How NetSuite-Powered B2B Portal Simplifies Customer Orders
Client Portfolio
One of our clients, a leading Sporting Goods Manufacturing company based in Brooklyn, New York, required us to create a B2B Portal to configure the process of placing and managing customer orders specifically within a business-to-business environment using the NetSuite platform.
Established in 2011, and inspired by Brooklyn's streets, their bikes are vibrant, stylish, and comfortable, made to take customers anywhere. They focus on sustainability, performance, and comfort in every detail of their bikes. They promote teamwork and community across cities, cultures, and interests.
Problem Statement
The client wanted to create a B2B Portal through which their vendors could place orders. They had built connections and subcustomers through their NetSuite system. To simplify order placement, each of them required their own login access.
Those who were allowed to place orders on behalf of the company should be able to view only their orders grouped by hierarchy. Customers placing orders should see their subcustomers’ orders, while sub-customers will only see their own orders. This hierarchical structure is required for order placement. Furthermore, the client wanted to track individual order placements and give their contacts the option to place orders.
What We Suggested
Our experts meticulously analyzed the requirements and proposed appropriate solutions. Subsequently, our technical team not only developed the Portal but also oversaw its implementation and design. They ensured a seamless ordering process for customers. They securely managed login authentication by integrating it with NetSuite’s backend and providing password resetting options. All the standard website features were incorporated, such as authentication, password reset, customer order placement, category selection, and user-friendly navigation. Distinct panels were designated for presenting unique offers.
We created their website, harnessing data from NetSuite’s backend. All NetSuite data is retrieved and displayed on the B2B Portal‘s front-end. Modifications made on the website are mirrored in NetSuite. Consequently, when an order is submitted, stock levels are immediately updated within NetSuite.
