A B2B ecommerce platform is only as good as the data flowing through it. Disconnected pricing, stale inventory, and manual order re-entry destroy the ROI of any storefront investment. We build the integration layer that makes your B2B ecommerce platform operationally reliable. Chicago is the industrial backbone of the Midwest with unmatched supply chain connectivity. Businesses like Caterpillar, Abbott, John Deere operate complex wholesale and distribution channels — tiered pricing, net terms, multi-location accounts, and ERP-connected order management that consumer checkout flows were never designed to handle. Chicago-area Industrial Equipment, Food & Beverage, Chemicals businesses are replacing manual order processes with B2B ecommerce platforms built for how their buyers actually operate.
Chicago manufacturers and distributors who deploy proper B2B ecommerce — account-specific pricing, self-service order management, and real-time ERP sync — are compressing their sales cycles and shifting rep time from order entry to account growth.
Bidirectional sync between your storefront and ERP for orders, inventory, pricing, and customer data. Orders placed online post directly to your ERP — no manual entry, no fulfillment lag.
Live ATP (Available-to-Promise) logic that reflects warehouse stock, committed inventory, and inbound purchase orders. Buyers see accurate availability before they order.
Pull contract pricing, volume tiers, and promotional rates from your ERP or CPQ system at buyer login. Pricing in your storefront always matches your system of record.
Orders routed automatically to the correct warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment location based on inventory position and shipping rules. Pick tickets generate without manual routing decisions.
Customer accounts, contacts, credit terms, and purchase history synchronized between your storefront and CRM. Sales reps see storefront activity alongside their CRM pipeline.
Handle EDI 850/855/856/810 transactions for customers and suppliers who require electronic data interchange. Map EDI to your storefront and ERP without manual translation.
Map your current system landscape — ERP, WMS, CRM, pricing engine, EDI, shipping carriers. Identify every data flow that touches a B2B transaction and where it breaks down today.
Define source-of-truth for each data domain: inventory, pricing, customer, orders. Document transformation rules, sync frequency, and error-handling behavior before any code is written.
Select integration approach — direct API, middleware (MuleSoft, n8n, custom), or hybrid — based on system capabilities and data volume. Design for reliability and observability, not just connectivity.
Build integrations in phases: read flows first, then write flows. Test against real transaction data, edge cases, and failure scenarios before connecting to production systems.
Deploy with integration monitoring, alerting, and logging. Ongoing support for data discrepancies, API changes, and new integration requirements as your operation evolves.

We integrate with SAP (S/4HANA, Business One), Oracle (EBS, NetSuite), Microsoft Dynamics (365, Business Central, GP), Epicor (Kinetic, Prophet 21), Infor (CloudSuite, M3), Sage (X3, 300, 100), and custom ERP environments. Integration approach depends on available APIs and data model.
We build pricing integration to pull the calculated price from your ERP at the point of need — not to replicate pricing logic in the storefront. Your ERP remains the pricing engine; the storefront is the display layer. This avoids logic duplication and keeps pricing consistent.
We design for failure. Every integration includes error handling, retry logic, alerting, and fallback behavior. If the ERP connection drops, buyers see a graceful message rather than wrong prices. We also provide monitoring dashboards and response SLAs for integration incidents.
Yes. We handle EDI 850 (purchase orders), 855 (order acknowledgments), 856 (advance ship notices), and 810 (invoices) for customers who require EDI. We also handle AS2 and SFTP transport and can map to legacy EDI formats for existing trading partner requirements.
M2B Commerce starts with the operational architecture: real-time pricing from ERP, governed product data from PIM, configuration rules from CPQ, live ATP from WMS, and order flow into OMS and MES. The portal sits on top of that industrial foundation.
Your dealers order by email, phone, and fax because the current system cannot handle the real workflow. We build M2B ordering portals that are easier than calling your CSR team while still honoring contract pricing, product rules, ATP, account status, and ERP order governance.
Your pricing is complex — customer-specific contracts, tier-based discounts, volume breaks, promotional pricing, and special quotes. We build a pricing engine that pulls from your ERP in real time and presents the right price to the right customer automatically.
Your CSR team spends hours answering routine inquiries — invoice copies, order status, credit balances, return requests. We build self-service account management that lets dealers handle all of this themselves, 24/7, without a phone call.
Your dealer portal generates data that most manufacturers ignore — who's ordering, what they're searching for, where they abandon carts, and which dealers are growing vs. declining. We turn that data into dashboards that drive revenue decisions.

A dealer portal is only as good as its ERP integration. We build bi-directional, real-time connections between your M2B portal and your ERP -- orders flow in, pricing flows out, inventory stays current, and invoices are always accurate. No batch files. No stale data.
Every PO confirmation, ASN, lead time update, and quality document that moves between you and your suppliers by email is a delay and an error risk. A supplier portal gives your vendors self-service access to manage their transactions \u2014 and gives your procurement team visibility without chasing updates.
Consumer checkout flows don't work for B2B. Business buyers need account-specific pricing, net terms, approval workflows, and real-time stock. We build B2B ecommerce platforms that handle the complexity of business purchasing without forcing buyers through consumer UX.
Wholesale buyers don't browse — they reorder. A wholesale platform that handles tiered pricing, minimum order quantities, and bulk entry converts more reorder volume than any catalog-first storefront. We build wholesale commerce around the way distributors actually operate.
