B2B ordering portal vs B2B ecommerce
B2B ordering portal vs B2B ecommerce platform: which fits your process?
A B2B ecommerce platform is designed for broader digital commerce. A B2B ordering portal is a more focused fit when known locations, franchisees or dealers need to place repeat orders within centrally managed products and rules. In parts of Europe, a B2B ecommerce store may also be called a B2B webshop.
Focused ordering versus broader digital commerce
Catalogue by location
Not every buyer needs to see the same offer; your central team controls what is available by location.
Ordering and delivery workflow
The focus is on ordering rounds, changes, delivery and follow-up rather than online acquisition or consumer commerce.
Which solution fits which problem?
- 01
Choose a B2B ecommerce platform when product presentation, broader digital commerce and commercial selling are central.
- 02
Choose an ordering portal when a known network needs to order within central rules.
- 03
Use location, role and catalogue rules to show users only relevant choices.
- 04
Keep order and delivery in one operational workflow afterwards.
Cresco is logical when
you work with a fixed network of locations, franchisees or dealers
catalogues, delivery units or ordering moments are centrally defined
the order is part of an operational process rather than only a sales transaction
a broader ecommerce platform offers more functionality than your network actually needs
