Representative business workflows

Wholesale and B2B integration workflows, mapped end to end.

See how order-to-ERP automation, inventory synchronization, supplier feeds, and partner-led integrations can be assessed and designed. Every scenario is fictional and makes no claim of customer work, platform experience, or measured results.

Evidence status: Customer names, testimonials, production experience, and quantified outcomes will be added only when documentation and disclosure permission exist. Until then, these examples are provided as representative workflows.
Wholesale distribution

From B2B order to the correct warehouse

A regional industrial-parts distributor runs a B2B storefront, legacy ERP, accounting platform, and two warehouses. Staff currently re-enter orders and choose fulfillment locations manually.

Current problem

Orders wait in an export queue until operations staff validate customer terms, translate storefront SKUs, create an ERP order, and email a warehouse.

EcommerceSpreadsheetERPEmailWarehouse

Integrated workflow

Validate the account and line items, prevent duplicate orders, create the ERP sale, select the warehouse using agreed rules, request the invoice, and return tracking.

ValidateCreate orderRoute stockSync tracking

Measure in a real project

  • Manual minutes per order
  • Order-entry correction rate
  • Time from order to warehouse release
  • Exceptions by type and owner

Likely first step: An Integration Audit if ERP access, routing rules, or SKU ownership are unclear; otherwise a scoped workflow proposal.

Multi-channel ecommerce

Inventory that agrees across every sales channel

A home-goods retailer sells through its storefront and two marketplaces while stock is held by a 3PL. Each platform applies a different availability rule and updates at a different frequency.

Current problem

Operations reconcile daily stock files, reserve a safety buffer by hand, and correct oversold products after marketplace orders arrive.

3PL feedCSVStorefrontMarketplaces

Integrated workflow

Ingest warehouse availability, validate file completeness, calculate channel-specific sellable quantities, publish changes, and alert when a channel rejects an update.

IngestValidateApply bufferPublishReconcile

Measure in a real project

  • Oversells and canceled lines
  • Stock update latency by channel
  • Manual reconciliation hours
  • Rejected updates awaiting action

Likely first step: Confirm the stock source of truth, update frequency, channel rules, and rejection handling before implementation.

Manufacturing

Supplier catalogs into a legacy product system

A components manufacturer receives price and availability data from several suppliers through APIs, XML, SFTP, and scheduled CSV files. Its internal product system cannot consume these formats directly.

Current problem

Product staff download files, reshape columns, compare price changes, and upload batches. Invalid units or missing supplier references can affect thousands of rows.

Integrated workflow

Collect each approved feed, normalize supplier records, validate identifiers and price thresholds, quarantine exceptions, and publish accepted changes with an audit trail.

CollectNormalizeValidateApproveImport

Measure in a real project

  • Catalog processing time
  • Rows requiring manual review
  • Stale price and stock records
  • Supplier feed failures detected

Likely first step: Audit representative supplier files, identifiers, approval rules, and viable access to the legacy system.

Agency and ERP partner

Backend integration behind a new storefront

An ecommerce agency is launching a wholesale storefront for its client. The client relationship stays with the agency, while specialist integration work connects customer accounts, contract pricing, orders, and fulfillment.

Current problem

The storefront cannot launch until ERP data and business rules are available, but the agency does not want to build or support a custom integration layer.

Delivery workflow

Map ownership with all parties, define interfaces and acceptance criteria, build the bounded integration, test shared scenarios, document support routing, and hand over without bypassing the partner.

Joint discoveryBuildAcceptanceHandover

Measure in a real project

  • Acceptance scenarios passed
  • Integration defects after launch
  • Time to route support issues
  • Storefront orders processed

Likely first step: Joint discovery to define client ownership, interfaces, acceptance, communication, and post-launch support routing.

What discovery must confirm

Resolve the operating rules before implementation.

A representative flow becomes an implementation scope only after access, ownership, constraints, and acceptance are confirmed.

  • Available and permitted system access
  • Source of truth for every record and field
  • Volumes, timing, and vendor constraints
  • Exception types and accountable owners
  • Security, environment, and deployment requirements
  • Acceptance criteria and support transition
