B2B Ecommerce for Manufacturers: A Guide

Here’s something wild: there’s a $32 trillion B2B ecommerce market out there, and most manufacturers are still relying on phone calls and fax orders to get a piece of it.

Yeah, you read that right. In 2025, when your buyers are ordering everything else online—from office supplies to enterprise software—they’re still waiting on hold to place orders with you.

Look, we get it. You’ve built your business on distributor relationships and personal service. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: your buyers don’t want to call anymore. They want to browse your catalog at 11 PM, configure products themselves, and get instant pricing without talking to anyone.

The manufacturers who’ve figured this out? They’re seeing 39% revenue growth while cutting operational costs by 30%. The ones still clinging to the old model? They’re watching market share evaporate as digital-first competitors eat their lunch.

At Voxturr, we’ve helped manufacturers make this exact transition—from traditional sales models to high-performing digital commerce engines. And honestly? Once you see the numbers, the decision becomes pretty obvious.

Let’s break down exactly how B2B ecommerce works for manufacturers and why you probably should’ve started yesterday.

Why Manufacturers Actually Need B2B Ecommerce?

Most manufacturers still push 70% of their sales through distributors. Which made total sense… in 1995.

Today? Your buyers are engineers and procurement managers who grew up ordering everything on Amazon. They expect self-service portals with real-time inventory, bulk pricing calculators, and mobile ordering. When you force them to call a sales rep for a quote, you’re not providing “personal service” you’re creating friction.

Here’s what’s actually happening in modern B2B purchasing:

Your buyer needs 500 units of a specific component. It’s Tuesday at 2 PM. Do they:

A) Call your sales team, leave a voicemail, wait for a callback, request a quote, wait for pricing, negotiate, then wait for order confirmation?

B) Log into your portal, check real-time inventory, configure exactly what they need, see instant pricing, and place the order in 8 minutes?

If you only offer option A, guess what? They’re checking out your competitor who offers option B.

The Real Problem: Procurement Delays Are Killing Deals

Let’s talk about what actually frustrates your buyers:

Waiting for quotes. The old process takes days. Your competitor’s ecommerce site gives instant pricing. Who do you think wins that deal?

Can’t order outside business hours. Your buyer has budget approval on Friday evening. Your sales team is gone for the weekend. By Monday, they’ve already ordered from someone else.

No mobile access. Your buyer is on a job site and needs to reorder parts. They can’t access your catalog from their phone. That’s a lost order.

Opaque inventory. They need 1,000 units by next Tuesday. Your sales rep says “let me check and get back to you.” Your competitor’s site shows exactly how many are in stock and when they’ll ship. Deal lost.

This isn’t hypothetical. This is happening every single day to manufacturers who haven’t adapted.

Why “But We Have Great Distributor Relationships” Isn’t a Strategy

We hear this constantly: “Our distributors handle all this digital stuff, so we don’t need to.”

Cool. Here’s what’s also true:

Your distributors are taking 20-40% margins on your products. When you sell direct via ecommerce, you keep that margin. Even after accounting for fulfillment costs, you’re looking at 10-15% higher margins on direct sales.

Your distributors don’t give you customer data. You have no idea who’s actually buying your products, what they’re ordering, or why. With your own ecommerce platform, you own that data—and you can use it for everything from product development to targeted marketing.

Your distributors sell your competitors’ products too. They’re not loyal to you—they’re loyal to whoever gives them the best margin or the easiest sale. When you control the customer relationship, you control your destiny.

Look, we’re not saying fire all your distributors tomorrow. But putting all your eggs in that basket while your buyers are screaming for digital options? That’s playing defense in a game where offense wins.

Why Should Manufacturers Invest in B2B Ecommerce?

Let’s cut through the fluff and talk numbers.

Manufacturers who’ve implemented B2B ecommerce are seeing 39% revenue growth compared to those who haven’t. Not 3%. Not 15%. Thirty-nine percent.

Why? Because they’re capturing demand that old-school processes simply can’t handle:

The “I need this now” buyer who’s working late and wants to place an order immediately—not wait until business hours to call someone.

The “I do my own research” buyer who wants to compare specs, check compatibility, and configure products without a sales pitch.

The “I order in bulk” buyer who needs volume pricing instantly, not after three days of back-and-forth.

The “I’m not in your time zone” buyer from emerging markets who can’t easily call during your business hours.

Every single one of these buyers represents revenue you’re leaving on the table without ecommerce.

