Enterprise B2B Portal Solutions: Tailored Pricing, Order Tools, 1C Sync

Business clients demand personalized pricing, role-based permissions for their employees, and orders that sync directly with 1C. Without a B2B portal, teams waste time on manual approvals, lose documents, and miss deadlines. Our company has 5 years of experience and has completed over 10 B2B portal projects for manufacturing, distribution, and service companies. We build platforms that eliminate these issues and guarantee a reduction in administrative workload by 80%. For example, monthly order volumes on such portals range from 500,000 to 5 million RUB, and clients save up to 2 million RUB annually on operational costs.

A B2B portal vs. an ordinary online store

• B2B portals are private environments for corporate partners: wholesale purchasing, contract management, document collaboration, and legal entity accounts. None of these features are found in typical B2C shops.
• Key differences: multi-level pricing, complex user hierarchies within one company, and ERP integration (1C, SAP). None of the B2C checkout flows apply here.
• A B2B portal processes orders 3 times faster than email-based ordering, and reduces errors by 90%.

Access control and user roles

• Each client company gets a main account. Admins can create sub-accounts for managers, buyers, or accountants—each with different permissions. None of the roles overlap in access rights.
• Role-based views ensure that a buyer sees only prices and catalogs assigned to their company. None of the data leaks across organizations.
• User management is automated via self-service portal; clients can manage their own teams without contacting support.

Pricing and catalog management

• Individual price lists are loaded from 1C or defined manually per client. Prices remain confidential and are never public.
• Complex rules: volume discounts (e.g., percentage off based on order value), contract prices, promotional offers per client segment. These rules are configured once and apply automatically.
• Orders respect minimum quantities and packaging units configured per product. Settings can be updated via admin panel instantly.

Order processing and 1C integration

• Clients place orders through a streamlined interface. Orders flow into 1C automatically, triggering invoicing and shipment. No manual re-entry is required.
• Integration covers real-time stock visibility, price updates, order status tracking. Data stays synchronized within seconds.
• Document generation (invoices, waybills, acts) is automated using templates. Clients receive documents immediately after order processing.

Development of Corporate Portals and Internal Systems

We specialize in developing corporate portals — CRM, ERP, LMS, and Intranet. Each project starts not with landing page layout, but with how business rules will be embedded into the architecture: who sees which data, how 1C and accounting systems sync, how 500 contacts turn into 500,000 without performance degradation. Over 7 years, we have delivered over 40 portals for companies with 50 to 5000 employees. We will evaluate your project in two business days — just contact us.

A public website can be launched without detailed design — iteratively improved based on feedback. With a corporate portal, this approach does not work: the cost of fixing architectural decisions after launch for 200 users is incomparably higher. Therefore, we spend 70% of our time on analysis and prototyping, and write code only after the role matrix and integration scheme are approved.

Three areas where bad decisions are often made: access rights model, performance on large data, and real-time updates.

How to build a role model for 30 departments?

Access rights model. "A manager sees only their own clients, a department head sees the entire department, a director sees the whole company, but financial data is visible only to the CFO and above." This is not three roles — it's a matrix of roles, permissions, organizational units, and record ownership. Implementing it with if ($user->role === 'manager') in controllers will make the code unmaintainable after six months.

The correct approach: Spatie Laravel Permission for basic role model + Policy classes for object-level permission (can('view', $deal) checks not only the role but also ownership). For complex hierarchical structures — ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) instead of RBAC.

Performance on large data. CRM with 500,000 contacts, filtering by 10 fields, sorting by activity — a naive implementation yields 15-second queries. Composite indexes, denormalization of aggregates (last_activity_at on the record itself instead of MAX over related table), Elasticsearch for full-text search on contacts.

Real-time updates. Multiple employees working on the same document or task. Without WebSocket — constant setInterval with polling every 5 seconds, extra server load, update delays. Laravel Broadcasting + Pusher/Soketi or a custom WebSocket server on Node.js — for notifications and real-time changes.

CRM Systems

Typical set: contacts, companies, deals, activities, sales funnel, reports. Technically straightforward. The complexity lies in the details.

Pipeline with custom stages. Every company wants its own funnel. Stages must be configurable without deployment. Table pipeline_stages with position, color, is_final, probability — and drag-and-drop for reordering on UI (React DnD or dnd-kit).

Change history. Who and when changed a deal status, reassigned a responsible person, added a note. Audit log via Observer or spatie/laravel-activitylog. On UI — timeline with filtering by activity type.

Email integration. IMAP/SMTP for connecting corporate mailbox, automatic linking of incoming emails to contacts by email address. This works reliably only with proper handling of bounces, spam, auto-replies — filtering is required.

Why is ERP not about code but about data?

ERP is when CRM, warehouse, production, accounting, and HR are unified into a single system. Full ERP from scratch is rare (usually integrating with existing systems), but modular systems for specific businesses are common.

Key principle: financial operations must be immutable. Not UPDATE orders SET status = 'cancelled' — but creating a new record order_cancellations with a reference to the original order. This is the immutable ledger principle, which simplifies auditing and reconciliation.

Integration with 1C is almost always part of an ERP project. Two-way synchronization: from 1C to portal (directories, balances, prices) and from portal to 1C (orders, documents). RabbitMQ as an event bus between systems is more reliable than direct HTTP interaction — if 1C is unavailable, messages wait in the queue.

How are LMS structured: learning platforms?

Learning Management System — courses, modules, lessons, tests, certificates, user progress.

Video content is the most demanding part of an LMS. Storing video on your own server and serving via Nginx is a bad idea: expensive, slow, no adaptive bitrate. Correct approach: upload to S3/Cloudflare R2, transcode via AWS Elemental MediaConvert or Mux, HLS playlist for adaptive streaming via Video.js or Plyr.

Viewing progress — periodic sending of watch_position from the frontend (every 10–30 seconds), storage in Redis with periodic synchronization to PostgreSQL. Do not save every second to the database — it will kill performance.

SCORM compatibility — if integration with corporate training materials is needed. Separate module, there are ready libraries (scorm-again).

Intranet and HR Portals

Corporate intranet: news, documents, organizational structure, HR processes (vacations, requests, KPIs).

Organizational structure in the database is a hierarchical structure. Adjacency list (parent_id on each record) is simple to implement but slow for recursive queries. Nested Sets or Closure Table are faster for reading hierarchies, more complex for changes. In PostgreSQL — recursive CTEs (WITH RECURSIVE) with adjacency list — a balance between simplicity and performance.

Document and request approval — workflow engine. Simple linear approvals (employee → manager → HR → accountant) can be done without a special engine. Non-linear (parallel branches, conditional transitions, delegation) — consider ready solutions: Temporal.io for workflow orchestration or a custom state machine based on the state-machine pattern.

What is included in the work

When ordering a corporate portal development, you receive:

• Architectural documentation (ER diagrams, integration scheme, role matrix)
• Full code in a Git repository with CI/CD
• Access to infrastructure (hosting, databases, storage)
• Training for administrators and key users (2–3 sessions)
• Warranty support for 3 months after launch

Our design principles rely on official Laravel documentation on authorization (Policies) and recommendations for working with queues.
