CASE STUDY

E Commerce Management

MRO ecommerce with punchout, pack quantities, and a cart purchasing will approve

Toolcrib lost plant business because buyers could not punch out or buy in pack quantities. We built B2B commerce around how MRO actually purchases.

The operational problem

The site sold each as each. Plants buy boxes. Procurement needed punchout into their ERP, not a consumer checkout.

The profitable accounts would not use the site. Inside sales was the real storefront.

What was breaking down

  • Each-pricing on box-sold items
  • No punchout
  • Checkout that asked plants for a guest email

How Striders Tech approached it

We implemented pack units as the sellable unit, wired punchout for the accounts that require it, and kept a human quote path for everything else.

What we built

  • Pack and each as explicit units
  • Punchout for contracted plants
  • Account checkout without guest-cart leftovers
  • Quote path for non-catalog items

Results the team can measure

  • Plant orders move through punchout instead of a PDF
  • Pack qty matches how the warehouse ships
  • Inside sales handles exceptions, not every box of gloves

Who this case study is for

MRO sellers whose Shopify-shaped store is insulting to a plant buyer.

Toolcrib Direct operates in mro / b2b. The work is a custom system designed around their process, not a generic template with extra fields bolted on.

THE OUTCOME

What changed after the system went live

Plant orders

move through punchout instead of a PDF

Pack qty

matches how the warehouse ships

Inside sales

handles exceptions, not every box of gloves

THE TAKEAWAY

Good software doesn't add complexity. It removes it.
