Case study | B2B procurement · Platform

B2B buying is not a cart. It is a request, a quote, an approval chain and a budget holder, and a consumer checkout models none of that.

All six builds

Procurement and approvals platform

A B2B procurement platform, built on Magento 2

The challenge

B2B buying is not a cart. It is a request, a quote, an approval chain and a budget holder, and a consumer checkout models none of that.

The approach

A custom procurement platform built around the approval structure rather than around the catalogue: purchase requests, quotes and multi-level sign-off with role-based permissions, wired into the systems that already held the order data.

Outcome

No measured result is published for this build. One of the six has one, and it is the only one that shows a figure. The rest say what was built and stop there, which is less impressive and considerably more useful than five plausible percentages.

More work

Next step

Describe what is in front of you and what it is costing. Thirty minutes is usually enough to name the decision underneath it, and that conversation occasionally ends with me saying you do not need the project.
