Public website
Use a business website when the goal is to explain services, attract inquiries and publish public information.
B2B Systems
B2B portals for partner sales, restricted-access catalogs and group-based pricing.
We build B2B portals where different partner groups or accounts see specific catalogs, pricing terms, documents and statuses. The system can include role-based access, request flows, dashboards and integrations with existing ERP, CRM, warehouse or supplier systems.
Beyond a public website
A B2B portal is usually a working tool, not a marketing page. It may include accounts, permissions, restricted product data, quotes, orders, files, status tracking or reporting screens. The system needs careful planning before development starts.
Useful for
- Companies selling through partners, dealers or distributors.
- Teams that need controlled access to documents, prices or product data.
- Businesses with repeated quote, order, approval or account management workflows.
- Operations that have outgrown spreadsheets, shared folders and email chains.
How to choose the right B2B approach
A portal makes sense when it supports a real working process. Sometimes a public website, a CMS or a store is enough; sometimes the business needs a controlled application with restricted-access data and integrations.
Store or catalog base
Use WooCommerce or catalog workflows when the main problem is product structure, checkout, inquiries or catalog imports.
Custom B2B portal
Use a custom web solution when roles, partner price groups, approvals, restricted documents and system integrations are part of the work.
What a first B2B portal version can include
The first version should make one partner or account workflow reliable before the portal grows. For many companies, that means secure login, clear account permissions, controlled catalog or document access and an admin process for reviewing requests.
Data and access risks
- Partner prices and stock rules need a reliable source before automation.
- Product catalog data should be cleaned before it enters a private portal.
- ERP, CRM or warehouse integrations need clear sync rules and fallback behavior.
- Permission mistakes can expose private prices, documents or account history, so roles are planned carefully.

What we clarify before development
Before development starts, we define the portal as a concrete working system: who signs in, what each role can see, where the data comes from and which core actions - quotes, orders, documents or reports - need to be included in the first version.

B2B portal FAQ
Can a B2B portal have different roles, prices and permissions?
Yes. User roles, partner groups, price lists and access rules are usually central to B2B portal development.
Can it connect to an existing ERP, CRM or warehouse system?
Yes, when the external system exposes an API, export feed or reliable data exchange method. We plan the integration rules before development starts.
Can the portal include restricted-access product catalogs and order requests?
Yes. A portal can include restricted-access catalogs, tiered partner pricing by account group, stock visibility, quote requests, order requests, documents and approval flows.
Can you start with a smaller first version?
Yes. We often recommend a staged build with the most important partner, catalog or order workflows first.
Do you support the portal after launch?
Yes. We can handle hosting, monitoring, backups, updates, further development and technical support for the portal.