The Math That Makes CFOs Pay Attention

Here’s what the investment typically looks like:

Revenue impact: The B2B ecommerce market is growing 14.5% annually. By tapping into direct sales, manufacturers typically boost revenue by 25-40% within two years.

Margin improvement: Direct sales channels deliver 10-15% higher margins than distributor sales. On a $10M revenue base, that’s an extra $1-1.5M going straight to your bottom line.

Cost reduction: Process automation cuts operational costs by 30%+. Manual order entry, phone tag, quote generation, error correction—all that expensive overhead disappears when buyers self-serve.

Customer lifetime value: When you own the customer relationship, you can nurture it. That means higher repeat purchase rates, better upsell opportunities, and actual loyalty instead of price shopping.

At Voxturr, we’ve helped manufacturers run these exact projections. The ROI usually becomes obvious pretty fast. Want to see what the numbers look like for your specific business? Our B2B marketing team can walk you through it.

What You’re Really Buying Into

This isn’t just about setting up a shopping cart. You’re investing in:

24/7 revenue generation. Your sales team sleeps. Your e-commerce platform doesn’t.

Scalability without headcount. Growing sales used to mean hiring more sales reps. Now it means optimising your platform.

Data ownership. You finally know exactly who’s buying, what they’re buying, and why. That intel is worth its weight in gold.

Global reach. Want to expand into new markets? Your e-commerce platform can reach Singapore as easily as Scranton.

Competitive survival. Blunt truth? In five years, manufacturers without strong digital commerce will be seen as outdated. Your buyers will assume you can’t keep up.

The Real Benefits of Ecommerce for Manufacturers

Okay, so you’re sold on the “why”. Now let’s talk about what actually happens when you implement this right.

Efficiency That Actually Moves the Needle

First up: integration with your existing systems. If your e-commerce platform isn’t talking to your ERP, you’re just creating another silo to manage. Not helpful.

Done right, here’s what happens:

Real-time inventory sync. Your ecommerce site shows exactly what’s in stock across all warehouses. No more “let me check and call you back.” No more overselling items that are out of stock.

Automatic pricing updates. When costs change or you run a promotion, pricing updates across all channels instantly. No manual spreadsheet updates. No pricing errors that cost you money.

Order accuracy improvements. Manual order entry has error rates around 5-10%. Automated systems? Less than 1%. That’s a 40% reduction in costly mistakes that require customer service intervention and rush shipments to fix.

One manufacturer we worked with was spending 20 hours a week just correcting order entry errors. After implementing integrated e-commerce? That dropped to under 2 hours. That’s 18 hours of productive time returned to the business every single week.

Self-Service That Buyers Actually Want

Here’s what traditional B2B sales looks like from your buyer’s perspective:

“I need to check specs on three different components to make sure they’re compatible. I have to call and request spec sheets for each one. Then I have to wait for those to arrive via email. Then I need to request a quote. Then I wait for pricing. Then I need to check if you have stock. Then I wait again.”

Total time? Could be days.

Here’s what modern B2B e-commerce looks like:

“I search for the component category. I filter by the specs I need. I download CAD files and spec sheets instantly. I add items to the cart and see volume pricing in real time. I check inventory. I place the order. I get a confirmation with tracking info.”

Total time? 15 minutes.

Which experience do you think wins?

Technical documentation on demand. Buyers can access product specs, CAD files, installation guides, and compliance certificates without asking anyone. This is huge for technical buyers who need detailed info to make decisions.

Instant RFQ processing. Request for Quote forms that used to take 2-3 days to generate? Now they’re automated and instant. Buyers get pricing immediately or—for custom jobs—your system automatically routes the RFQ to the right person with all the details already captured.

Configuration tools. For products with options (sizes, finishes, specs), buyers can configure exactly what they need and see how it affects pricing in real-time. No more phone calls to explore “what if” scenarios.

This isn’t just convenient for buyers—it’s massively efficient for you. Your sales team stops being order-takers and starts being consultants for complex deals that actually need human expertise.

Analytics That Tell You What’s Actually Working

Here’s something nobody talks about enough: B2B ecommerce gives you data you’ve never had access to before.

What products are people viewing but not buying? Maybe pricing is wrong. Maybe the product description sucks. Maybe you need better images. Without ecommerce, you’d never know.

What’s your actual cart abandonment rate? If 60% of people add items to cart but never complete checkout, that’s not a “maybe someday” lead—that’s a problem with your checkout flow that’s costing you real revenue right now.

