Manufacturing Enterprise Portal Development
A manufacturing enterprise portal addresses multiple tasks simultaneously: B2B sales to wholesale customers, dealer network management, technical product catalog, partner personal account. Manufacturing enterprises typically have complex SKU catalogs and 1C integration.
Technical Product Catalog
Industrial products have complex structure:
- Category hierarchy (typically 3–5 levels)
- Many technical characteristics (up to 50–100 attributes for complex equipment)
- CAD files, drawings, product specifications
- Compliance certificates (GOST, TU, ISO)
- Analogues and compatible products
Faceted search by characteristics is key tool for technical specialists. Elasticsearch with dynamic facets by numeric and string attributes.
Dealer/Partner Personal Account
- Individual price list (discount or markup to base prices)
- Warehouse balances in real-time
- Quick order by SKUs (bulk-input: SKU list + quantities)
- Order history, statuses, shipment tracking
- Invoices, shipping documents, certificates as PDF
- Marketing materials (brochures, 3D models, images for dealer websites)
1C:ERP Integration
1C:Manufacturing Enterprise Management — typical accounting system. Two-way sync:
- Product catalog (SKUs, characteristics, prices, balances) → portal
- Orders from portal → 1C for production planning
- Completion statuses → portal for dealer
For SAP enterprises: integration via SAP BAPIs or OData API.
Product Configurator
For configurable products (custom equipment) — online configurator: parameter selection (power, design, options) → automatic technical specifications and estimated cost generation → quote request.
Technical Support Interaction
Product technical support — not just a contact form. Partner account includes:
- Creating technical requests (installation questions, complaints)
- Access to technical knowledge base
- Chat with support engineer
Timeline
Technical catalog with B2B functions and basic 1C integration: 3–4 months. Full portal with configurator, dealer network, deep ERP integration: 5–8 months.
