B2B commerce platforms where the website is the order desk — integrated with the ERP, the PIM, the pricing engine, and the customer's actual buying workflow.
The kinds of platforms organizations in this sector actually need — not generic agency offerings.
Account-specific pricing, payment terms, shipping accounts, approved-buyer logic — the things B2B customers expect and B2C platforms don't handle.
Product, inventory, pricing, and lead time data flowing from the ERP into the storefront in real time. No spreadsheet round-trip.
Quote requests, multi-step approvals, and conversion to purchase order — handled in the portal, not in a side-channel of emails.
Customers reorder from history, set up scheduled deliveries, and manage their team's buyers. The workflow built around how B2B actually buys.
We’ve done the integration patterns and we know which APIs are reliable, which docs lie, and where the production gotchas live.
An industrial distributor rebuilt their B2B commerce platform with deep NetSuite integration, account-specific pricing, and a customer portal that replaced phone-and-fax ordering.
A B2B referral network rebuilt their partner platform with role-aware access, automated attribution, and integrations with the CRMs partners actually use.
The Yab services that tend to be load-bearing in this sector. Usually two or three at a time.
Depends on how custom your buying workflow is. Shopify Plus and BigCommerce B2B Edition handle a lot of standard B2B now — account pricing, quoting, NetSuite integration. When the buying workflow gets non-standard (multi-level approvals, complex configuration, deep ERP coupling), custom often wins. We help clients pick honestly, including saying 'use Shopify' when that's right.
Yes — all three are common in our work. We use the official APIs where possible and have implemented every common pattern: real-time pricing, inventory sync, order push, customer master, and AR/AP reconciliation.
Pricing logic stays in the ERP or PIM where it belongs; the storefront fetches it per-account on render. We cache aggressively where the rules allow and read live where they don't. Net result is correct prices without hammering the ERP.
Yes. EDI is one more integration pattern — we've implemented EDI 850, 855, 856, 810 with both VAN and AS2 transports. It's not glamorous but it works.
