# Metrotechs

> Metrotechs leads M2B (Manufacturer-to-Business) commerce for Texas mid-market manufacturers ($10M-$100M). We build ERP-integrated dealer portals, unified commerce platforms, and order-to-door solutions for industrial manufacturers.

## Overview

Metrotechs is a Dallas-Fort Worth B2B commerce agency specializing in M2B commerce systems. M2B is a subset of B2B where manufacturers sell direct to dealers, distributors, resellers, contractors, and other business buyers.

We lead order-to-door outcomes by planning the roadmap, defining sources of truth, selecting platforms and partners (vendor-neutral), leading delivery, and validating that orders flow from portal to shipment confirmation.

We are not IT. We are not a marketing agency. We are not a web design firm. We lead manufacturing commerce systems.

## What M2B Means
M2B is B2B commerce built around manufacturing reality:
- Complex pricing: tier pricing, contract pricing, terms, credit, tax exemption
- Product complexity: variants, compatibility, kits, BOM-driven options
- Inventory truth: ATP, lead times, allocations, backorders, split shipments
- ERP-driven operations: ERP as source of truth with WMS/3PL and PIM support
- Quote-to-order workflows: RFQ, negotiated orders, CPQ-like flows when needed

Core idea: A manufacturer commerce system is not "a store." It is a workflow engine that turns demand into shippable orders.

## Location and Service Area
- Headquarters: Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
- Primary service area: Texas Triangle (DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston)
- On-site: Available for facility visits across Texas
- Remote: Available nationwide for specific engagements

## What We Do
