Worked with

Problems we solve

Are your dealers and customers still ordering by phone, email and WhatsApp?

B2B orders arrive through every channel, and your sales office spends its day typing them in and answering the same questions.

  1. 01

    Orders typed in by hand

    Phone, email and WhatsApp orders are re-entered into your system, and mistakes reach the dispatch floor.

  2. 02

    The same questions all day

    Dealers call to ask about prices, stock, schemes and dispatch status.

  3. 03

    Pricing errors

    Dealer-specific price lists and schemes are applied manually, and margins leak.

  4. 04

    Documents scattered

    Invoices, catalogues, certificates and statements are emailed again and again on request.

Our solution

A self-service portal for every business customer

Each dealer, distributor or customer logs in to their own portal, sees their own prices and history, and places orders that flow straight into your systems.

  • Built around your trade terms

    Price tiers, schemes, minimum quantities, credit limits and approval rules modelled exactly as you sell.

  • Connected to your back office

    Orders, stock, invoices and dispatch synchronised with your ERP, CRM or accounting software.

  • Simple enough for every dealer

    Fast, mobile-friendly screens so dealers order from their phone, in seconds.

Guide

B2B portal development: a practical guide

What is a B2B portal?

A B2B portal is a secure website where business customers, such as dealers, distributors, retailers or contractors, log in to order, see their prices and stock, download documents and track deliveries.

Unlike a consumer store, a B2B portal handles account-specific pricing, credit terms, bulk orders and approvals.

Features every dealer portal needs

At minimum: secure login per account, the dealer's own price list and schemes, product search, fast ordering and reordering, order status and dispatch tracking, invoices and statements.

Many businesses add stock visibility, credit limits, returns, marketing material downloads and multiple users per dealer account.

Integrating with ERP and accounting

A portal is only useful if its data is accurate. Prices, stock and customer details usually come from the ERP; orders go back into it; invoices and statements come from accounting.

Decide what syncs in real time and what syncs on a schedule, and set up alerts when a sync fails.

Getting dealers to use the portal

Start with a pilot group of dealers, keep ordering as simple as possible, and make the portal the fastest way to get information they currently call for.

Sales teams should promote it, and some businesses offer small benefits for portal orders during roll-out.

Dealer portal, customer portal or supplier portal?

A dealer or distributor portal lets your channel partners order against their own price lists, see stock, track dispatches and check their ledger. A customer portal does the same for direct business customers, often with quotations, contracts and service requests. A supplier portal works the other way, letting vendors see purchase orders, confirm delivery dates and upload invoices.

Many businesses start with one portal and add others later on the same foundation, sharing user management, documents and integration with the ERP.

Pricing, schemes and catalogue complexity

B2B pricing is rarely a single price list. Dealer categories, regional prices, quantity slabs, schemes and customer-specific rates all need to be modelled clearly, so each user always sees the right price and orders don't need manual correction.

Large catalogues need good search, filters by specification, product documents and alternative or related items. For technical products, a clear product page with drawings and data sheets reduces the questions your sales team answers by phone.

Security and access control

Every portal user should see only their own prices, orders, invoices and documents. Role-based access lets a dealer's owner, purchase staff and accounts staff each have the access they need.

Use secure logins, log important actions such as order changes, and make it easy to disable access when a dealer relationship ends or a staff member leaves.

Measuring the portal's success

Useful measures include the share of orders placed through the portal, the time from order to confirmation, the number of status calls to your sales office, order errors and dealer activity by region.

Review these with your sales team regularly. Low usage in a region usually points to a training gap or a missing feature that dealers need.

What affects the cost of a B2B portal

Costs depend on pricing and scheme complexity, number of user types, integrations with ERP, CRM and accounting, mobile needs, data migration and support.

We don't publish fixed prices or packages. After a scoping call, we send a written proposal with a customised quotation.

Before you talk to us

Frequently asked questions

What is a B2B portal?

A secure website where business customers log in to order, see their prices and stock, download documents and track deliveries.

Can each dealer see different prices?

Yes. Price lists, tiers, schemes and discounts can be set per dealer, region or category.

Can the portal connect to our ERP?

Yes. Prices, stock, orders, invoices and statements can be synchronised with your ERP and accounting software through their integration options.

Can dealers order from their phones?

Yes. Portals are mobile-friendly, and can be installable as progressive web apps.

Can we control credit limits?

Yes. Orders can be checked against credit limits and routed for approval when needed.

Do you build supplier portals too?

Yes. Suppliers can receive purchase orders, confirm deliveries, upload invoices and see payment status.

Can you also build our B2B website?

Yes. We build B2B websites with technical catalogues and RFQ forms connected to your CRM.

Is a B2B portal the same as a dealer management system?

A B2B portal is the screen your dealers or customers use. A dealer management system is wider, covering schemes, claims, secondary sales and your field team, and usually includes a portal.

Can dealers download invoices and documents?

Yes. Invoices, ledgers, price lists, catalogues and certificates can be available for download.

Can the portal show live stock?

Yes, where your ERP or inventory system can share stock levels. Stock can be shown exactly or as availability bands.

How much does B2B portal development cost?

It depends on pricing complexity, integrations, user types and support. We do not publish fixed prices; share your requirements and we will send a customised quotation.