Which customers are ready for upsells? Your analytics show Customer A orders Product X every 6 weeks like clockwork. Similar companies commonly purchase Product Y alongside X, but they have never purchased it. That’s a qualified upsell opportunity handed to your sales team on a silver platter.

Where are your highest-value leads coming from? You might think your trade show presence drives the best leads. But your data shows LinkedIn content actually delivers customers a 3x higher lifetime value. Now you know where to invest.

This kind of intelligence transforms your entire go-to-market strategy. You stop guessing and start knowing.

At Voxturr, we help manufacturers set up analytics frameworks that actually answer business questions—not just generate pretty dashboards nobody looks at. It’s one of those unglamorous things that quietly drives massive results.

Step-by-Step Implementation Roadmap

Alright, enough theory. Let’s talk about how you actually do this without blowing up your existing business.

Step 1: Assess Your Needs

Most manufacturers want to jump straight to “which platform should we use?” Wrong question. First question: “What are we trying to solve?”

Map your buyer journeys. How do different customer segments actually purchase from you today? The aerospace buyer placing $500K orders once a quarter is entirely different from the small shop ordering $2K of components monthly. They need different experiences.

Segment by volume and complexity. Your catalog might have 10,000 SKUs, but 80% of revenue probably comes from 500 SKUs. Do you need full ecommerce for everything, or can you phase this in?

Identify ERP gaps. What’s your current system actually capable of? Can it handle real-time inventory updates? Does it support volume pricing matrices? Be honest about limitations before you start.

Talk to customers. Revolutionary idea: actually ask your buyers what they want. You might think they need Feature X. They might tell you Feature Y would close deals faster. Listen.

We’ve seen manufacturers spend six months building elaborate product configurators that nobody uses because buyers really just wanted faster quote turnaround. Don’t be that company.

Step 2: Select Your Platform

The platform choice matters, but probably less than you think. Here’s the reality:

For most manufacturers: Shopify Plus or Adobe Commerce (Magento) will handle 90% of your needs. They’re proven, they integrate well, and they scale.

What actually matters:

• B2B-specific features (tiered pricing, quote requests, account management)
• Integration with your ERP (this is non-negotiable)
• Mobile optimization (your buyers aren’t all sitting at desks)
• Customization flexibility (because your needs will evolve)

What doesn’t matter as much as you think:

• Fancy design templates (you’ll customize anyway)
• Edge-case features you might need someday (you can add them later)
• Vendor marketing hype about “revolutionary AI features”

Red flags to avoid:

• Platforms that don’t integrate with your ERP
• Vendors who can’t show manufacturing clients similar to you
• Solutions that require complete business process overhaul to implement

Here’s our advice: Pick a platform that 5-10 companies in your industry are successfully using. They’ve already debugged the hard problems. Learn from them.

Step 3: Build Your Catalog

This is where things get real. You need to translate your product catalog into digital format, and it’s more work than you think.

Product data architecture:

• Detailed specs (not marketing fluff—engineers want numbers)
• High-quality images (multiple angles, in-context shots)
• Technical documentation (CAD files, spec sheets, compliance docs)
• Compatibility information (what works with what)

Advanced features to consider:

• Product configurators for customizable items
• Cross-sell recommendations based on actual purchase patterns
• Multi-warehouse inventory display
• Lead time calculators based on real production schedules

The temptation: Upload everything at once and go live.

The smarter move: Start with your top-selling products. Get those perfect. Learn from real user behavior. Then expand.

One manufacturer client launched with their top 200 SKUs (out of 5,000 total). Those 200 represented 70% of revenue. They got the platform working smoothly, learned what customers actually needed, then added the rest of the catalog over six months. Way better than trying to perfect 5,000 SKUs before launch.

Step 4: Integration and Launch

This is the technically intensive part. Your ecommerce platform needs to talk to:

Your ERP: For inventory, pricing, and order processing Your CRM: For customer data and sales team coordination
Your payment processor: For secure transactions Your shipping systems: For fulfillment and tracking

Testing is not optional. Before you go live:

✓ Process test orders through the entire workflow
✓ Verify inventory updates in real-time
✓ Confirm pricing calculations for volume discounts
✓ Check mobile experience on actual devices
✓ Test with real customers in a beta program

Launch smart: Don’t announce to your entire customer base on day one. Start with a pilot group of tech-savvy customers who’ll give you honest feedback. Fix the inevitable issues. Then expand.

