Project Overview

A Connected B2B Commerce Experience for Consumer Goods Brands

The Salesforce B2B Sales Portal empowers consumer goods companies to provide distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and channel partners with a self-service platform for ordering products, tracking shipments, managing accounts, accessing marketing materials, and collaborating with sales teams.

Industry

Consumer Goods, FMCG, Manufacturing & Distribution

Focus

B2B Sales, Partner Engagement & Salesforce Digital Experience

Order & Inventory Management

Provide real-time access to product availability, pricing, and order status.

Sales Collaboration

Improve communication between channel partners and internal sales teams.

Business Insights

The Challenge

Managing B2B Sales Across Multiple Distribution Channels

Consumer goods brands often rely on disconnected systems, manual order processing, and email-based communication, resulting in slower operations, limited visibility, and inconsistent partner experiences.

Manual Order Processing

Sales teams spend significant time processing partner orders and inquiries.

Limited Partner Visibility

Distributors lack real-time access to inventory, pricing, and shipment updates.

Inefficient Communication

Sales interactions rely on emails and phone calls, delaying responses.

Fragmented Customer Data

Partner information is stored across multiple systems.

Pricing & Promotion Complexity

Managing partner-specific pricing and promotions is time-consuming.

Limited Sales Analytics

Businesses struggle to monitor partner performance and sales trends.

Root Causes Identified

Absence of a unified digital platform for partner order management
Disconnected partner and account data across multiple systems
Manual and inconsistent sales communication workflows
Limited automation across pricing, promotions, and approvals
Complex multi-channel distribution without a shared platform
Inadequate real-time reporting and sales performance tracking
