For Chicago, Illinois teams, M2B Dealer Portal for Manufacturers work should connect dealer ordering, account pricing, catalog data, inventory visibility, and ERP order flow without creating duplicate cleanup work.
Metrotechs helps Chicago, Illinois manufacturers and distributors plan M2B Dealer Portal for Manufacturers work that reduce manual order entry, expose account-specific pricing, connect order workflows to ERP, and give dealers or buyers better visibility into catalogs, inventory, order status, and fulfillment updates.
The work is organized around records, handoffs, controls, and launch sequencing so the service plan can move from diagnosis into a governed implementation path.
These are the failure modes the page is built around: disconnected records, unclear ownership, fragile handoffs, and decisions made before the data is ready.
Dealers email or fax POs that get manually rekeyed into the ERP -- 15 minutes per order
Contract pricing lookups done manually from spreadsheets, leading to margin leakage
No real-time inventory visibility -- dealers call to check stock before placing orders
Account management (invoices, returns, credits) handled through back-and-forth emails
