B2B Portal Development in Coventry
A trade portal where a Coventry 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

Coventry's automotive and mobility research base means a lot of local firms sit in complex supply chains, where the useful software is usually the piece that connects systems nobody planned to connect.

B2B Portal Development in Coventry — 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 West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Coventry and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Coventry businesses do you usually work with?
- Supply chain integration dominates — connecting order, quality and delivery data between manufacturers and the tiers above and below them. Beyond that we work across Automotive, Advanced Manufacturing, Higher Education, Logistics and Gaming.
- Do you cover the areas around Coventry?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Leicester, Northampton, Wolverhampton. Coventry is an urban area of roughly 370,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
