Our B2B Marketplace Development Services
We provide end-to-end B2B marketplace development services for companies launching, improving, or modernizing their platforms. Our team covers the full development lifecycle, from planning and MVP development to integration, migration, testing, and ongoing support.
B2B Marketplace Consultation
We help you define the right approach to building or improving your B2B marketplace. Our team analyzes your business model, user roles, transaction flows, technical requirements, integrations, and scalability needs, then recommends a suitable architecture, technology stack, development roadmap, and implementation strategy.
Custom B2B Marketplace Development
We provide custom software development services to build B2B marketplace platforms tailored to your business processes and commercial model. This can include buyer and supplier portals, product catalogs, advanced search, RFQ and quotation workflows, order management, contract pricing, approval processes, messaging, role-based access, and other marketplace-specific functionality.
B2B Marketplace MVP Development
Our MVP development team builds marketplace MVPs with the core features required to validate a B2B marketplace idea with real users and stakeholders. We help define the initial feature set, develop the platform, integrate essential third-party services, and prepare the MVP for further development based on user feedback and business priorities. A typical B2B marketplace MVP takes 2–4 months.
B2B Marketplace UI/UX Design
We design interfaces for complex B2B marketplace workflows, taking into account different user roles, large product catalogs, purchasing processes, approvals, and data-heavy screens. Our UI/UX design services cover user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and interface designs for B2B marketplace website development and mobile apps.
Marketplace Integration Services
We integrate B2B marketplaces with ERP, CRM, PIM, inventory management, payment, logistics, accounting, and other business systems. We also develop APIs and middleware to support secure data exchange between the marketplace, internal infrastructure, and third-party services.
B2B Marketplace Migration
We migrate B2B marketplace solutions from legacy platforms, outdated technologies, or third-party systems to a new architecture or technology stack. This can include application migration, database and product data transfer, integration migration, infrastructure changes, and validation to help preserve business continuity during the transition.
B2B Marketplace Modernization
We modernize existing B2B marketplace platforms to improve performance, scalability, maintainability, and user experience. This may include legacy modernization, architecture refactoring, cloud migration, UI updates, rebuilding individual modules, and introducing new functionality without replacing the entire system.
B2B Marketplace Testing & QA
We test B2B marketplace functionality across user roles, workflows, integrations, devices, and environments. Our QA services can cover functional, integration, usability, performance, security, and regression testing to identify issues before they affect buyers, suppliers, or internal teams.
B2B Marketplace Support & Maintenance
We provide ongoing support and maintenance for B2B marketplace platforms after launch. This includes bug fixing, performance monitoring, security updates, infrastructure maintenance, integration support, feature enhancements, and regular improvements as your marketplace and business requirements evolve.
B2B Marketplace Solutions We Build

Custom Development or a Ready-Made B2B Marketplace Platform?
One of the first decisions in any B2B marketplace project is whether to build the platform from scratch, launch on an existing B2B marketplace platform, or combine both approaches. The right choice depends on how unique your workflows are, how many systems the marketplace must connect to, and how you plan to grow.
Custom Development
A custom B2B marketplace gives you full control over business logic, user roles, pricing rules, approval flows, and integrations. There are no platform license fees and no limits imposed by a vendor’s roadmap. The trade-off is a higher initial investment and a longer path to the first release, which an MVP can shorten.
Marketplace Platforms
Platforms such as Mirakl, Adobe Commerce B2B, SAP Commerce Cloud, and commerce tools provide ready-made marketplace and B2B commerce functionality and can speed up launch. They come with license costs and platform constraints, and complex B2B processes usually still require custom modules and integrations. SCAND has hands-on experience with enterprise commerce platforms, including a B2B solution built on SAP Commerce (Hybris).
Hybrid Approach
Many companies use a platform as the foundation and extend it with custom modules, portals, integrations, and data flows. This combines a faster start with the flexibility to support processes that the platform does not cover out of the box. We help you compare these options during the consultation stage, based on your requirements, budget, and long-term plans.
Key Features of a B2B Marketplace
A B2B marketplace needs flexible functionality to support complex transactions, multiple user roles, tailored pricing, integrations, and efficient buyer-seller collaboration.
Role-Based Access
Different users require different permissions. Role-based access helps buyers, sellers, managers, and administrators work securely within clearly defined responsibilities.
Custom Pricing and Discounts
B2B transactions rarely rely on fixed prices. Flexible pricing supports negotiated rates, customer-specific offers, volume discounts, and contract-based conditions.
Advanced Product Catalogs
Complex catalogs require structured product data, custom attributes, filters, and account-specific assortments to help business buyers find relevant products faster.
Order and Approval Workflows
Multi-step purchasing often involves internal approvals. Configurable workflows simplify order validation, authorization, processing, and coordination across departments.
