Industrial Distributors

Your lines, your stock, your customers’ prices.

The short version

Distributors sell other people’s products with their own service. The site should make the lines you carry easy to browse and the account experience the reason to buy from you.

§ 1

What’s broken

  • Manufacturer data is pasted in inconsistently.
  • Customers can’t see their negotiated pricing without calling.
  • Branch stock and pickup aren’t visible online.
§ 2

What we build

  • Line card and catalog systems Manufacturer feeds normalised into one browseable catalog.
  • Account pricing and terms Shopify B2B with price lists, net terms and approvals.
  • Branch inventory and pickup Stock by location, will-call and delivery routing.
§ 3

Three things you could walk away with

  1. A distributor B2B store on Shopify Catalog, account pricing, quick order, branch pickup.
  2. A line card microsite Brands, categories and territory contacts, fast to update.
  3. A punchout or ERP integration Connect the storefront to the systems you already run.
