OroCommerce Accelerator for Distributors

Distribution is challenging — you deal with incomplete supplier data, changing buyer demands, and frequent supply chain disruptions. With so much complexity, the last thing you need is an IT project that takes years to deliver results.
That’s why at OroCommerce, we’ve developed the Distributor Accelerator — a free set of tools tailored specifically for distributors like you. While our platform offers extensive out-of-the-box features, these additional tools make your digital transformation smoother, more efficient, and cost-effective.
Maximize Efficiency with Our Complimentary Tools
Our Distributor Accelerator is built by OroCommerce for our customers and is free of charge
Manage Your Catalog
Gain full control over how your products are categorized, priced, stocked, and presented. Our Distributor Accelerator includes features to enhance your catalog management:
- Product Cross-Reference & Substitute: Set alternative SKUs for specific brands and products. If an item is out of stock, automatically redirect buyers to pre-approved alternatives—no need for them to call and ask. Compatible with our Shopping Lists and Quick Order forms.
- Shop By Brand: Make it easy for customers to find products from specific manufacturers or brands. Manage your catalog to display products in a way that meets buyer expectations.
- Customer Part Number (CPN): Allow buyers to add and search using their own custom part numbers, streamlining their ordering process and making it simpler to do business with you on their terms.
- Product Enrichment Status: Track the completeness of any product based on the fields you require. Easily see how much data remains to be entered before a product is ready for your sales channels.
Accelerate Sales
- Saved Search: Enable buyers to save frequent searches, getting them to relevant products faster. They can subscribe to searches and receive notifications when results change.
- Barcode Scanner: Let customers order by scanning a barcode. Our accelerator integrates with Quagga, Scandit, and Dynamsoft to populate a quick order form using a phone camera or handheld scanner.
- Corporate Agent – Buy On Behalf: Allow large buying groups, cooperatives, or parent organizations to purchase on behalf of subsidiaries or divisions. Facilitate complex approval and procurement processes with fewer emails and calls.
