Past that you create a second list, then a third, and repost every announcement as many times. Tracking becomes manual and misses are inevitable.
Messages that never arrive
A reseller who hasn't saved your number receives nothing — and you are never told. You think you are reaching 256 people; you may be reaching half.
No overview at all
No broadcast analytics, no presentable catalog, and availability requests buried across dozens of conversations you have to sort through by hand.
Adding people one number at a time
Every new reseller has to be typed into your contacts, then into the right list. Every departure has to be removed the same way.
WhatsApp broadcast list vs Revendeurs
The difference comes down to one sentence: on WhatsApp, delivery depends on your resellers' address books; on Revendeurs, it depends only on their membership in your list.
| Criterion | WhatsApp broadcast list | Revendeurs |
|---|---|---|
| Recipients per list | Around 256 maximum | No fixed limit |
| Who receives the post | Only contacts who saved your number | Every active reseller on the list |
| Adding resellers | One number at a time, by hand | Invite link or code, or a public list in the directory |
| Product catalog | Photos dumped one after another in a chat | Shop with logo, product pages, prices and descriptions |
| Availability requests | Lost in the conversation thread | Centralised, notified and tracked until answered |
| Broadcast analytics | None | Posts, average cost, per-list history |
| Desktop access | WhatsApp Web, tied to a phone that stays on | Standalone supplier web dashboard |
| Cost | Free, but capped and untracked | 1 credit per reseller reached, bonus credits on sign-up |
How to manage your resellers with Revendeurs
Setting up a broadcast network takes four steps, entirely from the app or the supplier web dashboard.
- 1
Create your shop
Name, logo, description: this is the storefront resellers look at before joining your list, and what makes you recognisable in the public directory.
- 2
Invite your resellers
Share an invite link or code over SMS, WhatsApp or in person — or make your list visible in the "Explore" directory so new resellers find you on their own.
- 3
Publish your products
One post goes out to every active reseller on the list, with photo, price and description. Each one gets a notification, whether or not they saved your number.
- 4
Track and reply
Review your broadcast analytics, handle availability requests from your resellers, and top up credits when your balance runs low.
What Revendeurs replaces
An app built for the supplier-reseller relationship, rather than a messaging app bent to a job it was not designed for.
Broadcast lists with no ceiling
Create as many lists as you have product ranges, regions or price tiers. A list keeps growing without being split at 256 members.
Shop and product pages
A presentable catalog with logo, photos, prices and descriptions — browsable at any time, not only in the moment the message went out.
Invite links and codes
A reseller joins your list in one tap. Codes are single-use and links can be capped, so you stay in control of who gets in.
Public "Explore" directory
Make a list discoverable and let new resellers ask to join, instead of prospecting one phone number at a time.
Availability requests
A reseller asks whether a product is in stock in one tap; the request is tracked, notified and findable, instead of vanishing into a chat.
Broadcast analytics
Number of posts, average cost, per-list history: enough to know what actually reaches your resellers and what it costs you.
Passwordless sign-in
A one-time code by SMS or email is all it takes. Nothing to memorise, nothing to reset.
Mobile and web
Post from your phone while you are out, manage your shop and lists from a computer at the office.
Two profiles, one app
Revendeurs has two account types: the Supplier, who broadcasts, and the Reseller, who receives. Sign-up is free for both.
You are a supplier or wholesaler
Broadcast your catalog and stay in control of your network.
- Create your shop and your broadcast lists
- Invite resellers by link, by code or through the public directory
- Publish products to every active member, with no ceiling
- Track your analytics and your availability requests
- Work from mobile or from the web dashboard
You are a reseller
Get every new product from your suppliers without missing one.
- Join as many lists as you want, for free
- Get a notification on every new product
- Browse shops and public lists in "Explore"
- Ask whether a product is available in one tap
- Go back through the post history whenever you need it
Usage-based pricing, not a plan tied to contact count
Publishing runs on credits: 1 credit broadcasts a product to 1 active reseller on a list. You only pay for what you actually broadcast, and nothing stops a list from growing.
Free sign-up
Creating an account, a shop and a first list costs nothing. Bonus credits come with sign-up so you can run a real broadcast before paying.
1 credit = 1 reseller reached
A post to a list of 40 active resellers uses 40 credits. Cost follows your real audience, not a subscription tier.
Top up whenever
Buy credit packs from the app when your balance runs low. No commitment, no forced auto-renewal.
Free for resellers
Joining lists, receiving posts and asking about a product uses no credits at all on the reseller side.
Credit pack contents and prices are shown in the app, in the Credits section.
Frequently asked questions
The questions suppliers moving off WhatsApp broadcast lists ask most often.
What is the limit of a WhatsApp broadcast list?
A WhatsApp broadcast list takes roughly 256 recipients at most. A less known but more damaging constraint comes on top: the message is only delivered to people who already saved your number in their contacts. Past that ceiling you have to create several lists and keep them up to date by hand, one number at a time.
What is the best WhatsApp broadcast list alternative for a supplier?
Revendeurs is an app built specifically for this job: a supplier broadcasts their catalog to a reseller network with no fixed recipient cap per list, and every reseller who joined the list receives the posts, whether or not they saved the supplier’s number. On top of that come a presentable shop, broadcast analytics and availability-request tracking, none of which a messaging app provides.
How can I manage my resellers online without WhatsApp?
With Revendeurs, a supplier creates a shop, builds one or more broadcast lists, invites resellers by link or invite code (or lets them find the list in the public "Explore" directory), publishes products and tracks analytics from a single place. Everything is available from the mobile app and from the supplier web dashboard.
Is the Revendeurs app free?
Sign-up is free and comes with bonus credits to try the app. Publishing then runs on credits: 1 credit broadcasts a post to 1 active reseller on a list. For a reseller, use is entirely free — joining lists and receiving posts costs nothing.
How many resellers can a list hold?
There is no fixed ceiling comparable to WhatsApp’s 256 contacts, so a list can go well past several hundred resellers. The only thing that scales with list size is the number of credits a post consumes, since one credit corresponds to one reseller reached.
Do my resellers need to save my number to receive my posts?
No, and that is the essential difference from a WhatsApp broadcast list. As soon as a reseller has joined your list in the app, they receive your posts and a notification, regardless of their address book.
Who is Revendeurs for?
Two profiles. The Supplier — wholesaler, importer, workshop, bulk shop — creates a shop and broadcast lists to publish products. The Reseller joins one or more lists to receive new products and ask whether an item is available. The app is available in French and English.
Which platforms is Revendeurs available on?
The mobile app is available on Android through the Google Play Store and on iPhone through the App Store. Suppliers also get a web dashboard in any browser, at revendeurs.app, to manage their shop, lists and products from a computer.
How do you sign in to the app?
Without a password. You enter your phone number or email address and receive a one-time code by SMS or email to confirm the sign-in.
Can I create several separate broadcast lists?
Yes. A supplier can create as many lists as needed — by product range, region, price tier or reseller type — and publish a product to the relevant list only, without duplicating the message.
