Proven verticals include food and beverage, restaurant supply, office supply, industrial supply, educational publishing, and safety and facilities. It is not designed for retail commerce, one-time transactions, or distributors without account-specific pricing. Express B2B fits a specific kind of operation: repeat B2B orders, negotiated pricing per customer, multi-site buyers, and a process that still runs through phone calls and email.

Check your fit — 5 questions [ See proven industries → ](#proven-industries) The fit test Recognise your business here? ----------------------------- These aren't marketing checkboxes — they're the specific conditions Express B2B was designed to solve. Your customers reorder the same products repeatedly They know exactly what they need. They're not browsing — they're reordering. Different customers have different pricing Negotiated rates, not public catalog prices. Each account has its own deal. Buyers ship to multiple locations from one account A company with 6 offices orders from one billing account to 6 ship-to sites. Orders still arrive by phone, email, or spreadsheet Your reps are spending real time on manual entry and back-and-forth confirmation. You're between $500K and $50M in annual B2B sales Beyond startup, not yet enterprise ERP complexity. The sweet spot where purpose-built ordering software delivers outsized ROI. If you nodded to most of those — this was designed for you. Answer 5 questions and get a personalised diagnosis of what's costing you and whether Express B2B fixes it. Check your fit — 5 questions [ Book a demo ](/#demo) Proven industries Where it's already working -------------------------- Different products, different markets — the same underlying ordering problem. Here's how it plays out across the industries we know best. Educational Supply & Publishing ### Publishers supplying schools, libraries, and districts School districts are perfect billing accounts: central procurement authority, negotiated pricing, approved vendor catalogs, and PO approval thresholds. The schools themselves are the ship-to sites — dozens per district, each with their own receiving contact and delivery notes. This is exactly what the billing account + site structure was built for. - **District billing accounts** each carry a curated catalog — approved texts and materials only, at negotiated pricing. - **Individual schools as sites** — coordinators order for their school, billing routes to the district, ship-to is the school building. - **PO approval workflows** auto-route above the district's threshold — no manual forwarding to the purchasing office.

We manually cross-check every order against a spreadsheet." Restricted catalog per OEM customer PO number on every order Multi-plant ship-to routing Industrial Components & Manufacturing ### Manufacturers selling components to OEMs and production facilities OEM buyers reorder the same components on production cycles — they know the part number, the quantity, and which plant it ships to. The complexity lies in the account structure: each OEM has an approved parts list, negotiated pricing, and multiple receiving facilities. Managing this by email and spreadsheet is where errors happen. - **Per-customer catalogs** enforce exactly which parts each OEM is approved to order — no off-list items visible. - **PO number field** on every order satisfies procurement requirements without back-and-forth email. - **Multi-plant ordering** — a single procurement manager can stage separate orders for different production facilities in one session. - **Negotiated pricing applied automatically** — no rep needed to look up the right rate or send a corrected invoice. Food & Beverage Distribution ### Distributors supplying restaurant chains, hospitality groups, and catering operations Food distributors live and die by weekly order cycles. A regional manager at a restaurant chain doesn't need to browse — they need to reorder the same products to six locations, confirm the totals, and move on. The current process (six emails, six confirmations, two days) should take ten minutes in one session. - **Multi-order cart** — stage orders for all locations in one session, review totals together, submit in one checkout. - **Ship-to sites** with delivery notes per location — each restaurant gets the right order, the right address, the right receiving contact. - **Tiered volume pricing** — chain buyers who order in bulk automatically receive the right per-case rate. Food & Beverage Distributor Supplying restaurant groups 30+ chain accounts Weekly order cycle 6–50 locations per chain "Our California manager places orders for 6 restaurants every Monday.

Central procurement, 46 ship-to addresses, monthly orders." Account hierarchy mirrors their org structure Tiered pricing by facility type Approval thresholds by department Safety, Facilities & Janitorial Supply ### Distributors supplying hospitals, corporate campuses, and institutional facilities Healthcare networks, school systems, and corporate campuses all share the same ordering pattern: central procurement authority, many receiving locations, monthly replenishment cycles, and compliance requirements that vary by facility type. The billing account hierarchy maps directly to how these organisations are actually structured. - **One account per organisation**, one site per facility — the structure mirrors reality instead of fighting it. - **Facility-level site permissions** — a building manager can only order for their building; a facilities director can order for all of them. - **Approval thresholds** per account type — routine janitorial orders submit automatically; capital equipment replacements route to facilities management. Wholesale Apparel & Specialty Goods ### Wholesalers supplying hundreds of independent retail accounts Specialty wholesalers — apparel, lifestyle goods, artisan products — sell to hundreds of independent retailers, each with their own shipping addresses, order cadence, and account terms. The repeat ordering cycle is high-frequency and the buyer experience on a standard e-commerce site creates real friction: scrolling through hundreds of addresses to find theirs, restarting the session for every location, and placing the same kinds of orders over and over. - **Pre-saved ship-to sites per account** — each retailer's addresses are stored and pre-selected, so buyers confirm rather than search. - **Two-step express checkout** — add products, confirm and ship. Designed for buyers who know what they need and want to move fast. - **Per-account pricing** — wholesale tiers, retailer discounts, and negotiated rates applied automatically without manual lookup. - **Real-time inventory visibility** — buyers see actual available stock, not a cached number from a nightly sync that's already stale. Specialty Wholesale Manufacturer Supplying independent retail stores 200+ retail accounts 100s ship-to addresses Seasonal reorder cycle "Our buyers scroll through hundreds of addresses at checkout. Some have 10 store locations — they have to start over for each one." Pre-saved ship-to per retail account Express two-step checkout Live inventory — no stale sync Also a strong fit Anywhere the ordering pattern matches ------------------------------------- If your customers reorder known products at negotiated prices — across one or many locations — Express B2B adapts to your model. ### Medical & Dental Consumables Practice groups ordering the same consumables under GPO pricing to multiple clinic locations. ### Office & Print Supply Branded stationery, print materials, and office supplies distributed to corporate clients with per-client catalogs. ### Lab & Research Equipment Universities and research institutions ordering approved reagents and equipment to multiple lab sites. ### Promotional & Branded Products Merch suppliers running a branded portal per corporate client — each company's employees see only their logo, their catalog, and their pricing. One platform behind all of them. ### Subscription Fulfillment Companies enrolling students or members at scale — school districts bulk-registering for subscription programs. ### Chemicals & Cleaning Supply Commercial cleaning chemical distributors with different formulations approved per facility type and compliance tier. ### Agriculture & Farm Supply Seed, fertiliser, and equipment suppliers to farms and co-ops — seasonal bulk orders with volume-based pricing. ### Specialty Trade Distribution Distributors in niche trade categories — art supply, craft materials, or professional tools — serving institutional buyers. Different products. Different markets. Same problem. ---------------------------------------------------- Every business on this page sells to buyers who know exactly what they want, have negotiated pricing in place, and are still placing orders the old way. Express B2B replaces that workflow with a purpose-built ordering experience — and the platform adapts to their account structure, not the other way around.

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.
