Dealer & Distributor Portals
Give dealers, distributors, and customer accounts the right access, ordering paths, approvals, account groups, and operating rules.
Your commerce system has to support the way your manufacturing business sells to other businesses.
If dealers need account pricing, buyers need repeat ordering, operations needs accurate inventory, and customer service needs fewer manual touches, the system has to be built around more than checkout.
M2B Commerce starts with the Manufacturer-to-Business system behind the website: price logic, catalog access, ERP ownership, fulfillment rules, and the manual steps that currently keep customer or dealer orders moving. Then the development plan can match the real workflow.
Inventory truth
Dealer pricing lives outside the website
Inventory does not match what customers or dealers see
Orders need manual cleanup before fulfillment
Customer service becomes the integration layer
Sales loses visibility after the quote
The website does not match the real order workflow
Build B2B commerce infrastructure around the complete business-buying workflow.
M2B Commerce helps you plan dealer rules, account-based buying, operational system truth, and fulfillment visibility before the build gets expensive.
Account-Based Pricing
Bring your customer-specific pricing, contract terms, discounts, quote rules, and controls into the ordering path.
Customer-Specific Catalogs
Show buyers the right catalog views by account, region, part access, equipment fit, and repeat-order behavior.
Quote-to-Order Workflows
Workflows that turn quote requests, approvals, payment terms, and order details into cleaner downstream orders.
Reviewed Quote Intake
Structure emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, RFQs, and quote requests while keeping review, source evidence, and order quality under control.
ERP/CRM/Inventory Integrations
Plan the connections between the systems that hold your account, inventory, pricing, quote, and order truth.
Fulfillment & Shipping Visibility
Expose order status, allocation, pick-pack-ship visibility, and reporting your buyers and teams can trust.

Decode the ERP, PIM, CPQ, EDI, portal, fulfillment, intake, and customer-account terms that shape your project.
View pageReviewed Intake Workflows
Use intake automation only where it supports quote and order workflows.
RFQ intake, document extraction, product matching, missing-data detection, and customer-service summaries can help when they are grounded in your product, account, price, and order data.
The important question is where intake assistance can safely reduce manual interpretation, what source data it can use, and which decisions still need human review before they affect quotes, orders, ERP, or buyer commitments.
Intake workflow planning
Reviewed intake
Turn buyer emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, RFQs, and attachments into structured draft fields your team can review before quote or order action.
Product and account grounding
Connect intake suggestions to PIM, ERP, CRM, account catalogs, customer part numbers, pricing rules, and availability signals.
Human review and governance
Set confidence thresholds, exception queues, audit trails, privacy rules, and approval paths before intake suggestions reach quotes or orders.
System Reality
Your Manufacturer-to-Business project has to include the work happening behind the screen.
A buyer experience is only trustworthy when the operating rules behind it are understood. Your site should make ordering easier without creating hidden cleanup work for sales, service, finance, and fulfillment teams.
The website is rarely the only system involved
Your dealer ordering workflow often touches ERP, CRM, inventory, accounting, tax, shipping, payment terms, sales approvals, and warehouse work. Treating the site as an isolated build is how the same manual work reappears after launch.
B2B buyers need speed without losing rules
Your repeat commercial buyers should be able to reorder quickly, but the system still has to respect account pricing, product eligibility, minimums, substitutions, approvals, freight realities, and credit terms.
Internal teams need fewer exception paths
Your customer service, sales, finance, and warehouse teams should not have to interpret every customer or dealer order. The commerce workflow should collect enough clean data for downstream systems and people to trust it.
Intake automation needs workflow boundaries
RFQ, email, spreadsheet, and support-request automation should not create risky buyer promises without product truth, confidence thresholds, human review, and audit history.
Roadmap work prevents platform churn
You can avoid buying plugins, redesigning the frontend, or starting a replatform before the true workflow problem is named. M2B Commerce starts by making the system visible.
Order-to-door workflow
Connect the full path from customer or dealer demand to delivery.
Before development starts, you should know who places the order, where pricing is confirmed, what system owns inventory, and how fulfillment status gets back to the customer or dealer.

The platform matters. Your Manufacturer-to-Business workflow matters more.
M2B Commerce evaluates your current stack and designs the right path. We do not assume every platform supports your manufacturer workflow out of the box.

Architecture Layers
M2B Commerce maps the layers that have to work together.
Your roadmap should connect buyer experience, commercial rules, operational system truth, and implementation sequencing. That gives leadership a practical path before investing in a rebuild or platform change.
Buyer experience
Dealer login, customer account systems, account-specific catalogs, repeat ordering, quote requests, saved lists, order history, and self-service status for your buyers.
Commercial rules
Your account tiers, negotiated pricing, tax and freight considerations, payment terms, approvals, minimums, and territory or channel restrictions.
Operational truth
Your ERP ownership, product data, inventory availability, order handoff, fulfillment status, shipping events, and reporting feedback.
Reviewed intake work
Where RFQs, emails, attachments, and support requests can be structured safely, and where your team should keep review and approval in the loop.
Implementation path
What you should keep, replace, integrate, or phase, and which risks must be handled before development spend accelerates.
Start with a roadmap before you rebuild the ordering system.
Before you replace a website, buy another plugin, or rebuild a dealer portal, M2B Commerce maps your real manufacturer-to-business ordering workflow, identifies system gaps, and creates a practical modernization roadmap.
