ERP VARs
Add recurring SaaS revenue to your services practice. Deploy ordering infrastructure alongside your ERP implementations.
Who it’s for
Built for technology partners who serve industrial distributors.
Industrial Technology Consultants
Advise distributors on digital transformation with a platform that is in production today — not a custom build.
Distribution-Focused Digital Agencies
For agencies already serving distributors, wholesalers, or industrial B2B clients — deploy branded ordering portals without building custom commerce.
Where margin actually leaks
Your client keeps their ERP. VendorX governs the price from quote to invoice.
Distributors don't lose margin at the storefront. They lose it in the gap between the quote a rep sent, the override a manager approved, and the invoice the ERP printed — three systems, three versions of the price, no chain of custody.

Your client keeps their ERP.VendorX governs the price from quote to invoice.
BUYER
Reps, procurement, AP — one screen
The governance runs underneath
Reps quote, procurement approves, AP reconciles — all from one surface wired to your client's ERP. The user sees an order form. The audit sees the rule the order obeyed.
Quote
Below-floor pricing flags at quote time
Caught before the rep sends it
When a rep prices below the margin floor, the breach surfaces against the rule on the quote screen — not three weeks later when AP reconciles the invoice. Margin floors are tenant-configurable in the admin UI, no implementation ticket required.
Approval
Overrides need a reason code
Sealed into the audit trail
Off-policy overrides route through approval and require a categorical reason — competitor match, volume commit, contract negotiation, customer retention. The reason code, the approver's name as captured at approval time, and the timestamp are sealed into the hash-chained audit trail.
Order
Each invoice seals to a hash chain
Tamper-evident — the diligence answer
On finalize, the price, the override, and the approval reason seal into a SHA-256 receipt referencing the prior invoice's digest. Edit any historical row, the chain breaks on next verify. When PE diligence or your auditor asks for every below-floor sale in Q3 with reason codes and approvers, your client answers in 90 seconds.
Payment
Net terms and AR, alongside pricing
One platform across price and payment
Net-30/45/60 terms, customer credit limits, and Stripe card and ACH events all live in the platform that priced the order. Credit limits route over-limit orders to approval; terms drive AR aging and dunning. AR controllers stop reconciling pricing, payments, and orders across three systems.
SYSTEM OF RECORD
Same price, end to end
Where the path lands
On finalize, the order writes back to the ERP — same price, same approval reason code, same hash-chained receipt. QuickBooks Online order writeback ships today. Epicor Eclipse: Eclipse-only operational wedge, scoped import/export, partner-led runbook. NetSuite: in foundation, production writeback on the roadmap.

What VendorX is not
Not a marketplace
No GMV fee. No transaction take. No discovery layer between you and your client.
Not an ERP replacement
Your client keeps their ERP. VendorX governs the quote-to-order path around it.
Not a custom-build agency
Config-over-custom. Branding, theming, domains, catalog, pricing rules, and ERP connectors are all self-service.
VendorX is the governance layer between buyer and ERP — not a replacement for either.
Connects to the tools your clients already use.

How It Works
Three steps to your first live tenant.
01
Deploy
White-label your client’s storefront in 2–4 weeks. Custom domain, branding, theme tokens, and catalog scoped to electrical distribution.
02
Configure
Wire up margin floors, approval chains, Price Trace, and bidirectional QuickBooks sync. Config-over-custom.
03
Protect
Every quote checked before it leaves the building. Override path enforced. Tamper-evident audit trail on every pricing decision.

