Give Buyers a Clearer Path From Part Search to Quote Request

A distributor website should support how customers buy: finding parts, checking product information, and sending the details your sales team needs. We build custom websites and tools around that process.

Where buyers get stuck

Start with the friction in your current website.

Hard-to-search catalogs

Part numbers, specifications, and product categories need a clear structure. We begin by reviewing your product data and how customers search.

Incomplete quote requests

An email saying “send pricing” leaves your team with follow-up work. A structured RFQ can capture the product, quantity, and purchasing context.

Disconnected workflows

Repeated copying between forms, spreadsheets, and business systems is a useful starting point for a focused automation project.

Fastener distribution experience

From inventory lookup to a usable quote request.

We built an inventory search and request workflow for a large fastener distributor, connecting product availability information with a path to sales inquiries.

What we can build

A practical starting point for your distributor website.

Inventory search & RFQs

Scope part lookup, availability displays, and multi-item quote requests around the data you can provide and the way your team sells.

Sales tools & integrations

Review portals, request routing, and system connections against your workflow and software access. Explore sales automation.

Custom B2B e-commerce

Build your storefront around how distributors sell.

Planning online purchasing alongside your catalog and RFQ workflow? We can scope a custom e-commerce site with part-number search, customer accounts, account-specific pricing, bulk quantities, and purchasing rules.

Inventory and ERP connections depend on your software and data access. We confirm those requirements during discovery.

Document management with permanent links

Update the document. Keep the link.

Using PDFs across your website, emails, or customer resources? Our document management system lets you replace a document without updating every place you’ve shared its link.

Share a permanent system link for catalogs, specification sheets, certifications, line cards, or installation guides. When a PDF changes, replace it in the system and keep using that link.

Use the system’s permanent links when you set up your documents. Copies already downloaded or attached to an email remain separate files.

Integration planning

Your ERP is part of discovery.

If you use Prophet 21, Infor, Epicor, or another business system, we first confirm the exact product and version, API or export options, licensing, and data access.

Account pricing, stock updates, purchasing portals, and order submission are requirements to scope. We do not assume a native connector or promise real-time integration before reviewing your system.

How the project works

Define the workflow before expanding the build.

1. Discover

Review your buyers, catalog, current site, quote process, and the systems that hold your data.

2. Scope & build

Agree on a useful first release, map fields and business rules, and develop the website or workflow.

3. Test & launch

Check product information, forms, mobile use, and handoff to your sales team before launch. Plan improvements around actual use.

Already have a website?

Start with the part that needs work.

A full rebuild is not always necessary. Tell us whether buyers struggle with finding products, requesting quotes, or getting information to the right person.

The free automated website audit covers general technical and marketing fundamentals. Catalog usability and ERP requirements need a separate review.

AI & custom software

Improve the work behind your distributor website.

AI consulting for business processes

Explore whether AI could help triage RFQs, find product information in approved sources, or organize recurring documents. Consultation reviews your workflow, data, and a useful first project.

Custom software & integrations

Connect sales tools with existing systems, build a customer or employee portal, or give staff an internal tool for reviewing requests. We scope the connections around your software and data access.
