We need a scalable and automated B2B self-service portal to replace manual order management processes, enhance efficiency, and support the growth of our client base.
About the Client
BFS Group is a leading supplier in the wholesale and retail sector, providing a wide range of products to a diverse clientele. Known for their exceptional customer service, BFS Group continually strives to improve their operational processes to meet the growing demands of their clients.
Project Scope
BFS Group’s order management process heavily relied on manual tools like spreadsheets and email communication. These outdated systems led to delays, errors, and an inability to scale with the company’s growth. The reliance on email for order processing created bottlenecks, significantly impacting the speed and accuracy of their operations.
To overcome these challenges, DesignersX built a self-service B2B portal for BFS Group. The portal empowered retailers and sales representatives by automating order placement, streamlining workflows, and centralizing inventory and account management. The platform was optimized for both desktop and mobile use, ensuring accessibility for all users.