What usually breaks:

• Volume pricing calculations (test these extensively)
• Mobile checkout flows (always clunkier than desktop)
• Integration timing (inventory updates lagging by hours)
• Edge cases in your product catalog (that weird SKU nobody thought about)

Better to find these issues with 50 friendly beta users than 5,000 frustrated customers.

Step 5: Scale and Optimize Post-Launch

Launch is not the finish line—it’s mile marker 1.

Month 1-3: Fix obvious problems, smooth the rough edges, train your team

Month 4-6: Start analysing data. What’s working? What’s not? Where are people dropping off?

Month 6-12: Add advanced features based on actual user behaviour:

• AI-powered product recommendations
• Personalized pricing based on purchase history
• Advanced search and filtering
• Integration with procurement systems (EDI, punchout catalogs)

The ongoing work:

• Monthly analytics reviews
• Quarterly feature prioritization
• Continuous catalog improvements
• Regular user feedback sessions

This isn’t “set it and forget it.” Treat your ecommerce platform like a product that needs constant improvement.

Marketing and Growing Your B2B eCommerce Business

You’ve built the platform. Now you need to actually drive traffic and conversions. This is where most manufacturers completely drop the ball.

Here’s the thing: building it doesn’t mean they’ll come. You need a real marketing strategy.

B2B Content Marketing Strategies

Content marketing for B2B ecommerce isn’t about viral blog posts. It’s about being genuinely useful to your buyers during their research phase.

What actually works:

Technical guides: “How to Select the Right [Your Product Category] for [Specific Application]”—real, detailed, useful information that helps buyers make informed decisions.

Case studies: Show how Customer X used your products to solve Problem Y, with actual numbers and results. Engineers love this stuff.

Comparison content: “Material A vs. Material B: Which Is Right for Your Application?” Be objective. Your buyers are smart—they’ll respect honesty.

Webinars: Deep dives into technical topics, featuring your engineers. This positions you as the expert and generates qualified leads.

The key difference from B2C? B2B buying cycles are long (often 3-6 months). Your content needs to nurture leads over time, not drive immediate conversions.

Target keywords that matter:

Generic terms like “industrial components” are useless. You want specific, buyer-intent terms:

• “B2B ecommerce platform for manufacturers”
• “[Your product category] bulk pricing”
• “[Specific component] technical specifications”
• “How to source [industry-specific need]”

At Voxturr, we help manufacturers identify the exact search terms their buyers use and create content that ranks for those terms. It’s not about traffic volume it’s about attracting the right traffic. Our B2B content marketing approach focuses on quality over quantity every time.

Repurpose ruthlessly:

One detailed guide becomes:

• 5 LinkedIn posts highlighting key insights
• 3 short videos explaining specific concepts
• 1 email nurture sequence
• Multiple landing pages targeting related keywords

You get 3x the engagement with the same base content investment.

Creating Valuable Content for B2B Buyers

Your buyers don’t want marketing fluff. They want information that helps them do their job better.

What procurement teams actually need:

ROI calculators: “Input your current costs and see potential savings with our solution.” These work incredibly well because they’re personalised to each buyer’s situation.

Compliance documentation: Certifications, test results, material safety data sheets—make this stuff easy to find and download.

Total cost of ownership analysis: Don’t just show product price. Show installation costs, maintenance expenses, lifespan, and total cost over time. This helps buyers justify purchases to their bosses.

Format variety matters:

Video demos: Show the product in action. A 2-minute video often communicates more than a 2,000-word document.

Whitepapers: For decision-makers who need comprehensive information to build internal business cases.

Quick reference guides: One-page PDFs that engineers can print and keep at their desk.

Interactive tools: Product selectors, compatibility checkers, sizing calculators anything that helps buyers self-serve.

Personalization drives conversions:

Generic “Here’s our catalog” content doesn’t cut it anymore. Segment your audience and tailor content to their specific challenges:

• By industry: Construction applications vs. aerospace applications require different messaging
• By company size: Small shops vs. enterprise buyers have different priorities
• By role: Engineers want technical specs; procurement wants pricing and terms

Personalized content nurtures convert about 20% higher than generic blasts. That’s not a small difference—that’s the difference between profitable and struggling.

SEO for B2B eCommerce

Most manufacturer SEO strategies are… not great. Typically, the approach is to focus on our product names and hope for the best results.

Here’s what actually works:

Long-tail keyword research:

Use tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs to find what buyers actually search for. It’s usually not what you think.

