Common Questions About Our B2B eCommerce Platform
How does a B2B ERP-integrated eCommerce portal work?
A B2B ERP-integrated eCommerce portal connects directly to your ERP system, allowing trade customers to place orders online using live ERP data.
The ERP remains the system of record, controlling products, pricing, customers, and order processing, while the portal acts as the customer-facing ordering and account interface.
Who Is This Platform For?
The Portal People eCommerce platform is designed for:
- B2B wholesalers and distributors
- Manufacturers selling directly to trade customers
- Businesses using an ERP to manage products, pricing, customers, and orders
- Companies that need customer-specific pricing and account visibility online
Who Is This Platform NOT For?
The Portal People Platform is not designed for:
- Simple B2C stores with flat pricing
- Businesses without a back-office ERP or stock system
- One-size-fits-all SaaS shops with no integration requirements
Does the eCommerce portal replace our ERP?
No.
Your ERP continues to manage products, pricing, stock, customers, credit limits, and order processing.
The eCommerce portal simply exposes the relevant ERP data securely to the right customers online.
How does customer-specific pricing work?
Customer pricing is managed in the ERP, not the website.
When a customer logs in, the portal identifies their ERP account and displays prices pulled directly from ERP price books or pricing rules. This ensures pricing consistency across online orders, sales reps, and phone orders.
What ERP systems can the portal integrate with?
The Portal People platform integrates with ERP systems including Sage 200, Datafile, and NetSuite.
Additional integrations can be supported via API depending on business requirements.
Can trade customers see their account information online?
Yes.
Logged-in customers can view order history, invoices, balances, and other account information pulled directly from the ERP, depending on how the portal is configured.
