Quick answer

- The portal sits on top of your ERP or storefront, not in place of it.

- Integrate with your ERP for heavy inventory needs.
In this guide
Distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers often take orders by email, phone and spreadsheets, and manage suppliers the same way. Customers want to order, reorder and check status themselves, and suppliers want a clear place to upload documents and see requirements. This page describes the B2B ordering and supplier portals Simple Automation Solutions builds on Bubble.io.
A portal does not replace your storefront, ERP or accounting system. It adds a controlled, branded layer for the people who order from you or supply you.
What do we build?
| Build | What it does | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale ordering portal | Customer-specific catalogues and prices, order forms, reorder and order history | Trade customers and sales staff |
| Quote request and approval flow | Request, price, approve and convert to an order | Customers and sales staff |
| Order and delivery status tracking | Clear status for each order, with notifications | Customers and operations |
| Supplier onboarding portal | Documents, certifications, expiry alerts and approval | Suppliers and procurement |
| Purchase order workflow | Create, approve and send purchase orders | Buyers and managers |
| Account manager dashboard | Customer activity, open orders and follow-ups | Sales and account managers |
| Document hub | Price lists, data sheets and compliance documents shared securely | Customers and suppliers |
What are the core workflows?
- Ordering: customers log in, see their own prices and place or repeat orders.
- Quotes: requests routed to sales, priced, approved and converted.
- Tracking: order and delivery status with notifications.
- Supplier compliance: document collection with expiry reminders.
- Approvals: purchase orders and exceptions routed to the right person.
How does it connect to your existing systems?
The portal usually integrates with your accounting, inventory or storefront system for products, prices and invoices, where those systems offer a suitable interface. Each integration adds scope and cost, so we list the essential ones for version 1. See what to cut before you build.
How do we handle privacy and access?
- Each customer sees only their own prices, orders and documents.
- Suppliers see only their own records and requirements.
- Staff roles control who can see costs and margins.
- Price lists are protected so one customer cannot see another’s terms.
- An audit trail records approvals and changes.
- Rules are enforced in the data and tested with multiple accounts before launch. See our security guide.
Professional, sector and data protection rules vary by country, and you remain responsible for yours. We build to support them, and recommend taking advice where regulated data is involved.
How does a project run?
- Free Idea Audit (30 minutes). We discuss your process and what hurts most.
- Discovery Sprint ($345). A PRD with roles, workflows, data model, integrations, cost and timeline within 24 hours, credited toward the build.
- Build. On a separate test version, with regular demos.
- Pilot. A small first group, then wider rollout with short guides.
- Launch and iterate. Improvements and support from $35 per hour, with no retainers or minimums.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on the PRD. The main drivers are user flows, roles, integrations, platform and data complexity. Typical launches take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. See our Bubble.io cost guide and realistic build schedules.

Build or buy?
- Your storefront or ERP already offers a B2B portal that fits.
- Your catalogue and pricing are simple and standard.
- You have few trade customers and a simple ordering process.
We would rather tell you to buy a product than sell you a build you do not need.
When are we not the right fit?
- You need a full ERP, inventory or warehouse management system. Integrate with the one you have.
- You need heavy real-time inventory across many locations.
- You need to own and run the source code.
- You need on-site support in a specific city.
