 Case Studies 

 Real results from real distributors 
=====================================

Express B2B case studies document real deployments — specific industries, specific problems, specific results — from distributors, publishers, and manufacturers who replaced phone and email ordering with a self-service B2B portal.

 Feature lists describe what software does. Case studies show what it changed. Here are the deployments we can talk about — the problems, the decisions, and the numbers after.

 How a Children's Book Publisher Scaled B2B Ordering Across 8,000+ Program Locations 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A national educational program with more than 8,000 clinic and office locations was placing orders by email and spreadsheet. Three tiers of buyers. Outdated data. Hundreds of orders per day at peak. Here's how they went live in three months and processed half a million dollars through the portal immediately after.

 Express B2B · Fit Check 

 Question 1 of 5 

Find out if Express B2B fits your operation
-------------------------------------------

5 questions about your current ordering process. We'll diagnose exactly what's costing you — and whether this platform solves it.

- Takes under 2 minutes
- Personalised diagnosis at the end
- No email required to see results

  Let's find out   

Question 1 of 5

How do most of your customers send you orders today?
----------------------------------------------------

Don't overthink it — pick the one that happens most.

 By phone or email

My team transcribes them manually

  Spreadsheets or shared forms

Structured, but still manual to process

  Through an existing site or platform

It works, but it wasn't built for B2B

  A mix — every customer does it differently

Different methods, constant switching

  Continue   

Question 2 of 5

How much of your team's week goes into manually processing orders?
------------------------------------------------------------------

Think about data entry, confirmations, corrections, and follow-up emails.

 Less than an hour a week

We're pretty automated already

  A few hours — it adds up

Noticeable, but we manage

  Half a day or more each week

It's a real drain on the team

  It's basically someone's full-time job

A whole role dedicated to order intake

 Back  Continue   

Question 3 of 5

How confident are you that every order goes out at the right negotiated price?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each customer may have different rates. How is that tracked today?

 Very confident — we have a reliable system

Pricing is centralised and accurate

  Mostly — but we manually double-check

Some process, but still human verification

  We catch errors — sometimes after they ship

Wrong prices reach customers occasionally

  Not very — it's a real risk for us

Pricing errors happen and we don't always catch them

 Back  Continue   

Question 4 of 5

When a customer ships to multiple locations, how does that work today?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Select all that apply to your customers.

 Each location orders separately

No central oversight — each site is its own account

  One person manages all locations

Lots of back-and-forth, easy to get something wrong

  It's messy — errors happen regularly

Wrong addresses, wrong items, missed locations

  Our customers only have one location

Not a factor in our business right now

  All of the above apply

Multiple of these are true for different customers

 Back  Continue   

Question 5 of 5

What would you fix about your ordering process if you could?
------------------------------------------------------------

Select all that apply — most operations have more than one.

 Stop spending time on manual order entry

Eliminate the data entry work entirely

  Make sure pricing is accurate every time

Right rates, automatically, no double-checking

  Give customers a self-service way to order

They shouldn't need to call or email us every time

  Get real visibility into what's been ordered

Status, history, and confirmations without chasing

  All of the above

Every one of these is a problem for us
