A B2B order portal (sometimes called a customer portal) is a private, branded platform where customers can browse catalogues and place orders anytime, anywhere.
Your B2B buyers prefer to place their own orders. A self‑service portal empowers your buyers while freeing your team to focus on growth

With the OrderEase B2B ordering portal, your wholesale customers can place orders at any time, from anywhere. They can view products, check stock, and submit orders instantly in an easy-to-use, self‑service portal. No more emailing spreadsheets or chasing confirmations.
Manage different pricing for different customers with ease. Flexible tier settings let you adjust rates by segment—retail, wholesale, VIP or any group you define. Updates happen instantly, and customers only see the products and prices that apply to them.
Buyers see accurate order data and inventory without having to call or email your team. Every item added, every order placed, and all your inventory is synced in real time, so customers trust what they see and order with confidence.
Even when the internet drops, your customers can keep ordering from you. They can build orders offline, and your B2B ordering portal submits them when the connection returns. No missed orders, no duplicates, no delays.

Your wholesale customers can place orders anytime, anywhere, making it easy for them to view products, check stock, and submit orders instantly, all through an intuitive, self-service portal.
Stay up-to-date with live inventory updates, ensuring your customers can make informed decisions and avoid ordering out-of-stock items, keeping their experience seamless.
Offer a personalized experience with customer-specific catalogs and pricing. Each customer sees the products and rates that apply to them, making ordering fast and accurate.
Even without an internet connection, customers can browse and place orders offline. Once connected, their orders automatically sync to the system, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
Searching through outdated catalogs
Chasing down pricing and availability
Emailing orders and hoping they were received
Waiting on confirmations and delivery updates
A personalized ordering portal available 24/7
Real-time product info, pricing, and inventory
Faster, error-free ordering with no back-and-forth
A seamless experience that keeps them coming back

Unlike a public storefront where price shoppers pit you against competitors, a private B2B portal gives your customers a secure, personalised space that reinforces your brand. Buyers log in to see their own catalogue and contracted pricing, so you can maintain loyalty and protect your margins while delivering the convenience they expect.
Today’s buyers expect the same frictionless experience they get from consumer e‑commerce. A B2B portal delivers it with self-service ordering and instant order status updates. Customers can browse, build carts, place bulk orders, and track fulfilment without waiting to talk to your team. You meet their need for speed and transparency while guiding them to the right products and upsell opportunities.

E‑commerce tools can’t handle negotiated contracts and tiered discounts, but a B2B portal can.
OrderEase lets you manage sophisticated pricing structures while buyers only see the products and prices that apply to them. Honour negotiated deals and scale revenue without spreadsheets or awkward workarounds.
A self‑service portal is the easiest way for most buyers to purchase from you, but you don’t have to force every customer into it. OrderEase consolidates orders from all channels you stay efficient even when some customers prefer a different method.
Large box stores mandate electronic data interchange for purchase orders and invoices. OrderEase handles these EDI transactions, keeping you compliant with their trading requirements.
Empower your field sales team with a mobile app that mirrors the portal. Reps can place orders on behalf of customers during on‑site visits and have them sync instantly with your ERP.
Reach new buyers on consumer marketplaces while orders flow into your fulfilment process automatically. Pricing and inventory remain in sync across all channels.
Customers who still send purchase orders via email are covered. OrderEase automatically reads attachments, extracts order details and feeds them into your system—no manual re‑entry.
