The Problem

Your Dealers Call Because They Can't See What Your ERP Knows

It shows up once you sell through more dealers than your customer service team can answer by phone. Every status, price, and invoice question waits on a person.

  1. Status calls

    Dealers phone your team to ask where their order is.

    Status calls

    Dealers see order, shipment, and tracking status without picking up the phone.

  2. Wrong prices

    Reps quote from an old price sheet, and invoices disagree.

    Wrong prices

    Each account sees the contract price it will actually be invoiced.

  3. Retyped orders

    Emailed purchase orders get retyped into the ERP, typos included.

    Retyped orders

    Portal orders post to your ERP as sales orders, with nothing retyped.

  4. Lost documents

    Certificates and drawings get emailed again for every audit.

    Lost documents

    Spec sheets, certificates, and drawings sit on each order for download.

Monday morning, your customer service inbox is full again. A dealer wants to know if their order shipped. Another needs last month's invoice resent. A third asks for the certificate of conformance on a lot you shipped in spring. Your reps answer each one by opening the ERP, copying a number, and replying. Meanwhile a distributor emails a purchase order as a PDF, and someone retypes it line by line, with the wrong price on one part. Your team is busy all day, and none of it grows sales.

We start by sorting those emails by question, then build a manufacturing B2B portal that answers the common ones before anyone asks. Each dealer logs in and sees their own orders, shipments, prices, invoices, and documents, read straight from your ERP. Reorders and quote requests post back as sales orders, so nobody retypes a PDF. Your team handles exceptions instead of copy and paste.

  • Order status without a call

    Your open orders, shipments, and tracking numbers appear for each account, refreshed through the day.

  • Their price, not the list price

    Contract prices, price lists, and quantity breaks come from your ERP, so the portal matches invoices.

  • Documents on every order

    Spec sheets, manuals, certificates, and invoices attach to each order for self-serve download.

Our B2B Portal for Manufacturers Process

From Inbox Full of Questions to Self-Serve Dealers in Five Steps

You approve the dealer roles, screens, and pricing rules before we build. Then a few friendly dealers try the portal on live orders before everyone gets a login.

  1. We read a month of dealer emails and call notes with your customer service lead and sort them by question: status, price, invoice, or document. You get a ranked list and our honest view on whether your ERP's own portal covers it.

Projects We've Built

Ecommerce, invoicing, and portal projects we have built. None is a manufacturer's dealer portal, but they share its catalogs, accounts, and order screens.

What's Included

What You Get With a B2B Portal for Manufacturers

Dealer accounts, order tracking, contract pricing, reorders, quotes, and documents, all read from or posted to your ERP, then handed over with the code and documentation.

  • Dealer and distributor accounts

    Company logins with roles, parent and branch accounts, and sub-dealer users, each seeing only their own data.

  • Order and shipment tracking

    Open orders, partial shipments, and carrier tracking pulled from the ERP so dealers see what your team sees.

  • Customer-specific pricing

    Contract prices, price lists, and quantity breaks shown per account, matching what your ERP will invoice.

  • Reorders and quote requests

    Reorders from order history and saved lists, plus quote requests for made-to-order or configured parts.

  • Invoices and documents

    Invoices, statements, certificates of conformance, and drawings attached to each account and order.

  • Testing, rollout, and handover

    We pilot with friendly dealers, train your team, and hand over the code, documentation, and accounts.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built internal dashboards and business software for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Manufacturers Trust Us With Their Dealer Accounts

A dealer portal works only when accounts trust what it shows. These habits keep your portal's prices, orders, and permissions right from the first login.

  • We read your support inbox

    We start from the questions dealers actually send your team, not a feature list. The most-asked question gets the first screen.

  • Your ERP keeps the numbers

    Prices, stock, and order status stay in the ERP, and the portal reads them. One source means invoices and portal prices agree.

  • Each dealer sees only theirs

    Account-level permissions keep one dealer's prices and orders hidden from another. We test that wall with real accounts before rollout.

  • Honest about add-ons

    If your ERP's portal add-on or your store's B2B features cover your accounts, we'll tell you before we quote. We'd rather lose the project than sell you a duplicate system.

  • A price before any code

    You get one fixed price and a written scope before development starts. New features later get their own quote, so finance isn't surprised.

