Storefront

Storefront is the B2B procurement frontend we created at webridge GmbH, starting in December 2021 with the pandemic still on. It gives enterprise buyers one interface for everything they are allowed to buy: internal catalogs, punch-out suppliers and marketplaces, with Amazon Business connected early on. It does not replace the procurement landscape a company already has. It sits in front of it.

One place to buy from

Buyers search, compare and order across catalogs, punch-out shops and marketplaces without leaving the application, and the interface is tuned for the repetitive, high-volume purchasing large organisations actually do: the same consumables, the same suppliers, every week. A cart can be filled on behalf of someone else. The UI works on a procurement team's desktop and on a phone.

Plugged into the standards

Punch-out runs over cXML and OCI 5.0, so a round trip to a supplier's web shop brings the cart back where it belongs. The Amazon Business integration puts Amazon's catalog inside the company's governed process. Sign-in goes through OIDC, so the enterprise identity provider stays the source of truth, and orders flow on into SAP and other ERP systems.

In production at DAX companies

Storefront runs at DAX-listed corporations, which is a polite way of saying the compliance requirements are not negotiable. Multi-subsidiary, multi-country, role-based access control and audit-ready transaction logs, while the part the buyer sees stays fast.
