Your customers work in their trade software and expect the cart to be handed over and returned directly via IDS or UGL. On top of that come Datanorm article data, bulky goods on the building site and negotiated project prices. A B2C shop models none of this.

Our customers want to hand the cart straight over from their trade software via IDS.

Bulky goods and pallets break every standard shipping setup in the shop.

Every tradesperson has their own negotiated project prices.

Datanorm updates still land in the assortment by hand far too often.

What matters for Building Materials, Trade & HVAC

In HVAC and building-materials wholesale, the shop stands or falls with the connection to the trades. Your commercial customers work in their industry software and expect the cart to be handed over and returned cleanly via IDS or UGL – without double entry. On top of that, Datanorm article data has to flow into the assortment regularly and automatically, rather than being maintained by hand. We build exactly these interfaces with monitoring and clear error paths, so no Datanorm update and no cart gets quietly lost.

Logistics matters just as much as the interfaces. Bulky goods, pallets and freight delivery to the building site follow different rules than parcel shipping, and a B2C shop simply doesn't model that. Add to that negotiated object and project prices per customer, plus regional availability and pickup at the warehouse. We model this pricing and logistics logic directly in the shop and connect it to your ERP, instead of patching it together with a pile of plugins. That way the shop works in your customers' daily routine, not just in the demo.