White-Label Storefront

Platform
Everything your clients need to order.
A complete ordering stack — so you can focus on winning customers, not building infrastructure.
Protect Client Margins
Margin floors, configurable approval chains, and Price Trace on every quote. Pricing discipline enforced inside the order path, not bolted on after the fact.
Prove Every Pricing Decision
Every guardrail, approval, and override sealed into a SHA-256 hash chain. Tampering with historical pricing data breaks the chain and is detected automatically.
One Governed Order Path
Every quote, approval, and fulfillment step runs through the same governance layer — so the price a customer sees, the price the ERP records, and the price on the invoice are the same price.
Keep Orders and Inventory in Sync
Bidirectional QuickBooks Online sync live today — orders, customers, and invoices reconcile without manual re-keying. NetSuite foundation is a scoped program, not production writeback.
Deploy Under Your Brand
Your brand, your domain, zero VendorX logos — partners resell the platform under their own name. Partner-led go-lives target a 2–4 week window with a certified partner on standard data (pilot-cohort timeline, not a contractual SLA).
90-Day Partner Activation Track
Partner activation, not tenant deployment: demo built by Day 30, first sales call by Day 60, pipeline review by Day 90. Training, co-selling, and first-deal support included.
Why VendorX
What VendorX replaces.
Most distributors run their margin discipline across phone, email, spreadsheets, and stitched commerce + pricing stacks. VendorX puts it inside the order path.

Partner Economics
Transparent partner economics.
Wholesale pricing. No percentage of your transactions. No routine audits. No monthly self-reporting — billing comes straight from platform telemetry. Your margin is the spread between wholesale cost and the price you set.
Partner economics
Run the numbers.
Pick a tier, set your client count, and your average end-customer ASP. Wholesale and program-fee math is hard-coded per tier — your spread is the gap.

Security & Trust
Tenant-isolated by design. Security in production today.
Every tenant’s data is isolated at the database — separated, not just permission-checked. PostgreSQL Row-Level Security, OAuth 2.0 + MFA, 5-tier RBAC, TLS encryption.

Stripe Payments
Four-layer tenant isolation (Entity Framework query filter, tenant-scoped PostgreSQL session variable, database-command verification interceptor, and PostgreSQL Row-Level Security policies on every tenant-scoped table) keeps every tenant’s data separate at the database. OAuth 2.0 authentication with MFA, 5-tier RBAC, and TLS encryption protect every transaction.
FAQ
Common questions
What is the minimum commitment?
The Starter tier is $15,000/year and includes one activation credit, a 90-day onboarding program, and email support. No multi-year lock-in required.
How does wholesale pricing work?
You purchase platform subscriptions at a wholesale discount and resell to your clients at the price you set. Your margin is the spread between wholesale cost and resale price. We never take a percentage of your revenue or your client transactions.
How fast can we deploy the first tenant?
Partner-led deployments typically go live in 2-4 weeks. The 90-day onboarding program covers training, certification, and co-selling support to help you close and deploy your first client.
How is VendorX different from generic B2B commerce platforms?
VendorX embeds pricing governance directly in the order path — margin floors, price trace, and approval chains are built in, not bolted on. Deployments take weeks through partners, not 6-18 months through system integrators.
How does VendorX compare to Shopify B2B (Winter ’26) or BigCommerce?
Shopify and BigCommerce are excellent generic B2B commerce platforms. VendorX is purpose-built for electrical-distribution quote-to-order with pricing governance inside the order path — margin floors, approval chains, Price Trace, and tamper-evident audit trail. If your clients want a storefront, the generic platforms are great. If your clients lose margin to override drift, stale ERP costs, and ungoverned approvals, VendorX is the right fit.
What about Sana Commerce or OroCommerce?
Sana and Oro are vertical-specialist B2B commerce platforms. VendorX overlaps on quote-to-order workflow but differs structurally on profit governance: margin floors, MAP gates, approval reason codes, and SHA-256 sealed audit trails are built in, not configured later. Partner deployments target 2-4 weeks for standard data; their typical runway is 8-16 weeks of system-integrator work.
My client uses Epicor Eclipse. Can VendorX support that?
The Epicor Eclipse connector is in our Limited Availability program (vertical pilot — see /capabilities for the canonical capability matrix). QuickBooks Online sync is in production today; NetSuite is at the foundation tier. If Eclipse readiness is a deal gate, talk to us early — connector productization is on our active roadmap and partner pilot signal accelerates it.
What happens after the 8-partner founding cohort fills?
The next partner cohort opens in 2027 with adjusted economics, formal certification track, and onboarding capacity built around the founding-cohort lessons. Founding-cohort partners get permanent grandfathered pricing, priority on product-roadmap input, and co-selling support that the 2027 cohort will not.