You might think people search “industrial fasteners”. They actually search “stainless steel hex bolts grade 8 bulk supplier”. That second phrase has way less competition and way higher purchase intent.

Build topical authority:

Don’t just create random blog posts. Build comprehensive content clusters around core topics.

Main pillar: “B2B Ecommerce for Manufacturers” (this guide you’re reading) Supporting content:

• “How to Choose a B2B Ecommerce Platform”
• “B2B Ecommerce Integration Best Practices”
• “B2B Ecommerce ROI Calculator”
• “Case Study: [Manufacturer] 3x Revenue with B2B Ecommerce”

Google sees you as an authority on the topic and ranks all this content higher.

Technical SEO fundamentals:

Mobile speed: Your site needs to load in under 3 seconds on mobile. Buyers won’t wait. Use Google PageSpeed Insights to identify problems.

Schema markup: Add structured data to product pages so Google can display rich snippets in search results (price, availability, ratings).

Clean URL structure: /products/category/product-name not /p?id=12345&cat=xyz

XML sitemaps: Make sure Google can actually find and crawl all your product pages.

This stuff isn’t sexy, but it’s the foundation that makes everything else work.

PPC for B2B eCommerce

Paid search for B2B ecommerce requires a different approach than consumer goods.

High-intent keywords that convert:

Don’t waste money on broad terms, like “manufacturing”. Target specific buyer-intent queries:

• “wholesale [product] supplier”
• “[product] bulk pricing”
• “buy [specific component] online.”
• “[product] same-day shipping”

These searches have high commercial intent. People searching these terms are ready to buy.

Remarketing is your secret weapon:

Someone requested a quote but didn’t convert? Hit them with a remarketing ad highlighting your fast turnaround or volume discounts.

Someone abandoned their cart? Show them an ad with a time-limited offer or free shipping threshold.

Remarketing campaigns often deliver 2-4x ROI of cold traffic campaigns because you’re targeting people already familiar with you.

Budget allocation:

Start with 20% of budget on testing. Try different audience segments, ad copy variations, and landing page approaches. Once you find winners, scale those.

Landing page requirements:

Your PPC landing pages need:

• ✓ Quick quote forms (3 fields max)
• ✓ Clear value proposition above the fold
• ✓ Trust signals (certifications, client logos, reviews)
• ✓ Mobile-optimized layout
• ✓ Fast load time

Sending PPC traffic to your homepage is burning money. Send them to targeted pages that match their search intent.

Email Marketing and Account-Based Marketing (ABM)

Email still works ridiculously well for B2B manufacturers. Here’s how to actually use it:

Segmentation is everything:

Don’t send the same email to everyone. Segment by:

• Role: Engineers need technical specs; procurement needs pricing
• Industry: Different applications require different messaging
• Purchase history: First-time buyers vs. repeat customers need different approaches
• Engagement level: Hot leads get different content than cold prospects

Personalized sequences that convert:

Welcome series for new accounts:

1. Confirmation + account setup tips
2. Popular products in their industry
3. Case study from similar company
4. Volume pricing preview
5. Quick reorder reminder

Dynamic content works:

Show different product recommendations based on browsing history. Display personalized pricing for their account tier. Feature content relevant to their industry.

ABM for high-value accounts:

For your top 50 target accounts, go deep:

• Custom landing pages featuring their industry/use case
• Personalized video messages from your sales team
• One-on-one webinar invitations
• Exclusive early access to new products

ABM accounts typically deliver 30% higher deal sizes because you’re treating them like the VIPs they are.

Automation that doesn’t feel automated:

Set up triggered emails based on behavior:

• Viewed product but didn’t order → Send related products
• Regular customer hasn’t ordered in 60 days → Check-in email
• Quote request abandoned → Follow-up with incentive
• Order shipped → Cross-sell complementary products

The best automation feels personal. Test everything and kill what doesn’t work.

The Future of B2B Ecommerce for Manufacturers

Let’s wrap up with where this is all heading—because the pace of change isn’t slowing down.

AI and Personalization Will Become Table Stakes

By 2030, AI-powered personalisation won’t be a competitive advantage it’ll be a basic expectation.

What’s coming:

Predictive ordering: Your platform knows Customer A reorders Product X every 6 weeks. It proactively suggests reordering at the optimal time with one click.

Dynamic pricing optimisation: AI analyses demand, inventory levels, customer history, and competitive pricing to suggest optimal prices in real time.

