B2B commerce · Commercial operations platform

From customer order to collection in one commercial workflow

We designed a B2B platform connecting customers, sales, management, warehouse, and accounting around the same operation and documents.

The context

The commercial lifecycle existed, but each department saw only one part.

Orders, quotes, purchase orders, invoices, and payment evidence moved across email, calls, chats, and separate files. Commercial, logistics, and collection status could tell different stories about the same operation.

Answering a question required rebuilding context:
  • Who owns this order?
  • Did the customer accept the quote?
  • Has the warehouse prepared delivery?
  • Is the invoice still outstanding?
The challenge

Every handoff between departments created friction and rework.

Sales recaptured data, warehouse received incomplete requests, accounting reconciled separate documents, and management consolidated information before it could decide.

01

Duplicate information

Data provided by customers was typed again across different tools.

02

Disconnected status

Order, delivery, invoice, and collection could progress without a shared view.

03

Late visibility

Stalled orders, overdue receivables, and critical inventory required manual follow-up.

The solution

A shared commercial operating system.

Every participant works on the same order and keeps the context created by the others—from customer request through collection and result analysis.

01

Request

Customers create the order and attach the required information.

02

Quote

Sales assigns, prepares versions, and records the decision.

03

Fulfill

Warehouse prepares, ships, and documents delivery.

04

Collect

Accounting invoices, reconciles payments, and updates balance.

Real-time tracking

Customers know where their order is. Management knows where time is being lost.

The customer module shows progress from order receipt and quote acceptance through final delivery. Sales and warehouse control each stage change, while customers get a clear view without follow-up calls.

The platform

Designed for the customer and every team behind the operation.

The portal combines self-service, cross-department coordination, digital documents, alerts, and role-based access.

Customer portal

Orders, quotes, deliveries, invoices, and balances without depending on business hours.

Orders and quotes

Assignment, versions, acceptance, rejection, and corporate PDF on the same record.

Warehouse and inventory

Preparation, transit, partial deliveries, and availability with commercial context.

Invoicing and receivables

Invoice, payment evidence, credit, balance, and due date connected to the operation.

Management dashboard

Sales, conversion, pipeline, receivables, inventory, and performance from one source.

Permissions and audit

Role-specific experiences, data policies, and a history of actions and owners.

Before and after

From independent conversations to a shared operation.

Operating scenario

Where could 180 monthly hours be released?

The model distributes potential capacity across data capture, quoting, inquiries, invoicing, coordination, receivables, and reporting. Each assumption can be replaced with real data after measuring the operation.

Technology

A foundation built for roles, documents, and real-time operations.

React organizes role-specific experiences. Supabase connects PostgreSQL, authentication, storage, access policies, realtime, and server functions. Vercel supports HTTPS deployment.

Control by design

  • Access and data based on role
  • Each user can only access their own information, never another user's private data
  • Documents linked to each operation
  • Sensitive actions validated on the server
  • Audit trail for status and owners