  • Your portal, your code

    The code, the database, and the hosting account sit in your company's name. Your IT team can extend the portal or move it later.

Good fit

  • Manufacturers whose service team answers status calls

    Your customer service team spends mornings answering where's my order and resending invoices, to the same dealers, week after week.

  • Manufacturers selling through dealer networks

    You sell through dealers and sub-dealers across many territories, and each one emails orders in a different format that someone retypes.

  • Plants with contract pricing in the ERP

    Your price lists and contract prices live in NetSuite or SAP Business One, and your biggest accounts buy through SAP Ariba or Coupa.

  • Distributors carrying a manufacturer's lines

    You want white-labeled ordering under your own brand, with the manufacturer's stock and lead times shown live to your buyers.

  • Agencies and ERP partners

    Your firm runs a manufacturer's Odoo or Dynamics 365 Business Central rollout, and the client now wants B2B portal software for manufacturing companies on top.

Not a fit

  • Budget under $1,350

    You have a handful of accounts who order by email now and then. A shared order form and a weekly status email cost far less than a portal.

  • Want a catalog ordering site

    Your trade buyers mainly browse a catalog and check out with a card. Our Wholesale Ordering Portal Development service fits that better.

  • Need a public B2B store

    You want a public B2B storefront with SEO, company accounts, and checkout. Our B2B Ecommerce Website Development service builds that.

  • Sales pipeline is the gap

    Your problem is tracking dealer leads, quotes, and rep visits, not orders after they're placed. Our Manufacturing CRM Setup service fits that first.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines, what a B2B portal is, dealer networks, ERP pricing, and PunchOut.

  • A manufacturing B2B portal starts at $1,350 for order status, invoices, and documents read from your ERP. A dealer ordering portal with customer-specific prices, reorders, and quote requests starts at $4,000, and white-labeled portals for a dealer network start at $7,900. You get a fixed quote after a free review of your account questions.

  • An order status portal takes 4 to 6 weeks, and ordering or white-label portals take 8 to 16 weeks. Most of that time goes to the ERP side: matching customer numbers, price lists, and ship-to addresses. A pilot with a few friendly dealers comes before the full rollout, so their feedback shapes the screens.

  • A B2B portal is a private website where business customers log in to see their own account: orders, prices, invoices, and documents. Unlike a public store, each login shows only that company's data and terms. For a manufacturer, it replaces many of the calls and emails your customer service team answers all day.

  • In business terms, a B2B portal is a self-service channel that moves routine account questions off people and onto a screen. Your reps stop relaying order status, accounts receivable stops resending invoices, and dealers reorder without waiting for a callback. You judge it by fewer calls and faster orders, not page views.

  • You add company accounts, price lists, and login rules to your store, or you build a separate portal tied to your ERP. Store platforms such as BigCommerce and Shopify offer B2B features that cover simpler catalogs. Manufacturers with contract pricing, made-to-order parts, and dealer tiers usually need the ERP-backed route.

  • Choose one by testing your account structure first: parent companies, branches, sub-dealers, and territories. Then check pricing rules, user roles per dealer, and how orders reach your ERP. A portal that can't model your dealer hierarchy forces reps to work around it, and dealers drift back to the phone.

  • B2B customer portal solutions for manufacturing companies usually include order and shipment status, invoices, customer-specific prices, reorders, and document downloads. Manufacturers add items consumer stores lack: quote requests for made-to-order parts, certificates of conformance, and drawing revisions. We build the parts your accounts ask about most.

  • Yes. We read customer-specific price lists, contract prices, and quantity breaks from your ERP, so each account sees the price your ERP will invoice. NetSuite, SAP Business One, Odoo, and Dynamics 365 Business Central all expose pricing through their APIs. Prices stay in the ERP, so your pricing team keeps one source.

  • Large buyers often do, because their procurement teams buy through systems such as SAP Ariba or Coupa. With cXML PunchOut, a buyer opens your portal from inside their procurement tool, fills a cart at their contract prices, and sends it back for approval. The approved purchase order then reaches your portal or ERP.

  • White-labeled B2B portals for manufacturers and distributors let each distributor show your catalog, prices, and order tracking under its own brand. You run one platform, and every distributor gets its own logo, domain, and users. It suits manufacturers who sell through partners but still want orders and data in one system.
