B2B Portal Development in Cardiff
A trade portal where a Cardiff business's account customers place orders at their own negotiated prices, see their credit position and reorder without ringing. Business buying works differently from consumer checkout — customer-specific pricing, purchase orders and credit terms are the norm rather than the exception.
Why this comes up
The problem
Trade customers phone or email orders because the website only sells at list price. Someone rekeys each one, applies the right discount from memory, and mistakes appear on invoices.
What you get
What we deliver
- Customer-specific pricing and discount structures applied automatically per account
- Order history with straightforward reordering, which is most of trade purchasing
- Purchase order references captured, since many buyers cannot pay without one
- Credit limit and account balance visible, so customers self-manage against terms
- Multiple users per account with different permissions — orderers and approvers
- Stock and lead times shown honestly, because trade buyers plan around them

B2B Portal Development in Cardiff — common questions
- How is this different from a normal ecommerce site?
- Pricing, payment and permissions. Each customer sees their negotiated prices, pays on account rather than by card, and often has several people ordering under one account with approval rules. Consumer platforms handle none of that natively.
- Will trade customers actually move away from phoning?
- For repeat orders, most do — reordering from history is faster than a phone call. Complex or first-time orders stay on the phone, and a portal that removes the option to call tends to lose customers rather than convert them.
- Should we show live stock levels?
- Trade buyers plan around availability, so yes where the data is accurate. Showing stock figures you do not trust is worse than showing none, because a buyer who orders against a wrong figure loses confidence in everything else.
- Can it work with our existing ERP?
- That is usually the point — pricing, stock and credit live there and should stay there. The portal presents that data and writes orders back rather than becoming a second system to reconcile.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
