B2B e-commerce for construction suppliers
Make Complex Construction Supply Orders Easier to Quote, Approve, and Reorder
Build a B2B storefront for contractor accounts, customer-specific pricing, quote requests, bulk quantities, purchase orders, inventory visibility, and connected ERP or CRM workflows.
A standard online store does not match the way contractors buy supplies
Construction supply orders often involve account terms, negotiated pricing, large quantities, availability questions, purchase orders, repeat lists, and internal approval—not a simple retail checkout.
Pricing is account-specific
Contractors, dealers, and project accounts may have different price lists, discounts, terms, tax status, or product access.
Large orders need a quote
Freight, availability, lead times, substitutions, and project scope can require review before a final price is confirmed.
Purchase orders happen offline
Customers email or call in POs because the storefront cannot capture references, documents, approvals, or payment terms.
Reordering wastes time
Frequent buyers rebuild familiar material lists from scratch or contact a representative for routine repeat purchases.
The solution
A self-service account portal connected to your sales operation
We design the buying experience around how your B2B customers actually order. Approved users can access relevant catalogs and pricing, build bulk orders, request quotes, submit purchase-order details, and return to saved or past orders. Behind the storefront, supported ERP, inventory, CRM, accounting, and sales workflows keep customer and order data moving to the right team.

Request-a-quote workflows
Let buyers assemble a cart, provide project details, request review, receive revisions, and convert an approved quote to an order.
Bulk ordering and quick entry
Support SKU entry, quantity tables, product lists, saved carts, and other efficient ordering patterns.
Purchase orders and terms
Capture PO numbers or documents and route eligible account orders according to agreed payment and approval rules.
Inventory and order integration

Our process
A B2B commerce build grounded in account and order rules
1. Buyer and workflow discovery
We map customer types, catalogs, pricing logic, quote scenarios, approvals, payment terms, locations, and reorder behavior.
2. Data and system design
We define sources of truth, account identifiers, product and price mappings, inventory rules, and integration responsibilities.
3. Portal and storefront build
We create account registration, catalog access, pricing, quote, bulk-order, PO, reorder, and support experiences.
4. ERP and CRM integration
We connect supported systems using APIs, webhooks, feeds, or validated imports with logging and exception handling.
5. Account testing and rollout
We test representative customer types and order paths, train internal users, and launch in controlled phases when appropriate.
Business outcomes
The goal is a more dependable operation—not automation for automation’s sake.
Easier repeat purchasing
Approved customers can find account products and rebuild common orders with less back-and-forth.
More organized quote intake
Sales receives structured products, quantities, account data, and project context instead of incomplete requests.
Consistent account rules
Catalog access, pricing, terms, and ordering options follow defined customer data and permissions.
Connected order information
Supported quote, order, inventory, and customer data moves between commerce and back-office workflows.
Platforms and integrations
B2B integration depends heavily on customer identifiers, pricing rules, inventory logic, and the capabilities of your ERP or accounting platform. We validate those details before implementation.
Commerce platforms
WooCommerce and Shopify B2B capabilities, custom account portals, payment gateways, and shipping or freight tools.
ERP and inventory
Zoho Inventory and other supported ERP, inventory, warehouse, accounting, or product-data systems.
CRM and quoting
Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce, sales-assignment rules, quote approvals, and customer communication.
Procurement and data exchange
Purchase-order uploads, structured imports/exports, APIs, webhooks, EDI-adjacent workflows, and middleware where appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before we start
Can each customer see different pricing?
Yes, when pricing rules and account identifiers are available in a reliable source. We design how price lists, discounts, tiers, or negotiated prices reach the storefront.
Can buyers request a quote instead of checking out?
Yes. Quote requests can include products, quantities, project details, documents, and account information, then move through review and revision.
Can the portal accept purchase orders?
It can capture PO numbers or files and apply eligibility rules. The final order and payment-term workflow depends on your accounting, ERP, and approval process.
Can customers reorder previous purchases?
Yes. Reorder tools can use past storefront orders, saved lists, or connected order history when the integration provides the required data.
Do we need to put the entire catalog online at once?
No. Many suppliers benefit from a phased launch by customer group, location, category, or workflow while integrations and data are validated.
