Client's Testimonial

"Developers.dev built a B2B portal that has fundamentally changed how we do business. Our clients love the self-service features, and our sales team is freed up to focus on relationships instead of manual order entry. Order processing is 40% faster, and errors have been virtually eliminated. Their understanding of both B2B complexity and PrestaShop is unmatched."

Klaus Richter, COO.

Client Overview

A leading European supplier of automotive components, with over $250M in annual revenue, relied on a cumbersome system of phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets for B2B orders. They needed a modern, self-service PrestaShop portal to streamline ordering for their 500+ wholesale clients, handle complex tiered pricing, and integrate with their SAP Business One ERP.

Problem

The client's manual ordering process was inefficient, prone to errors, and unable to scale. It created a poor experience for their wholesale clients and placed a heavy administrative burden on their internal sales team.

Key Challenges

Complex Pricing Logic

Needed to support over 50 different pricing tiers based on client volume and region.

SAP Integration

Required real-time, bi-directional sync of inventory, orders, and client-specific pricing.

Bulk Ordering & Re-ordering

Clients needed an easy way to order hundreds of SKUs at once and quickly re-order past shipments.

Security & Access Control

The portal had to be secure and show specific catalogs and pricing only to authenticated users.

Our Solution

We assembled a dedicated team focused on B2B and enterprise integrations.

📦 B2B Module Suite

We developed a suite of custom modules for tiered pricing, bulk order forms, and quote request management.
