A B2B portal for
welding consumables reorders.
Shops reorder wire, rods, tips, and gas-related supplies on a rhythm. Put those SKUs in a private catalog with clear package sizes and account prices — so the next order arrives with line-item detail.
Example workflowExampleConsumables ordering fails when the unit is ambiguous
A buyer who orders four units needs to know whether that means four spools, four cases, or four pounds. Descriptions should state package weight, diameter, and classification together. When the portal makes the unit explicit, your fulfillment team and the buyer share the same expectation before the order is confirmed.
Start with the tail of high-frequency SKUs
You do not need every SKU online on day one. Import the consumables your best accounts purchase every month — MIG wire, common electrodes, tips, and nozzles. Validate one complete order with a pilot shop, then expand the catalog based on what they ask for next.
Keep application advice with your counter team
Process selection, alloy compatibility, and substitution questions belong in your sales workflow. The portal handles the repeat buy the shop already understands. That division keeps adoption practical instead of forcing every technical conversation through self-service.
