よくある質問
How does a B2B wholesale portal differ from a retail marketplace like Shopee?
Unlike public retail marketplaces, a B2B wholesale portal requires secure customer logins, hides pricing from the public, automatically applies customer-specific contract prices, supports credit terms like net 30/60/90, and enforces custom minimum order quantities.
Why would retail store owners want to use a self-service B2B portal?
Retailers adopt B2B portals because it gives them 24/7 ordering autonomy. They can reorder past orders from history in under 2 minutes, check live inventory status instantly, view their custom pre-negotiated prices, and download invoice papers without waiting for human confirmation.
Why is an ERP integration mandatory for a B2B ordering portal?
Without direct ERP integration, an e-commerce website operates in isolation. Your admin staff would still have to manually rekey orders from the website into the backend system, creating duplicate labor, inventory delays, and the high risk of overselling out-of-stock items.
What is the typical cost of developing an integrated B2B portal in Thailand?
Setting up the essential ERP backend integration takes approximately 25 to 50 man-days. At a flat industry rate of 7,000 THB per man-day, this core stage costs between 175,000 to 350,000 THB. Front-end portal extensions are then budgeted as additional scoped man-days at the same flat rate.
What is the best strategy to roll out a B2B sales portal to traditional retailers?
Rather than forcing all customers to migrate at once, launch a pilot program targeting your 20 most active accounts. Provide a brief 15-minute training session, provide easy-to-use user manuals, and incentivize adoption with temporary portal-exclusive benefits like 1% order discounts.
