The situation
Orders still arrive by email, phone and spreadsheet. Your sales team re-keys them into the ERP, pricing lives in people's heads, and buyers ask why they can't just reorder online.
Who it’s for
- 01Manufacturers and distributors selling to trade accounts
- 02Businesses with contract, tiered or customer-specific pricing
- 03Teams where the ERP is the system of record
Risks we remove
What usually goes wrong on this kind of project, and the fix we put in place for each.
Risk 01
Wrong prices shown to buyers
How we remove it. Pricing read from the ERP as the single source of truth, with automated checks per account.
Risk 02
Low portal adoption
How we remove it. Quick order, CSV upload and reorder built around how your buyers already work.
Risk 03
Sync failures
How we remove it. Queued, retried integrations with alerts before a buyer notices.
How we approach it
Each phase ends with something you can review before the next one starts.

Connect

Questions we’re asked
Can buyers see their own negotiated prices?
Yes. Prices are resolved per company account, including tiers, contracts and volume breaks.
Which ERPs can you connect?
We integrate through the ERP's API or middleware. Tell us your system in the review and we'll say plainly whether we've connected it before.
Who owns the code?
You do. Repositories live in your organisation from the first commit, and every licence, credential and deployment is in your name.
Do you sign an NDA before we share details?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any discovery call where you share architecture, data or commercial details.
Book an architecture review
A 60-minute session with a senior architect. We review your current platform, integrations and growth plans, then send a written summary of risks and options.