RFQ and Negotiation Tools
Buyers may need tailored commercial terms before purchasing. RFQ functionality enables structured requests, quotations, negotiations, and deal approval within the platform.
Payment and Invoicing Options
Business buyers need flexible payment conditions. Marketplaces can support invoices, credit terms, partial payments, multiple payment methods, and custom billing rules.
Vendor Management
Centralized vendor management simplifies onboarding, verification, catalog control, performance monitoring, and ongoing collaboration with multiple suppliers.
ERP, CRM, and PIM Integrations
Connected systems reduce manual data exchange. Integrations keep customer, product, pricing, inventory, and order information synchronized across business applications.
Account and Organization Management
Account management supports multiple users, departments, purchasing limits, billing profiles, addresses, and company hierarchies within a single B2B organization.
Trusted Software Development Company
For over 25 years, SCAND has been delivering secure, high-load software solutions for startups, SMBs, and global enterprises (including NASA, IBM, Cisco, FedEx, Bank of America, Siemens, and others). Our dedicated development teams support clients at every stage of the software development process — from idea and consulting to maintenance and support.
B2B Marketplace Integrations
Disconnected systems create data silos and manual work. SCAND integrates marketplace platforms with core business software to keep data consistent and operations synchronized.
ERP Integrations
When orders, stock, and pricing are managed separately, errors multiply. SCAND connects ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and NetSuite with marketplaces to synchronize critical operational data automatically. We also connect marketplaces to partners through EDI, as in our SaaS EDI platform project. Learn more about our ERP development expertise.
Fragmented customer data limits sales visibility. We connect marketplace activity with CRM records, giving teams a unified view of accounts, interactions, and transactions.
PIM Integrations
Large catalogs quickly become inconsistent across channels. Our specialists integrate PIM systems to centralize product data and keep marketplace information accurate and up to date. We also build custom product information systems through our PIM development services.
Payment Gateway Integrations
Rigid payment options can slow B2B transactions. Our payment gateway integration expertise enables multiple payment methods, invoicing scenarios, and business-specific payment conditions.
Logistics and Shipping Integrations
Disconnected fulfillment processes make delivery harder to manage. SCAND links marketplaces with logistics systems to automate rates, tracking, shipment updates, and fulfillment data.
Accounting and Billing Systems
Manual reconciliation increases workload and financial errors. Our team connects accounting systems to automate invoicing, payment matching, tax data exchange, and reporting. Punchout catalogs (cXML, OCI) let buyers shop the marketplace from their own procurement systems, such as SAP Ariba or Coupa, and return the cart for internal approval.
Features for Vendors, Buyers, and Marketplace Administrators
SCAND develops role-specific functionality for every participant in a B2B marketplace. Depending on their role, users can access tools for vendor management, product and catalog administration, purchasing workflows, order processing, transactions, and marketplace analytics.
Features for Vendors
Vendor functionality covers the key processes involved in managing products and marketplace operations. It can include product and catalog management, inventory synchronization, custom and tiered pricing, RFQ management, order processing, customer communication, fulfillment, commissions, and sales performance analytics.
Features for Buyers
Buyer functionality supports complex B2B purchasing processes and account-specific requirements. It can include company accounts, personalized catalogs, negotiated and tiered pricing, RFQs, bulk ordering, purchase orders, approval workflows, payment terms, order tracking, and repeat ordering.
Features for Marketplace Administrators
Administrative functionality provides centralized management of the marketplace ecosystem. It can include vendor onboarding and approval, user and role management, catalog and content administration, commission configuration, transaction monitoring, dispute management, marketplace analytics, and reporting.

AI Capabilities for B2B Marketplaces
SCAND applies AI agent development expertise to automate marketplace workflows, improve user experience, and help teams act on business data faster.
AI Catalog Enrichment
Supplier data arrives in different formats. AI normalizes attributes, fills gaps in product descriptions, detects duplicates, and maps supplier items to a unified marketplace taxonomy.
AI-Powered Product Discovery
Large catalogs make relevant products harder to find. AI improves search, interprets buyer intent, and surfaces products that better match specific business requirements.
Intelligent Buyer and Vendor Support
Our specialists implement AI assistants that answer marketplace questions, retrieve relevant information, and support users throughout purchasing and selling workflows.
Personalized Recommendations
SCAND uses marketplace and customer data to deliver more relevant product suggestions and help vendors uncover additional cross-selling opportunities.
Workflow Automation
Repetitive marketplace operations consume valuable team time. AI agents can coordinate tasks, use connected tools, and automate multi-step processes across marketplace operations.
Marketplace Data Insights
AI analyzes transactions, catalog activity, and operational data to identify patterns, summarize performance, and provide teams with actionable insights.
Built by Experts. Accelerated by AI.
We can enhance your solutions with AI tools where they bring real value or leave development completely traditional.
