What our e-commerce platforms provide
Advanced Custom Pricing
We offer custom pricing options which are essential in B2B e-commerce, as businesses often need to negotiate bespoke deals. Our platforms support tiered pricing, customer-specific pricing, and volume based discounts.
Bulk Ordering & Reordering
B2B buyers frequently purchase large quantities. The platform should simplify bulk ordering with tools like CSV import and one-click reordering of past purchases.
Self-Service Portals
Give customers control over their orders, payment history, and invoices with dedicated self-service portals. This reduces the burden on customer support teams.
Integration Capabilities
Ensure seamless integration with ERP, CRM, and third-party logistics (3PL) software. This connectivity allows for real-time inventory management and order tracking.
Quote Management
Enable buyers to request quotes for custom orders directly through the platform. Sales teams can review, adjust, and approve quotes in a centralised system.
Secure Payment Options
B2B e-commerce platforms must support multiple payment methods, including credit cards, invoices, and purchase orders. Security features like PCI compliance are non-negotiable.
