our call
Start with BundleB2B — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
BundleB2B
BundleB2B acts as a complete sub-OS for wholesale commerce, managing multi-tier customer hierarchies, SKU contract prices, and quote approvals directly tied into store APIs. While building a basic B2B registration form with tier discounts is fast, implementing dynamic price resolution at checkout scale and complex account permissions requires significant engineering.

- Quick order pad with CSV SKU bulk upload
- Basic request-for-quote (RFQ) webform
- Simple customer group discount tags
- Invoice download and history portal
- Reorder SKU list tables
what you lose
- Pre-built multi-tier company division and sub-buyer hierarchy permissions
- High-performance contract price resolution for large SKU matrices
- Sales rep ordering masquerading with audit logs
- Native checkout price scripts integration for platform storefronts
- Automated purchase order limit approval chains
real moats
- Deep platform-native checkout API injection and cart scripts
- High-throughput pricing resolution engine handling thousands of custom price lists
- Pre-tested ERP synchronization connectors for wholesale customer data

TradeCentric
Building a custom PunchOut proxy for a known, single enterprise buyer (e.g., SAP Ariba to Shopify) takes a few weeks of TypeScript work. Replacing TradeCentric as a general-purpose hub for 50+ enterprise buyers using custom cXML/EDI schemas requires a dedicated integration ops team.
you can rebuild
- Basic cXML PunchOutSetupRequest parsing and response generation.
- Session token handshake and cart transfer (PunchOutOrderMessage generation).
- Standard cXML Purchase Order (OrderRequest) ingestion to Shopify Draft Orders.
- Outbound cXML InvoiceDetailRequest dispatch on fulfillment.
- Basic transaction log dashboard for session status and PO tracking.
what you lose
- Turnkey connectivity to 150+ eProcurement systems (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Jaggaer, Oracle, Workday).
- Dedicated integration engineers who interface directly with enterprise buyer IT teams during testing.
- Pre-built handling of thousands of vendor-specific cXML and OCI schema deviations.
- Managed monitoring and alerts for partner-side endpoint outages and SSL failures.
- ISO 27001 certified data handling for enterprise procurement compliance.
real moats
- Human-managed onboarding and white-glove setup teams for enterprise procurement buyer testing.
- Deep library of non-standard cXML/EDI parser edge cases built over a decade of buyer integrations.
- 3-year enterprise lock-in contracts with $100M+ revenue suppliers.
