Distribution businesses face a lot of pressures unique to your sector: massive sales quotas, delicate logistical challenges, strained supply chains, highly competitive contract bidding, and much much more. And so it’s critical that you run a smooth and consistent operation, at profitable margins, to ensure continued acquisition of the biggest and best distribution contracts from your manufacturing partners.
And once you win those big deals, the pressure is on to deliver the sales. Things can get very complicated very fast – especially when it comes to a) efficiently processing all the orders you’ll be inundated with b) integrating all the disparate softwares you’ll need to coordinate the puzzle pieces – your ERP, WMS, TMS, PIM, VMS and more.
What’s more, most ecommerce solutions are not well-suited for these types of challenges. Even many B2B-branded platforms are little more than a B2C base, with a handful of wholesale pricing features and little else.
And then there’s Cloudfy – truly the best-in-class B2B ecommerce software for distributors like you that comes out of the box with the most comprehensive set of trade-only features to help you simplify, save and scale your operation. Cloudfy is your one-stop shop to easily automate your order-to-cash (O2C) process and establish a deep integration between your ordering portal and your ERP – reducing your expenses and boosting your bottom line.

KEY FEATURES TO HELP DISTRIBUTORS SIMPLIFY, SAVE & SCALE
Custom Catalogs
If you need to restrict certain items you distribute to certain clientele, your Cloudfy storefront can be configured to determine which retailers, wholesalers or D2C clients can access which product ranges. This custom product catalog feature is just one of many tools you can use to provide your clients a truly personalized user experience.
Done-for-You Integration
Your Cloudfy solution comes pre-built with integration to popular ERP systems, so launching your connected ecommerce platform is as simple as a routine configuration task (done by Cloudfy). Plus, our talented team can very easy connect your new ordering portal to other back-office softwares: WMS, TMS, PIM, VMS, CRM and more.
Multi-Lingual & Currency
If you plan to distribute your goods cross-border, your Cloudfy solution makes it simple to do so with the flexibility to add multiple currencies which you can set manually using a site-wide calculator, a separate price list or automatically using real-time data. You can also add multiple languages either manually or dynamically.
D2C Configurations
If you plan to sell both B2B and D2C, your Cloudfy site makes it easy. You could either launch a hybrid site where trade-only clients login for trade-only pricing while consumers perform a guest checkout. Or you could launch a multi-site configuration. Either scenario uses a single Cloudfy instance so you can simplify your IT and save money in the process.
Integrated Ordering
Cloudfy gives you the ability to offer integrated ordering solutions to your larger clients, based on their unique connection requirements – whether that's EDI, XML, API, FTP, Punchout and more. Additionally, the integration can also work in reverse to populate your partners' systems and storefronts with your products and your stock counts in near real-time.
Multi Warehousing
Your Cloudfy store comes pre-built with powerful multi-warehousing configuration capabilities, powered by your ERP or WMS integration, to give your company all essential tools to efficiently manage multiple physical depots, virtual warehouses, and mobile storage locations. What's more, you can designate pickup locations, manage product ledgers and easily check stock.
