Implementation of B2B systems on Magento 2 for manufacturers and distributors

Implementation time varies and depends on many factors, such as project complexity, the scope of required functionality, the number of integrations, and the need for data migration. Standard implementations typically take 3 to 6 months, but more complex projects may require more time. We always establish a precise timeline after conducting a Pre-Implementation Analysis.

The cost of implementing a B2B system is priced individually for each project. The main factors influencing the price include: the chosen platform (Magento vs. a dedicated solution), the scope of standard and custom functionalities, the number and complexity of integrations with external systems, the scope of data migration, and any additional services (e.g., UX/UI design, advanced training). A detailed quote is provided after a thorough needs assessment or based on a Pre-Implementation Analysis.

Yes, we have extensive experience in integrating B2B systems with various ERP systems, including those popular on the Polish market such as Comarch Optima, Comarch XL, Subiekt GT/Nexo, Symfonia, as well as with SAP and Streamsoft Prestiż systems.

Each implementation is covered by a warranty period. After its completion, we offer flexible technical support and maintenance packages (SLAs) tailored to the client's needs. We provide ongoing support, system updates, and the ability to further develop the platform with new functionalities.

A Magento 2-based B2B system is a good choice when you need a proven, scalable platform with a rich set of standard features and access to numerous ready-made extensions, which can speed up implementation. We recommend a dedicated solution when your business processes are highly unique, require custom functionality unavailable in off-the-shelf platforms, or require maximum flexibility in system development. We'll help you determine the best choice during a free consultation.

Yes, migrating key data (e.g., customer database, products, order history) from the legacy system to the new B2B platform is a standard element of our implementations. The scope and method of migration are determined during the project analysis phase.

Yes, after implementation, we conduct dedicated training for system administrators and end users (e.g. sales team, customer service) to ensure a smooth start to work with the new B2B platform.

For Magento-based systems (hosted on-site or at the client's premises) and dedicated systems, it's essential to ensure a suitable hosting/server environment—we determine its specifications during the analysis. End users only need internet access and a current web browser. Integration may require access to external systems' APIs.

Magento 2 is open source with one of the largest developer communities in the world – both agencies and internal teams can handle a system built on this engine. If your implementation is based on Sellina, there's no need to worry – we provide full documentation, and the lack of a vendor lock is one of the advantages of this solution.

Yes, this is one of the most common scenarios. A single admin panel manages both channels, with different prices, views, and terms for each customer type.

If you have a complex product catalog, individual price lists for your customers, and require ERP integration, Magento 2 is likely the right solution. If not, we'll tell you directly during the consultation. We don't sell solutions that don't fit the client's scale.

Yes. Sellina is based on the Magento 2 engine, but we noticed recurring needs among our clients and added advanced B2B functionalities.

Key features include advanced merchant credit and deferred payment management (with configurable rules for blocking customers when their limit is exceeded), shopping lists and multiple carts for a single customer, managing multiple users within a single organization, displaying different prices per user type, GUS validation upon registration, an extensive customer acceptance module, and merchant-to-customer assignment. These features are not included in the standard Magento 2 Open Source installation.

In B2B commerce, price lists are often based on hundreds of individual terms, limits, and discounts linked to the ERP system. Although Magento has native wholesale pricing mechanisms, for highly complex business logic, we implement our Pricing Application. This dedicated microservice handles the calculation burden and asynchronously recalculates the terms of trade for a given customer. This reduces the load on the main ERP system, allowing customers to see their individual prices in their shopping cart in a fraction of a second, without slowing down the platform.

The Magento engine can easily handle hundreds of thousands of indexes, but manually managing such a vast number of parameters from the store dashboard is a huge burden for the team. To prevent this, for complex product ranges, we recommend implementing a PIM system (Akeneo or Ergonode). PIM becomes a central place for managing product information. The team can conveniently standardize attributes, descriptions, and variants, and then automatically feed this organized data into the Magento B2B platform. You can be sure that the specifications are error-free, and the time required to update the offer is reduced by dozens of percent.