Conversational commerce: Chatbots that actually work. “I need 500 units of SKU-12345 delivered to our Phoenix facility by next Tuesday. Can you do that?” “Yes, we have stock. Standard pricing is $X, but I can offer $Y for this volume. Confirm?”

Visual search: Upload a photo of a component and get instant matches from your catalogue, even if you don’t know the part number.

Early adopters are already seeing 20-30% conversion rate improvements from AI personalisation. That gap will only widen.

Headless Commerce Enables Flexibility

Traditional ecommerce platforms tightly couple the frontend (what customers see) with the backend (inventory, pricing, order management).

Headless commerce separates these layers. Why does this matter?

You can have:

• One backend managing all your product data and inventory
• Multiple frontends: main ecommerce site, mobile app, EDI integrations, marketplace connections, custom portals for major accounts

This architecture lets you move faster. Want to test a new mobile experience? Build it without touching your core platform. Want to sell on Amazon Business? Plug it in without rebuilding everything.

Headless implementations are being built 40% faster than traditional platforms because teams can work in parallel.

AR and VR Will Reduce Returns and Increase Confidence

Augmented reality isn’t just for consumer apps anymore.

Industrial applications:

Product visualisation: See how a large piece of equipment fits in your facility before ordering. Check clearances, access points, and integration with existing equipment—all in AR.

Configuration preview: Customise a product with different options and see exactly what you’ll receive, reducing “that’s not what I expected” returns.

Training and installation: AR guides showing step-by-step installation instructions overlaid on the actual equipment.

Early data shows AR product previews reduce returns by 25% and increase buyer confidence (leading to higher order values).

Blockchain for Supply Chain Transparency

Manufacturers with complex supply chains are exploring blockchain to provide:

Provenance tracking: Prove exactly where materials came from and how they were handled—critical for regulated industries.

Authenticity verification: Combat counterfeit components with immutable tracking from manufacture to delivery.

Smart contracts: Automate payments and order confirmations based on delivery milestones.

This isn’t mainstream yet, but it’s coming, especially for high-value or highly regulated products.

The Quick Reference: What’s Coming When

Trend	Primary Benefit	Adoption Timeline
AI Dynamic Pricing	20-30% conversion lift	2026+
Headless Commerce	40% faster platform builds	Now
AR Product Preview	25% fewer returns	2026-2027
Predictive Ordering	15-20% efficiency gain	2027+
Blockchain Tracking	Supply chain transparency	2028+

The bottom line? The manufacturers who start building their digital commerce capabilities now will be positioned to adopt these innovations as they mature. Those who wait will be playing catch-up while competitors race ahead.

Conclusion: Your Move

Here’s where we are: B2B ecommerce isn’t a “nice to have” anymore. It’s how buyers expect to purchase, especially the next generation of procurement managers and engineers who grew up buying everything online.

The manufacturers are sitting on the sidelines? They’re watching market share erode as digital-first competitors make buying easier, faster, and more transparent.

What you should do next:

If you haven’t started: Audit your current sales process. Map out where buyers are experiencing friction. Talk to customers about what they actually want. Then start with a pilot—test ecommerce with your top 20% of products and a small group of customers.

If you have a basic platform: Analyse your data ruthlessly. Where are people dropping off? What products are viewed but not purchased? What features are customers asking for? Prioritise improvements based on revenue impacts.

If you’re scaling: Focus on advanced personalisation, international expansion, and integration with customer procurement systems. Look at emerging tech, like AI pricing and AR visualisation.

The $47 trillion B2B ecommerce market is growing fast. The question isn’t whether to participate; it’s how quickly you can capture your share.

Need help figuring out your specific roadmap? At Voxturr, we’ve helped manufacturers across industries—from industrial components to specialised equipment—build e-commerce strategies that drive revenue. Our B2B marketing team can walk you through a customised assessment of your opportunities and help you avoid the expensive mistakes we’ve seen others make.

Time to get moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can complex manufactured products really be sold online?

Yes. But you need the right approach. Standardised products can go straight to checkout. Custom or complex products can use online quote requests that integrate with your sales process. It’s not all or nothing.

How do we handle custom engineering and specifications?

Build a clear path for customers to submit specifications through your platform. Capture the key details digitally, then route to your engineering team for review and quote. You’re still adding value in the process—you’re just making the initial request more efficient.

What about customers who prefer traditional sales?

They can keep calling. Nothing about e-commerce eliminates your sales team—it just gives customers options. Some will love the convenience of online ordering. Others will still want phone contact. Let them choose their own journey.
