Our role
Workflow planning, application development, commerce integrations, and delivery.
An established distributor needed online ordering to reflect the way its business customers actually buy. Each account carried its own pricing, purchasing rules, saved lists, and approval process. Node59 connected those requirements to the existing commerce platform, bringing account management and repeat ordering into one flow. Buyers, account managers, and operations teams can work from the same account information as an order moves from product selection through review.
Starting with the customer's working day
The account area brings the information and actions attached to each buying relationship into one view. Customers can return between orders and continue with the account context already in place, while account managers work from the same information. The application carries that context into each purchase, making repeat ordering easier to follow and reducing the need to reconstruct the customer's arrangements with every new order.
Bringing business rules into the buying journey
The price a buyer sees depends on the account behind the order. Node59 connected tailored pricing and quantity rules to the storefront, translating commercial arrangements into the buying workflow. Account terms, pricing rules, and the current order remain connected as products and quantities change. Buyers see the pricing relevant to their account, while account and operations teams can review how those rules apply to the purchase.
Giving familiar purchases a shorter path
Saved lists keep frequently purchased products together and give repeat orders a clearer starting point. Customers can bring a familiar set of items into the current order while retaining the pricing and purchasing rules attached to their account. Node59 connected the lists to the wider ordering workflow, keeping product selection, account context, and order review together as customers return to buy again.
Connecting buying with the work behind it
Order approvals connect the purchase to the internal review required by each account. Buyers, account managers, and operations teams can see what needs attention and follow the decisions attached to the order. Shared application rules carry account pricing, saved lists, and approval steps through the same process. The result is a more consistent way to manage repeat buying across many customer relationships.
