Suppliers & Manufacturers
Getting into the channel is only the first half of the job.
Get products ready for the retailers and marketplaces you sell through, run inventory, orders and shipping once business buyers order, and see what the operation costs. mPorts gives suppliers and manufacturers the software to run their own B2B distribution marketplace, and one place to prepare products, run what follows and understand the numbers — without hiring a person for every new channel.
The shape of the problem
Making things well and running a sales channel well are different jobs. A factory that can produce reliably at volume may have no channel of its own for the business buyers it already knows, and nobody whose job it is to keep those orders straight once they arrive.
The second half is the one that surprises people. Winning the buyer is your sales work; keeping them is an operations problem, and it arrives all at once.
If you distribute rather than manufacture
Distributors, importers and wholesalers have their own page. Carrying other companies’ products across many suppliers is a different operation from making your own, and it is the one mPorts Distribution is built for.
Where mPorts fits
Get products ready to sell
One product record, mapped to each retailer’s requirements, validated and submitted — with a readiness verdict before you submit.
Run your own marketplace
mPorts Distribution is software for running your own B2B distribution marketplace, with the quotes, approvals and purchasing steps business buyers actually need.
Operate what follows
mPorts OMS handles orders, inventory, fulfillment and shipments across channels — including channels that have nothing to do with Distribution.
Connect what you have
mPorts OMS connects to your existing systems rather than requiring you to replace them.
Where to start
If you want a B2B channel you own for your buyers, start with Distribution. If orders already arrive and the work of serving them is the constraint, start with OMS. If nothing talks to anything, start with connectivity inside OMS.
Questions buyers ask
We already sell through distributors. Does this compete with them?
It does not have to. Distribution is the software for running your own marketplace; whether that sits alongside, behind or instead of existing distributors is a commercial decision you make, not one the software makes for you.
Do we need to replace our ERP?
No. mPorts is designed to run alongside the systems you already have and to connect to them. Keep the systems that work; mPorts can take on more of the operation where you need it.
