Marketing for distributors: digitalization and B2B e-commerce for wholesale and logistics
If you're a distributor, wholesaler, or logistics provider, your business runs on volume and efficiency: massive catalogs, thousands of SKUs, recurring orders, and tight margins. We help you sell more online and work with less friction by connecting your B2B store, your marketplaces, and your ERP.

We'll tell you where to start digitalizing your distribution business. No obligation.
For distributors, digital transformation means moving your wholesale business onto a B2B e-commerce platform connected to your ERP, opening new channels on marketplaces, and automating recurring orders to boost efficiency. At induSmart, we help distributors, wholesalers, and logistics providers win more customers and work smarter: from your online catalog to integration with your ERP, so every order flows in automatically with nothing retyped.
The digital challenges in distribution and logistics
Distribution isn't won with a one-of-a-kind product, but with volume, assortment, and service. And that's exactly where the industry's most common digital problems show up.
The first is the massive catalog: thousands or tens of thousands of SKUs, with variants, customer-specific pricing, volume discounts, and constantly changing availability. Maintaining all that by hand on a website isn't feasible; it has to stay connected to your ERP.
The second is that your customers already want to buy online. Professional buyers request quotes, reorder, and check inventory after hours. If they don't have a B2B e-commerce site to do it on, they'll go to a supplier that does.
The third is operations: orders that come in by phone, email, or WhatsApp and that someone keys into the system by hand. Every manual step costs time, causes errors, and erodes margin in an industry where margins are already tight.
And the fourth is visibility: showing up when a buyer searches for “distributor of…” or “wholesaler of…,” and being present on the marketplaces where your customers already buy.
Marketing for distributors and wholesalers: how we help
We work on the two levers of your business: winning more customers and working with less friction, in an order that protects your margins.

Your sector, inside induSmart
What we do for distributors builds on our two core areas. The sales side (website, marketplaces, SEO, and campaigns) is handled under Attract clients.
The operations side (ERP integrations, order automation, and data) is handled under Work better. And to set your priorities before you invest, there's our digital copilot.
Who it is for
For distributors, wholesalers, and logistics providers that move a wide product range and want an online channel that actually saves them work and brings in customers.
We mainly work with companies with revenue between €2M and €25M: big enough for digitalization to move the needle, but without a large in-house IT department to handle everything.
Why us
Why digitalize your distribution business with induSmart
We know the realities of this industry: massive catalogs, customer-specific pricing, tight margins, and an ERP that runs everything. We don't build you a pretty website that's disconnected from your business; we build a B2B e-commerce platform that talks to your ERP and cuts manual work from the very first order.
And we're technology-agnostic: we use the tool that best fits your ERP and your operations, not the one we'd most like to sell. Lead generation and operations under one team, with a view that runs from lead to delivery.
We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions
What is B2B e-commerce for distributors?
It's an online store designed for business customers, not consumers: customer-specific pricing, volume discounts, minimum orders, shopping lists, and easy reordering.
We connect it to your ERP so your catalog, inventory, and pricing are always up to date. See B2B e-commerce.
I have thousands of SKUs. Is it feasible?
Yes, and that's exactly where it makes the most sense. A large catalog is unmanageable by hand, but synced with your ERP, it maintains itself.
We build the integrations so new products and changes flow through without double entry.
What about B2B marketplaces?
They're an additional channel for reaching buyers who are already there. We help you get listed without duplicating admin work, feeding the marketplaces from the same catalog.
Learn more about B2B marketplaces.
Can you connect to my ERP?
Yes. We connect your e-commerce platform to your ERP through APIs or integrations, whether it's Odoo or another system. That way, orders come in automatically and nothing gets retyped.
We're vendor-agnostic: we work with your current ERP.
How does it help me win new customers?
With SEO so you show up when someone searches for “distributor of…” or “wholesaler of…,” and with paid media campaigns to reach buyers who are actively looking.
The goal isn't traffic; it's orders.
How long does it take to get the e-commerce site ready?
It depends on the size of your catalog and the complexity of the integration, but a first working version is usually up and running in weeks.
We start with what saves the most margin and work, not with everything at once.
