Hello Dolibarrians ! I want to build a B2B platform that connects many (n) vendors with many (n) clients (Business customers). This is a particular industry in a particulal geography. And it would be runing on Cloud. I already listed all needed business functions for that platform to solve the identified B2B issues, to bring more value etc. I also tried to “theorically” map Dolibarr modules and functionalities with what is needed for that platform. My Question Dolibarrists is simple : do you think Dolibarr fit with B2B needs ? if so, why ? have you exprienced similar deployment? ---

what would people do on your platform? Would you use a multi entity installation? or use external users? ---

I need to be sure. but in my study (never tested Dolibarr), it should be Multi-entity to get clear data speration. Why ? the B2B platform is parallelizing process from each side (Vendors / Customers) Vendors : [Sales] from Marketing to Prospection to Sales to Operations to Delivery to Improvement. While Clients : [Procurement Process] From Needs Identification to Market Research to Supplier /Vendors Selection to Order Placement to Receiving & Inspection to Payment & Closure. The perfect scenario would be that the B2B platform as SaaS, each vendor has an access to it (data seperation), and can do this … Upload products & data sheets Upload Price Lists Insert promotion Insert Ads Receive inquiry Issue Quote Receive Order Access to Dashboard Manage prospects Manage inquiries Manage clients Manage payment Do analysis Get Reports Communicate with Prospects and Clients Process delivery (assign Transportation, schedule delivery, etc.) Create, issue and manage polls Update inventory status Customers has also access to it and can do the folowing: Search information (Events, Training sessions, Articles, Documentation, Vendor’s information, Distributors, Transportation Products, Data Sheets, Reports) Browse products Benchmark products Download documents & data sheets Ask for a quote Make an order Purchase products Plan and ask for delivery Get Support and Assistance Communicate with vendors Get reports Evaluate vendors Subscribe to newsletters Register to events Register to training Report incidence Request consulting Track order status ---

Hi, we are working on a project (temporary name DoliB2B) that should cover your needs. In practice, individual companies, in addition to sharing a series of registry(articles, third parties,…), can exchange various documents (offers, orders, invoices, …). ![immagine](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/0/0e16966bc44a6ed79e418ba4a3e946058bf98410.png) at the moment the development of the DoliB2B project is at a low priority, but we can still talk about it and try to give it a boost. After a quick read, the other functions you list are already included in the “basic” Dolibarr package ---

That is good ! We can work on it. I have one business use case, and I can give details on the functionalities. The main requirement is to feature it for many to many (n - n). we will have many Buyers company who deals with Many Suppliers (vendors). The Buyer may have a plateform where he can manager its supplies needs. I can share more details on the functionalties I want to see them up. ---

Well, that’s not exactly the case we’re working on. Mine was a one-to-many hypothesis (the franchising model), your solution requires that customers see all suppliers and vice versa for suppliers. For the rest, document exchanges, the 2 things are very similar. In private I’ll give you my contact details so we can talk
