Features are tiered across three plans — Starter, Growth, and Scale — with SSO and multiple billing accounts available on paid plans. From negotiated pricing to multi-site cart staging — every capability is purpose-built for how distributors and their buyers actually work.

The two-step flow strips everything else away: select the billing account, add products, review, done. No repeated lookups, no manual price checks, no rep involvement. - **Billing account selection** automatically applies the right price list, catalog, authorized ship-to locations, and approval rules. - **Single-screen product entry** — add products, quantities, and optional PO number without switching views. - **Read-only review step** confirms totals and shipping before the order enters the cart — no surprises at checkout.

Price lists let you define exactly what each customer can order and what they pay — and the platform applies it the moment they select their billing account. - **Catalog visibility control** — each price list defines which products are visible to that customer. Buyers only see what they're authorized to order. - **Flexible pricing rules** — set per-product price overrides, percentage discounts, or fixed-amount adjustments off the base price. - **Volume tiers** — configure tiered pricing rules per product line for high-volume buyers. - **Reuse across accounts** — one price list can serve multiple billing accounts, so a customer with five offices shares a single negotiated arrangement. Account Structure One company, many accounts and sites — all structured ----------------------------------------------------- B2B buyers don't operate from a single address. A company may have regional billing accounts, per-office accounts, and dozens of ship-to sites. Express B2B models this precisely so every order flows to the right place and bills the right entity. - **Billing accounts** determine who gets invoiced. A company can have one or many, each with its own price list and approval rules. - **Sites** are ship-to locations — address, receiving contact, and delivery notes. The same site can be associated with multiple billing accounts without duplication. - **Layered permissions** — billing-account membership controls which accounts a user can order against; site permissions control which ship-to locations within those accounts they can use.

The cart holds all pending orders simultaneously — each one for a different ship-to site or billing account — until the buyer is ready to check out. - **Persistent cart** accessible at any time via a slide-over — orders are never lost if the buyer switches to a different task mid-session. - **Edit before checkout** — any order in the cart can be returned to step 1 for changes. Re-submitting overwrites the existing version. - **One checkout, all orders** — the buyer reviews totals across all staged orders, then submits them together. Controls Approval workflows that run without manual routing -------------------------------------------------- When an order exceeds the approval threshold set on a billing account, the system automatically routes an approval request to the designated manager — no rep involvement, no manual forwarding. Buyers get an immediate status update; managers get a direct email with approve and reject actions. - **Per-account thresholds** — each billing account can have its own approval limit, so high-volume accounts can self-approve while others require sign-off. - **Automatic email routing** — approval requests go directly to the manager configured on the account. No setup required per order. - **Full audit trail** — every approval and rejection is recorded against the order for compliance and reconciliation.

Close 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 Back See my results Analysing your responses… ------------------------- Identifying what's costing you the most Here's what's costing you most: Chat with AI about your results Express B2B AI Coming soon AI chat is in development — we'll notify you when it launches.
