Ordering, pricing and documentation for a professional buyer.
A distributor portal for pharmacy, hospital and wholesale buyers: real-time pricing, stock and documentation drawn from your ERP, with an ordering experience built for someone who buys repeatedly rather than someone browsing.
A distributor buyer ordering weekly needs speed above almost everything else: search that tolerates a partial reference number, reorder from history, and pricing that reflects their specific account. Discovery features built for a first-time consumer actively slow this buyer down.
ERP integration for real-time catalogue, pricing and stock, an ordering flow built for repeat professional buyers, customer-specific pricing and conditions, and an administration area for managing accounts and orders.
The portal connects to and reflects the catalogue, pricing and stock your ERP already manages, so buyers see real-time data pulled straight from the system of record, without us duplicating or second-guessing your warehouse operations.
The scale our distributor portal builds have operated at.
The priority differs by who is buying. A distributor portal starts from that buyer.
What comes up when scoping a distributor ordering portal.
A full commerce platform isn’t always necessary for a distributor portal. See ecommerce development for when the complexity sits in business rules — tiered pricing, minimum order quantities, approval workflows — rather than raw transaction volume, since that’s often the case here and a lighter, tightly integrated build fits the actual requirement better.
Pricing and stock are only as current as your ERP allows them to be. We build to whatever synchronisation frequency is realistically achievable — hourly, nightly, or near real time depending on your systems — and make that update frequency visible to buyers rather than implying data is live when it is a batch feed.
Yes, different customers can and normally must see different prices in a B2B pharma distributor portal. Customer-specific pricing sourced directly from your ERP is applied per authenticated buyer at login, so each distributor sees only their negotiated terms rather than a single public price list that ignores contract-level agreements already in place.
We can often still build a connection even without a formal API, typically through scheduled exports or file drops from the ERP. That approach changes what update frequency is realistic — usually nightly rather than live — so see website integrations for how we handle that constraint and set expectations with your buyers accordingly.
A distributor portal often sits alongside these other builds.
