Known organizations and users
Cresco starts with known locations and users with their own access, roles and relevant products.
Ordering portal versus B2B webshop
Ordering portal or B2B webshop: which fits your network?
A B2B webshop is often designed to sell to customers. An ordering portal such as Cresco is designed for a known network of locations, franchisees or dealers working within central rules, permissions and catalogs.
The main difference is the relationship and workflow
Catalog by location
Not every buyer needs to see the same offer; head office controls what is available by location.
Ordering and delivery workflow
The focus is on ordering rounds, changes, delivery and follow-up rather than online acquisition or consumer commerce.
Which solution fits which problem?
- 01
Choose a B2B webshop when product presentation, open catalog browsing and commercial selling are central.
- 02
Choose an ordering portal when a known network needs to order within central rules.
- 03
Use location, role and catalog rules to show users only relevant choices.
- 04
Keep order and delivery in one operational workflow afterwards.
Cresco is logical when
you work with a fixed network of locations, franchisees or dealers
catalogs, delivery units or ordering moments are centrally defined
the order is part of an operational process rather than only a sales transaction
a public webshop offers more functionality than your network actually needs
