B2B Ordering Without Friction: The e:corg Client Order Portal

B2B sales have traditionally been built around personal relationships, phone calls, and long email threads. While these methods worked in the past, they create delays, errors, and hidden costs today. Clients want speed and autonomy, while sales teams need efficiency.

This is where the e:corg Client Order Portal comes in — a modern self-service interface that allows customers to place, repeat, and track orders without friction. It connects directly to your ERP, completing the Lead-to-Quote → Order-to-Cash journey.

Unlike B2C, where online shops and apps are standard, B2B transactions are often more complex:

• High order volumes and custom pricing

• Credit limits, invoices, delivery terms

• Multiple stakeholders on the client side

This complexity has led many companies to stick with manual processes — but at a cost:

• Delays caused by missed emails or unavailable sales reps

• Incorrect product codes or pricing mistakes

• Sales managers spending 40–60% of their time on order entry instead of actual selling

In today’s competitive market, this approach is no longer sustainable.

According to global research (e.g., Gartner, McKinsey), more than 70% of B2B buyers now prefer digital self-service channels over traditional sales interactions.

Reasons are simple:

• Buyers want 24/7 access to place orders

• They expect instant confirmation, not waiting for callbacks

• They want to track their own history without depending on someone else

For suppliers, this trend means one thing: adapt or risk being left behind.

1. Full Order and Invoice History

Every client has a personalized dashboard showing:

• All past orders

• Delivery notes and invoices

• Payment status and due dates

This transparency reduces disputes and improves trust.

2. Quick Repeat Ordering

Clients can reorder their usual SKUs in seconds. No need to retype product codes or quantities — the portal remembers their preferences.

3. Instant Confirmation and Tracking

As soon as the order is placed, the client receives confirmation on screen and via email. The portal shows real-time status: “Order received → In preparation → Shipped → Delivered.”

4. Custom Pricing and Terms

Unlike generic B2C shops, the portal reflects each client’s agreed discounts, credit limits, and delivery conditions stored in e:corg.

5. Integration into the Lead-to-Cash Cycle

The portal is not just a front-end. It is fully integrated into your ERP, meaning:

• Quotes turn into orders with one click

• Orders create invoices automatically

• Payments and logistics are tracked in the same system

• Distributor of construction materials: clients order bulk cement, steel, or tools directly in the portal, with instant delivery scheduling.

• FMCG wholesaler: supermarkets place nightly replenishment orders without calling a sales rep.

• Manufacturer: B2B clients check spare parts availability, reorder frequently used items, and download invoices instantly.

In each scenario, both sides save hours of manual work.

1. Shorter Sales Cycles

Average time from request to confirmed order can drop from 2–3 days to under 1 hour.

2. Reduced Errors

Self-service eliminates manual entry mistakes. Companies report up to 90% fewer errors in order capture.

3. Sales Team Productivity

Sales reps can focus on upselling, cross-selling, and building relationships instead of being “order clerks.”

4. Better Client Retention

Providing clients with transparency and autonomy increases loyalty and repeat business.

5. Scalable Growth

Whether you serve 50 clients or 5,000, the portal scales without adding proportional sales headcount.

1. Log in to the self-service dashboard

2. Browse or search the catalog with real-time stock levels

3. Select items and add them to the order

4. See applied discounts and delivery options instantly

5. Submit order and receive instant confirmation

6. Track status and download related invoices anytime

Unlike standalone e-commerce plugins, the e:corg Client Order Portal is natively connected to ERP. This ensures:

• No double data entry

• Automatic compliance with accounting, taxation, and invoicing rules (including e-Factura for Romania)

• Real-time synchronization with stock, pricing, and logistics

B2B commerce is shifting towards autonomy, speed, and transparency. Companies that provide clients with ordering without friction will not only reduce costs but also strengthen long-term partnerships.

With the e:corg Client Order Portal, businesses can:

• Give clients the freedom to order anytime

• Gain efficiency in sales operations

• Close the loop from lead to cash seamlessly

For companies in Romania and beyond, the future of B2B sales is clear: self-service is no longer optional — it’s essential.
