COMPETITOR COMPARISON

Why Elastic Suite Outperforms B2C Platforms for B2B Wholesale

B2C Platforms, like Shopify Plus

Designed for DTC sales, these platforms struggle with the complexities of B2B wholesale, requiring third-party apps to fill critical gaps.

Elastic Suite, Built for B2B

Advanced B2B-specific tools like preseason planning, bulk ordering, and ERP integrations empower brands to scale efficiently without workarounds.

Expanding operations

Is your B2C platform right for B2B wholesale?

If your brand already uses a B2C e-commerce platform like Shopify Plus, expanding your B2B wholesale business on the same platform seems like a natural next step, right? Not necessarily. While using a single platform may seem simpler, B2C platforms often struggle to meet the complex needs of wholesale businesses and rely on complicated third-party tools to work effectively.

Elastic Suite is designed specifically for B2B Wholesale and offers the advanced tools, options, integrations, and workflows that brands need to scale and streamline their wholesale operations.

ELASTIC SUITE’s PLATFORM

Built for wholesale,
not adapted for it.

Brands and buyers expect a personalized B2B ordering experience that is as seamless as B2C while still addressing the unique needs of wholesale. Elastic Suite’s interactive tools empower sales teams to easily create simple and complex wholesale orders, helping them scale efficiently. Unlike Shopify Plus and other B2C-focused platforms, Elastic offers powerful features like preseason planning, multi-date scheduling, and multi-ship options, allowing brands to better plan, manage, and optimize their inventory. Here are a few other key differentiators:

ERP & Inventory Integration

B2C-first platforms require middleware or 3rd party support for inventory syncing. Elastic’s native ERP and PLM integrations ensure real-time inventory, pricing, and order status updates.

B2B Pricing & Custom Multi-Ship

Shopify Plus relies on static price lists and simple discounts. Elastic offers advanced pricing options, such as contract pricing, volume discounts, regional inventory control, and flexible shipping.

Bulk & Matrix Ordering

Elastic streamlines high-volume buys with an intuitive interface that B2C-first platforms lack.

Preseason & Pre-booking

While B2C platforms rely on third-party apps for preorder functionality, Elastic has built-in tools for managing preseason and advanced orders.

Advanced Sales Rep & Dealer Tools

Platforms like Shopify Plus don’t have sales rep portals. Elastic offers dedicated tools like custom sales rep dashboards, Assortment Planners, Custom Catalog Builders, and Whiteboards.

Purpose-built for enterprise B2B growth

Elastic Suite is more than a commerce tool; it’s a fully integrated, B2B-first platform that optimizes every step of the wholesale process. With onshore support, expert integrations, and sales-focused features, Elastic helps brands sell smarter, not harder.
