Join.To.IT builds B2B ecommerce portals for wholesalers and manufacturers whose buyers log in to see their price, request a quote, punch out from procurement, and pay on net terms. This is not a DTC cart and not a multi-seller marketplace.
Wholesale buyers do not shop like a DTC customer. They belong to an account, see a contracted price, often need a colleague to approve, and may pay on net terms or return a cart to a procurement system. A consumer storefront plus a “wholesale discount code” does not cover that.
We build the buyer portal and the sales-ops tools around it: price lists, quotes, punchout, credit checks, and role permissions. ERP remains the system of record for inventory and invoices when that is already true. The portal is how buyers and salespeople stop emailing spreadsheets.
Begin with price lists and quotes — the two places wholesale teams leak margin and time — then add punchout and credit.
Company accounts with buyers, approvers, and finance users, each limited to the catalogues and actions they are allowed.
Contract and list prices that resolve per account, location, or volume break — not a sitewide sale banner.
Request, revise, and convert quotes with expiry and approval, so negotiated deals are not trapped in email.
cXML or similar punchout so buyers start in their procurement tool, shop your catalogue, and return a cart for PO issue.
Checkout that can place an order on account when credit allows, and hold it when the ERP says the account is over limit.
Fast reorder from history, saved lists, and a sales view of the same prices the buyer sees.
B2B portals generate quote notes, punchout errors, and “what did we order last quarter” questions. AI is useful on search, quote drafting, and support — always showing the account’s price, never a public web price.
Our Join.To.IT AI development team connects these capabilities to your price lists, quotes, and ERP order history.
Search the subset and attributes that account may buy, ranking with stock and their contract range — not consumer merchandising.
Draft a quote from last orders and current price list for sales to edit, including pack sizes and UOM.
Summarise failed punchout payloads so IT and sales see a mapping issue instead of a blank procurement cart.
Answer invoice, shipment, and backorder questions from that company’s orders, then escalate credit issues to humans.
Surface SKUs selling below floor or missing a contract row before the buyer sees a wrong number.
We integrate ERP for items, inventory, invoices, and credit, payment providers for card-on-file when you offer it, tax, and procurement punchout endpoints.
The portal should not become a second warehouse. Stock, invoices, and credit limits stay with ERP when that is your source of truth. We do not build a consumer marketplace of third-party sellers on this page.
Hosted retail platforms can add a B2B layer. Custom development earns its place when account pricing, quotes, punchout, and net terms are how you sell — and the consumer cart still shows the wrong price to the wrong buyer.
A leaked list price or a shared discount code is a commercial incident, not a merchandising tweak.
Many wholesale deals never start in a cart. They start as a quote that must convert without retyping.
If procurement will not leave their tool, you need a session that returns a cart they can approve.
Credit holds and invoice visibility belong next to the order, tied to ERP, not a consumer pay button.
Buyers, approvers, and finance users need different catalogues and limits. A single login is not a portal.
The same Join.To.IT delivery process, applied to accounts, price lists, quotes, punchout, and net terms.
Map how accounts are set up, how prices are agreed, how quotes are approved, and where punchout or net terms already exist.
Define account, price, quote, and order objects, plus ERP, SSO, and procurement integrations and which system owns credit.
Design buyer, approver, and sales-rep interfaces so contract price is obvious and consumer-style upsell is not the default.
Build accounts and price resolution first, then quotes, punchout, and credit holds in releases sales can pilot with real buyers.
Test price leakage, role permissions, quote conversion, punchout round-trips, and over-limit holds before opening the portal wide.
Launch with a buyer cohort and sales-rep support, then migrate remaining accounts and retire spreadsheet price lists.
We choose technologies based on ERP landscape, punchout requirements, catalogue size, and how buyers authenticate.
Practical answers for wholesale operators, sales leaders, and IT teams who sell to other businesses.
