Built for Serious B2B
Trade eCommerce is different from retail — your customers expect accurate pricing, live stock, flexible payment terms, and freight rules that match real-world operations. Our Node.js and React-based commerce platform is built for distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers who need reliability, scale, and full ERP synchronisation.
- Pricing:
Support any pricing model — tiered discounts, contract and matrix pricing, campaign-based promotions, and customer-specific rates. Dynamic rules ensure the right price is always shown based on account, brand, or region.
- Payments:
Offer flexible trade payments including purchase orders, on-account billing with live credit checks, and secure online card payments through Windcave or Stripe. Automatic reconciliation links payments directly to ERP financials.
- Catalogue:
Handle catalogues with tens or hundreds of thousands of SKUs. Apply brand or category-based visibility rules, bundle related items, and include compatibility data (for example, Autoi fitment). Built-in search indexing ensures instant lookup even at scale.
- Freight:
Configure freight by carrier, region, or product group with table rates, volumetric and weight-based rules, and API integrations with major carriers. Rural surcharges and custom freight classes are supported for accurate landed costs.
- Compliance:
Meet export and tax obligations with automated GST/VAT handling, HS codes, and region-specific paperwork. Integrations ensure the correct data flows through to customs, freight, and accounting systems.
Search & performance
Enterprise-grade performance meets usability.
Our server-side search supports rich filters, facets, and auto-suggest, giving customers fast access to exactly what they need — even in huge product catalogues.
Front-end optimisation includes caching, prefetching, lazy loading, and image optimisation to achieve consistently high Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, INP, CLS).
Whether you’re serving large account logins or mobile users in the field, the site stays fast, responsive, and reliable.
Integrations & stock accuracy
Accurate stock data is the backbone of any trade portal. We integrate directly with your ERP or inventory system to synchronise products, stock levels, and ETAs in real time.
Support for multi-warehouse routing ensures customers see availability by location or branch. Backorder rules, substitutions, and messaging keep buyers informed, reduce order friction, and maintain trust.
Integration patterns include:
- Real-time API and webhook updates
- Event-based queueing for reliability under load
- Full audit logs for every transaction
- Idempotent order handling to prevent duplicates
Rollout strategy
Every implementation follows a phased, low-risk rollout plan. We typically begin with core accounts and product categories, proving the workflow and integrations before scaling.
Admin users gain powerful tools for managing pricing matrices, catalogue curation, promotions, and freight settings — all without needing developer support. This enables your internal team to control the experience and adapt quickly to market changes.
