B2B or eCommerce B2B + B2C platform for distributors and wholesalers
When you have thousands of SKUs, dozens of suppliers with varying prices, and orders flowing in via email or phone, scaling sales without a digital B2B channel is simply costly. We implement systems that automate order entry and organize pricing in one place.
We know the biggest challenges of online sales in the manufacturing and industrial sectors
Thousands of SKUs without a consistent structure
An extensive catalog with inconsistent product attribution is the first reason why customers cannot find what they are looking for and order by phone instead of through the system.
Individual commercial conditions for each contractor
Discounts, price lists, limits and payment terms negotiated with each customer individually must work automatically in the system – without manually monitoring each order.
Inventory levels that don't keep up with reality
A customer who ordered a product that is out of stock does not return – real-time synchronization of stocks with ERP is a basic requirement for a functioning B2B system.
No different ordering options
Handling orders from different warehouses and suppliers simultaneously requires logic that no ready-made template offers.

Why Cognize eCommerce B2B agency?
We specialize in digitizing B2B sales for medium-sized and large companies – manufacturers and distributors. Our offering is distinguished by three substantive pillars:
A consultant who cares about the quality of your project
Each project is led by an experienced consultant – a former e-commerce manager from the B2B industry. This ensures that the implementation is led by someone who understands the day-to-day operations, challenges, and needs of your company.
“Flexible Accelerators” that reduce implementation costs and time
When implementing systems, we use ready-made "accelerators." These are systems and modules we've developed ourselves, based on open technologies. They reduce costs and shorten implementation time while remaining fully configurable to your unique needs.
Narrow specialization = we have already completed a project similar to your needs
Over 100 completed projects have allowed us to understand the specifics of companies operating in the B2B (often combined with B2C) sector. As a result, we have reference implementations and customer reviews for 92% of our inquiries.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from distributors and wholesalers
How to build a B2B platform for a distributor with individual pricing?
A B2B system for a distributor must support customer-specific pricing, quantity discounts, and individually negotiated commercial terms. We typically build this logic using Magento 2 or a dedicated solution integrated with ERP, ensuring that commercial terms are automatically synchronized, without manual setup in the store.
How can a distributor automate online order taking?
The solution is a self-service B2B panel where the customer places the order independently, views their price list, current inventory, and transaction history. The salesperson is informed about the order but doesn't have to process it manually – the system handles it for them.
Which B2B platform is best for wholesale distribution?
This always depends on the specifics of the company, so we prioritize technology selection with a pre-implementation analysis, during which we identify actual needs. Based on our implementation experience, we most often recommend Magento 2 for distributors with extensive catalogs and numerous customers, due to its mature ecosystem of B2B modules, integration capabilities, and scalability for high order volumes. We build custom solutions for highly specific processes.
