01

Business problem

Dealer orders came in by email and phone. Pricing varied by account, and order status questions consumed the sales team's time.

02

Solution

A self-service portal where dealers see their own pricing, place orders, track dispatch and download invoices.

03

Result

Dealers order and check status themselves, approvals follow a defined workflow, and the sales team works from one order queue.

Scope

What we built

  • Dealer accounts with tiered pricing
  • Catalogue, cart and repeat orders
  • Credit limits and approval workflow
  • Dispatch tracking and invoices
  • Admin console and reporting

Approach

  1. Step 1

    Pricing rules modelled properly

    Account-level price lists and discounts are handled by the system rather than by exception.

  2. Step 2

    Integration over duplication

    Stock and invoice data sync with the existing inventory system instead of being re-entered.

  3. Step 3

    Adoption planned in

    Dealer onboarding materials and a phased invite process supported the switch from email.
