- Custom Data Engineering: We developed advanced import/export routines to handle their massive product database. This automated logic allowed the client to perform site-wide price adjustments and inventory syncs in minutes rather than weeks.
- Interactive eCatalog Integration: We built a custom “flippable” digital brochure. This interactive brochure provided a tactile, catalog-like experience online, allowing sales reps and distributors to browse the collection with ease.
- Distributor Portal Management: We engineered secure, unique portals for each B2B client. This system allowed for the management of exclusive offerings and custom negotiated rates, providing a professional and personalized experience for every major distributor.
