Luminous B2B Portal: Your Wholesale Operations Hub

Luminous wholesale management in the B2B Portal is designed specifically for e-commerce businesses selling to mom-and-pop shops, specialty wholesalers, or those expanding into big-box retail. It automates the selling process and integrates directly into your warehouse and inventory management systems. Here's how Luminous simplifies wholesale operations in seven key ways:

Light CRM for Customer Management

Luminous serves as a light CRM for your business, handling customer details like contacts, shipping addresses, billing information, and payment profiles. It keeps all your customer data in one place, making it easier to manage relationships and transactions.

Order Routing

Whether you're receiving an order from a small retailer or processing an EDI 850 document, Luminous can handle it. Orders are routed to the appropriate distribution points—whether that's a third-party logistics provider (3PL), Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), or your own warehouse—ensuring smooth order fulfillment across the board.

Flexible Invoice Generation

Luminous can generate invoices from a single sales order or combine multiple orders into one invoice. Whether you're using traditional invoicing or EDI, Luminous adapts to your invoicing needs. Additionally, invoices can be pushed to QuickBooks for seamless accounting. Payments can be processed within Luminous or integrated with your existing payment systems like QuickBooks, Authorize.net, or HubSpot.

Custom Wholesale Flow

Unlike rigid systems that force you through a strict sales order-to-invoice process, Luminous offers flexibility. You can follow a traditional workflow or choose a more efficient process, such as creating invoices first, with Luminous auto-generating the sales orders and managing inventory on the backend. We work with your existing workflows to customize the system according to your needs.

Advanced Invoicing Tools

Luminous offers one of the most robust invoicing tools on the market, packed with features beyond what’s available in QuickBooks. From multi-add functionality and customizable invoicing templates to easy drag-and-drop subtotaling and built-in approval processes, invoicing with Luminous is intuitive and powerful.

B2B Portal for Self-Service Ordering

Luminous enables you to set up a B2B portal where your wholesale customers can place orders directly. The portal can be customized with your product catalog, customer-specific pricing tiers, grandfathered pricing, and payment terms. It's a secure, user-friendly platform that streamlines the ordering process for your wholesale partners.

Perfect for Growing Ecommerce Businesses

If your business started with direct-to-consumer sales and has since grown into wholesale, Luminous is designed for you. Many e-commerce brands find that a significant portion of their revenue now comes from wholesale—Luminous helps you manage that shift smoothly.
