Industrial Manufacturing Expertise
Industrial B2B e-commerce is fundamentally different from consumer retail. Products are configurable, orders are high-value, payment terms are customer-specific, and shipping means freight optimization. We’ve built platforms that handle all of this complexity.
What We Bring to Industrial Manufacturing Projects
Massive Catalog Management
For Robots.com, we built a Craft Commerce platform handling 200,000+ SKUs with configurable specifications. The custom product importer we built is 10x faster than standard solutions, enabling monthly catalog-wide price updates.
Staged B2B Payment Systems
Standard e-commerce checkout doesn’t work for high-value industrial orders. We built custom staged payment systems where each customer has their own terms: down payment percentage, pre-shipping payment, and net terms. Each order progresses through payment stages with proper invoicing at each step.
Freight Optimization
Industrial equipment requires freight shipping, not standard carriers. We built automated pallet assembly algorithms integrated with FedEx API for real-time freight quotes, eliminating manual quoting and ensuring accurate shipping costs.
ERP Integration
Bi-directional sync between e-commerce platforms and ERP systems like xTuple and NetSuite ensures orders, customers, products, and inventory stay synchronized across systems.
